Architecture is a story told through stone, wood, and glass. It evolves over centuries, shaped by culture, technology, and human ambition. Chronodōmō brings this transformation to life, animating a single building as it shifts through architectural epochs. From the fortified simplicity of early medieval structures to the grandeur of Baroque, this project visualizes how architectural styles reflect their time, needs, and ideals.

Early medieval buildings were simple and built to last. Thick stone walls and wooden roofs kept people safe and warm, but there wasn’t much decoration. Windows were tiny, and buildings felt more like forts than homes. It was all about survival—nothing fancy, just strong and practical.

As life became more stable, buildings grew bigger and stronger. Romanesque architecture used thick stone walls, round arches, and small windows. Churches and castles looked solid and heavy, built to protect people inside. Carvings and simple decorations started to appear, hinting at a growing interest in art.

Gothic buildings were tall, light, and full of details. Pointed arches and huge stained glass windows replaced heavy stone walls. Flying buttresses helped support taller buildings, allowing churches and cathedrals to reach for the sky. Architecture became more about beauty and emotion, not just function.

The Renaissance brought back the balance and order of ancient Greek and Roman buildings. Architects focused on symmetry, columns, and domes. Castles became more like elegant homes, built for comfort instead of defense. The goal was to create spaces that felt grand but peaceful, reflecting a love for knowledge and art.

Baroque architecture was all about drama and impressing people. Buildings had curved walls, huge domes, and rich decorations. Light and shadow played a big role, making everything feel more alive. These buildings weren’t just places to live or pray—they were meant to make people stop and stare.
