How are Early Byzantine churches different than Early Christian basilicas? Compare and contrast the architecture of Hagia Sophia and Sta. Sabina to explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal Answer should include:
1. Sta. Sabina is a typical Early Christian basilica because it has a longitudinal plan based on the rectangular form of the Roman basilica.
2. Sta. Sabina's nave is lit by clerestory windows and ends in a rounded apse; the nave is flanked by side aisles and the two spaces are separated by a nave arcade.
3. Hagia Sophia is a hybrid longitudinal-and central-plan church that is dominated by a large central dome supported by four pendentives that connect the base of the dome with the huge supporting piers.
4. Flanking conches form a longitudinal nave that expands outward from a central dome to connect with a narthex on one end and an apse on the other; the processional core is flanked by side aisles.
