Chanel's post on the Byzantine time period was mostly focused on the attributes of the dome and pendentive construction, a new stylized technique to apply a dome to a four cornered structure. This was brand new, and an architectural element that is used today, so it has much significance to the architecture and design industry. I thought her modern take to the Byzantine dome were spot on.
Katrina focused on pendentive construction of the dome, but instead of showcasing interior applications of a dome, she found exterior modern day dome construction. The Parisian basilica and the Turkish hotel are both so abstract to Byzantine architecture but equally amazing and an appropriate comparison.
