	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Byzantine Architecture
		Then the domical church is developed to the form of a long rectangle by means of two side aisles, which, however, are deprived of their significance by the intrusion of massive piers.
		Nothing, however, seems to betray the essentially Oriental character of Byzantine architecture so much as the absence of work in the higher forms of sculpture, and the transformation of high into low decoration by means of interwoven traceries, in which the chiselled ornaments became flatter, more linear, and lacelike.
		The real architectural ornaments are forced into the background by the frescoes which take the place of the costly mosaics and which practically cover all available wall surface.

		The main elements of the TIF are a 60-meter-high hull-shaped glass and steel atrium on the west end of the site and a cluster of block like buildings which runs along the east end of the site.
		The height of both the glass atrium and the hulking complex opposite it dwarf the plaza and create a space which is as cavernous and inhospitable as it is impressive.
		From the plaza, one proceeds into the Atrium, which is the main entrance for the exhibition areas and theaters, as well as the most impressive visual element of the complex.

		This narrative is intended to explain the basis for the selection of the design elements and for the architectural decisions that resulted in the new building headquarters for the Massachusetts Medical Society.
