Download or read book Stereotomy written by José Calvo-López and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-08 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the general concepts in stereotomy and its connection with descriptive geometry, the social background of its practitioners and theoreticians, the general methods and tools of this technology, and the specific procedures for the members built in hewn stone, including arches, squinches, stairs and vaults, ending with a chapter discussing the open problems in this field. Thus, it can be used as a reference book in the subject, but it can also read as a compelling narrative on this subject, one of the main branches of pre-industrial technology. Construction in hewn stone requires the use of geometrical methods and tools to assure that individual stones, either blocks or voussoirs, fit with one another and conform to the general shape of walls, arches or vaults. During the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, such techniques and instruments were developed empirically by masons and architects. Later on, learned mathematicians and engineers introduced refinements in these procedures and this branch of knowledge, known as stereotomy, furnished much material to descriptive geometry, a science born with the French Revolution which provided the foundation for projective geometry.

Book Synopsis Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts, Or, Practical Aesthetics by : Gottfried Semper
Download or read book Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts, Or, Practical Aesthetics written by Gottfried Semper and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring influence of the architect Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) derives primarily from his monumental theoretical foray Der Stil in der technischen und tektonischen Künsten (1860-62), here translated into English for the first time. A richly illustrated survey of the technical arts (textiles, ceramics, carpentry, masonry), Semper's analysis of the preconditions of style forever changed the interpretative context for aesthetics, architecture, and art history. Style, Semper believed, should be governed by historical function, cultural affinities, creative free will, and the innate properties of each medium. Thus, in an ambitious attempt to turn nineteenth-century artistic discussion away from historicism, aestheticism, and materialism, Semper developed in Der Stil a complex picture of stylistic change based on scrutiny of specific objects and a remarkable grasp of cultural variety. Harry Francis Mallgrave's introductory essay offers an account of Semper's life and work, a survey of Der Stil, and a fresh consideration of Semper's landmark study and its lasting significance.

Book Synopsis The Projective Cast by : Robin Evans
Download or read book The Projective Cast written by Robin Evans and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-08-25 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Evans recasts the idea of the relationship between geometry and architecture, drawing on mathematics, engineering, art history, and aesthetics to uncover processes in the imagining and realizing of architectural form. Anyone reviewing the history of architectural theory, Robin Evans observes, would have to conclude that architects do not produce geometry, but rather consume it. In this long-awaited book, completed shortly before its author's death, Evans recasts the idea of the relationship between geometry and architecture, drawing on mathematics, engineering, art history, and aesthetics to uncover processes in the imagining and realizing of architectural form. He shows that geometry does not always play a stolid and dormant role but, in fact, may be an active agent in the links between thinking and imagination, imagination and drawing, drawing and building. He suggests a theory of architecture that is based on the many transactions between architecture and geometry as evidenced in individual buildings, largely in Europe, from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. From the Henry VII chapel at Westminster Abbey to Le Corbusier's Ronchamp, from Raphael's S. Eligio and the work of Piero della Francesca and Philibert Delorme to Guarino Guarini and the painters of cubism, Evans explores the geometries involved, asking whether they are in fact the stable underpinnings of the creative, intuitive, or rhetorical aspects of architecture. In particular he concentrates on the history of architectural projection, the geometry of vision that has become an internalized and pervasive pictorial method of construction and that, until now, has played only a small part in the development of architectural theory. Evans describes the ambivalent role that pictures play in architecture and urges resistance to the idea that pictures provide all that architects need, suggesting that there is much more within the scope of the architect's vision of a project than what can be drawn. He defines the different fields of projective transmission that concern architecture, and investigates the ambiguities of projection and the interaction of imagination with projection and its metaphors.

Book excerpt: The age of stone architecture is timeless and has prehistoric roots; it reaches beyond all trends and tendencies; it avoids that sense of transience that marks most contemporary architecture; and, at the same time, it inspires our most varied reflections and experiments, whether of constructive elements or small architectonic works. This book seeks to give a logical and chronological order to those reflections. Through our contribution to the development of stone architecture, we wish to emphasis that there is much still to be investigated and invented with stone, whereby we mean the enthusiastic rediscovery of those techniques and processes that time has forgotten but that hold, nonetheless, promise for the future.

Book Synopsis Stereotomy (Classic Reprint) by : Arthur Willard French
Download or read book Stereotomy (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Willard French and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stereotomy It is believed that, for some time, there has been a need for a text-book on stereotomy which should furnish, in addition to the valuable exercises in projections now given by a number of works, practical examples of modern masonry structures, directions for the preparation of drawings which are daily made by engineers and architects, and more of the practical detail of building stone masonry. Chapters I and II are intended to give the student an outline of those features of masonry construction which must be in mind in properly drawing plans for stonework. In courses of study where masonry and foundations precedes stereotomy, much of the matter in these chapters might well be omitted. Article 4 of Chapter II is thought to contain all that is necessary for the direction of the work of preparing plaster models. The making of a perfect model by the student insures a complete understanding of the problem. Chapters III and IV contain the problems of most frequent occurrence, and for many courses will furnish ample work for the class. Chapter V on the Oblique Arch, has been given at the suggestion of several professors, and it is thought that although the use of concrete and brick has removed the necessity of building skewarches with spiral courses of cut stone, the problem is a valuable one for the student to master. Examples of the false skew-arch and the skew-arch with ribs are taken from late practice. Chapter VI contains three problems of rare occurrence, and are given in condensed form. No claim is made for originality in the text, the aim of the authors having been to select matter from older works, to condense where possible, add explanations where it was deemed necessary, and to bring together matter that has been found scattered through many works. It is hoped that the effort may be of value to teachers and students of our technical schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
