Stereotomy

2020
One of the areas where mathematics interact with architecture and engineering is the geometrical definition and subdivision of construction elements. Although these issues arise with any material, they are particularly relevant in ashlar masonry.

About Building Stereotomy

2016
This contribution tries to reintroduce Stereotomy within the field of “research by design”: the discipline, in fact, can be used as a means of re-composition of the design, project and execution phases. Starting from the origin of this break-up, the focus moves to the actual value of geometric and formal prefiguration and to the validity criteria that ...

Stereotomy: Architecture and Mathematics

2019
Stereotomy is the art of building with small structural elements, geometrically refined, which allow the construction of architectural systems with triple value: aesthetic, static, and functional. A sense of constructive rationalization is inherent to the discipline of stereotomy which permits the optimization of structural form through the knowledge ...

Stereotomy of Wave Jointed Blocks

2016
This paper focuses on developing a system for using 6-axis robotic arms to cut interlocking blocks with wire. Tracing the trajectory of stereotomy through millennia of practice, an extrapolation is presented that stereotomy will serve increased formal and structural complexity.

Islamic Stereotomy in Cairo

2016
A great number of mosques, madrassas and hospitals compete with the enormous mausolea of the two gigantic historical necropolis of Cairo. The extraordinary Cairene domes have been the subject of really interesting studies. From the early historiography investigations to the most recent contributions, some of them focused on finding an explanation to ...

Notes on Guarini’s stereotomy: spherical vaults

2020
Questo capitolo analizza le connessioni tra i trattati di Guarino Guarini e la sua architettura, con particolare attenzione ai metodi per la costruzione di sviluppi e proiezioni per la stereotomia e le soluzioni progettuali per le cupole. Vengono esaminate le procedure geometriche descritte da Guarini nei suoi trattati Euclides adauctus e Architettura ...

De l’Orme’s Graphics Language: Between Stereotomy and Orthogonal Proto-Projection

2018
Stereotomy has always been a subject matter of speculation by scholars who have been involved in Descriptive Geometry. It is well known, in fact, how the latter has its roots in the trait art. Part of proceedings that Gaspard Monge will theorize at the end of 18th century, were commonly used previously to solve dimensional and angular implicit problems
