Stereotomy - Open Access .click

Mathematics and the Built Environment, 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.

Stereotomy: Architecture and Mathematics

Handbook of the Mathematics of the Arts and Sciences, 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 ...

Philibert de L’Orme’s Dome in the Chapel of the Château d’Anet: The Role of Stereotomy

Architectural Histories, 2021
The coffered dome designed by Philibert de L’Orme (1514-70) for the chapel of the Château d’Anet in northern France between 1549 and 1552 is a masterpiece of stereotomy — the stone vaulting technique characterised by the custom cutting (or dressing) of a

Simplified micro-modelling of masonry cross vaults: stereotomy and interface issues

International Journal of Masonry Research and Innovation, 2020
The importance and the relevance of masonry cross vaults is evident in churches, palaces and cloisters of almost all European countries. However, despite their relevance and long-lasting history, which prove an accurate design with respect to ...
