Stereotomy and the Mediterranean: Notes Toward an Architectural History
Mediterranea, 2017 Stereotomy, the art of cutting stones into particular shapes for the construction of vaulted structures, is an ancient art that has been practiced over a wide chronological and geographical span, from Hellenistic Greece to contemporary Apulia and across ...

Lightweight Stereotomy with Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic [PDF]
Nexus Network Journal, 2018 Stereotomy is historically synonymous with stone construction and solid architectural poche. Yet stereotomy need not be limited to dense materials and compression-only structural forms. With the aim of developing stereotomic architecture that employs parts that are exceptionally expressive—rather than exceptionally heavy—this paper explores ...

Stereotomy and Architectural Design at Foster + Partners [PDF]
Nexus Network Journal, 2018 For centuries, stereotomy has been the instrument for building arches, staircases and complex vaulted systems using stone as load-bearing material. Its constructive principles, codified in the classical treatises of few historical figures as Alonso de Vandelvira and Philibert de L’Orme, have found new applications in contemporary architectures ...

Optimal arch forms under in‐plane seismic loading in different gravitational environments
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1522-1539, May 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper is motivated by the renewed interest in space exploration and the need to provide structurally sound and resource‐efficient shielding solutions for valuable assets and future habitable modules. We present, implement and test a methodology for the preliminary design and assessment of optimal arch forms subjected to self‐weight as ...

CONSTRUCTIVE ANALYSIS OF MAYA VAULTED ARCHITECTURE FROM PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEY [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Studying Maya architecture from a constructive perspective reveals new insights into the ancient building techniques and processes. Gaining deep knowledge of these structures is key to assessing the current conservation state of the buildings and to ...
