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.

Single-Row Spherical Domes in Stereotomy Treatises [PDF]
[EN] This article focuses on analysing and modelling geometrically a complex vault typology known as single-row spherical dome, which was defined in several classic stereotomy treatises. The peculiarity of this kind of dome is that all their stone pieces are different, since there is a helical directrix defining the upper and lower edges of the pieces.

Architects in Noto and stereotomy in the 1700s
Val di Noto in Sicily is the geographical area with most attention to stereotomy and with centuries-old tradition in stone carving. In the ancient city of Noto one can note, and partially verify verify-from archival documents and manuscripts, and also through the discovery of complex architectural elements in stone found in recent excavations , that ...

Digital Expansion of Stereotomy - A semantic classification [PDF]
This paper presents a critical analysis and reflection on stereotomy with the purpose of updating its theoretical discourse. Having risen to the apex of architecture technological possibilities in the 17th century, stereotomic construction lost its importance in favour of iron, steel and other materials and construction techniques brought by the ...

Funicular analysis of symmetric arches with finite friction accounting for stereotomy [PDF]
In this contribution the funicular analysis of symmetric masonry arches is performed by accounting for stereotomy, as well as for the presence of Coulomb’s friction at the interfaces between the voussoirs.

3D Printing Stereotomy: Two Case Studies
Stereotomy – also known as “the art of cutting solids” – is a discipline that exploits rules of descriptive geometry to optimize the ashlars of a vaulted space, considering aesthetic, static and functional matters. Stereotomy and its innovation through

Geometry and construction. Theory of principal curvature lines in stone stereotomy
The paper illustrates the theoretical and practical study of the theory of curvature lines elaborated by Gaspard Monge at the end of the eighteenth century, and its application to the construction of cut stone architecture, with particular reference to ...
