Girard Desargues, the architectural and perspective geometry: a study in the rationalization of figure
… examines in detail Desargues' methods of stereotomy (the geometrical basis of architectural stone cutting) and his system of perspective construction without vanishing points beyond the picturespace. Desargues' theorem and other key discoveries for which he is still known in the history of …

Between the mark and the cut
… the interconnections between parts. Knowledge of stereotomy was an important consideration ensuring precision in the marking and cutting of the poplar wood. Photographs, sketches and drawings accompany the making of the model as way to further its realization.

Robotic design construction : digital fabrication strategies for freeform masonry casting and mobile assembly
… processes. Afterwards, two robotic prototypes of stereotomy will be presented. Through these two prototypes, robotic fabrication techniques and automation processes for on-site construction will be explored. Researches involved in this thesis aim to investigate a new approach which combines …

Theater: Architecture of the Horizon
… walk through six-foot thick brick walls of heavy stereotomy towards a lighter tectonic environment. As they approach the architectonic auditorium, the horizon, which they could initially only see through small openings within the massive brick walls, becomes more prominent, reminding them of the …

Volte Tardogotiche sarde: disegno, misura, materia
… ones obtained by encoding the treaties of stereotomy and construction published in Spain in the sixteenth century. At this stage, the relationship between the construction technique and the building materials were examined on the basis of information gathered during the census. elaboration …
