Architectural Graphics
This book reports on several advances in architectural graphics, with a special emphasis on education, training, and research. It gathers a selection of contributions to the 19th International Conference on Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2022, held on June 2–4, 2022, in Cartagena, Spain, with the motto: "Beyond drawings. The use of architectural graphics".
Stereotomy
This book deals with the general concepts in stereotomy and its connection with descriptive geometry, the social background of its practitioners and theoreticians, the general methods and tools of this technology, and the specific procedures for the members built in hewn stone, including arches, squinches, stairs and vaults, ending with a chapter discussing the open problems in this field. Thus, it can be used as a reference book in the subject, but it can also read as a compelling narrative on this subject, one of the main branches of pre-industrial technology. Construction in hewn stone requires the use of geometrical methods and tools to assure that individual stones, either blocks or vou...
Construction Matters
Construction History, Construction Heritage, Recent Construction, Historiography, Industrialization, Engineering Sciences, Building Materials, Building Actors Construction History is still a fairly new and small but quickly evolving field. The current trends in Construction History are well reflected in the papers of the present conference. Construction History has strong roots in the historiography of the 19th century and the evolution of industrialization, but the focus of our research field has meanwhile shifted notably to include more recent and also more distant histories as well. This is reflected in these conference proceedings, where 65 out of 148 contributed papers deal with the bui...

Il corpo grafico di una architettura decorata
Attraverso la lettura integrale di una architettura di inizio secolo scorso caratterizzata da un singolare partito decorativo eclettico, collocata in uno spazio difficile del tessuto urbano di Bari, il presente volume indaga la relazione tra l’architettura e il suo apparato decorativo, tra il linguaggio plastico delle forme e quello grafico dei segni, punti, linee e superfici, fino a comporre e definire il “corpo grafico” dell’organismo architettonico, visibile, misurabile ed esperibile. Il presente studio propone una particolare narrazione visiva dell’opera architettonica che viene trasferita, mediante la traduzione grafica operata dal disegno, su un piano teorico/astratto e sperimenta un modello di rappresentazione che consente nuovi livelli di lettura e analisi, in cui le superfici esterne ed interne del Palazzo, con segni e sovrapposizioni, sono scomposte nei suoi elementi costitutivi e ricomposte all’interno di un sistema logico nuovo.
History of Construction Cultures Volume 2
Volume 2 of History of Construction Cultures contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building material...
Divine Proportions
"... introduces a remarkable new approach to trigonometry and Euclidean geometry, with dramatic implications for mathematics teaching, industrial applications and the direction of mathematical research in geometry" -- p. vii.
Mammals of South America, Volume 2
The second installment in a planned three-volume series, this book provides the first substantive review of South American rodents published in over fifty years. Increases in the reach of field research and the variety of field survey methods, the introduction of bioinformatics, and the explosion of molecular-based genetic methodologies have all contributed to the revision of many phylogenetic relationships and to a doubling of the recognized diversity of South American rodents. The largest and most diverse mammalian order on Earth—and an increasingly threatened one—Rodentia is also of great ecological importance, and Rodents is both a timely and exhaustive reference on these ubiquitous ...
