Download or read book All Sides to an Oval written by Angelo Alessandro Mazzotti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of the only book dedicated to the Geometry of Polycentric Ovals. It includes problem solving constructions and mathematical formulas. For anyone interested in drawing or recognizing an oval, this book gives all the necessary construction, representation and calculation tools. More than 30 basic construction problems are solved, with references to Geogebra animation videos, plus the solution to the Frame Problem and solutions to the Stadium Problem. A chapter (co-written with Margherita Caputo) is dedicated to totally new hypotheses on the project of Borromini’s oval dome of the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome. Another one presents the case study of the Colosseum as an example of ovals with eight centres as well as the case study of Perronet’s Neuilly bridge, a half oval with eleven centres. The primary audience is: architects, graphic designers, industrial designers, architecture historians, civil engineers; moreover, the systematic way in which the book is organised could make it a companion to a textbook on descriptive geometry or on CAD. Added features in the 2nd edition include: the revised hypothesis on Borromini’s project for the dome of the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome, an insight into the problem of finding a single equation to represent a four-centre oval, a suggestion for a representation of a four-centre oval using Geogebra, formulas for parameters of ovals with more than 4 centres and the case study of the eleven-centre half-oval arch used to build the XVIII century Neuilly bridge in Paris.

Book Freehand architectural drawing  Urban sketching

Download or read book Freehand architectural drawing Urban sketching written by Emanuela Chiavoni and published by Sapienza Università Editrice. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The programme objective is to provide students with the first basic tools to understand the world’s Architectural Cultural Heritage. The course teaches the methodologies for the representation of architecture and landscape and the graphic systems to communicate the beauty of typical cultural scenarios and to use traditional and innovative graphic techniques. Students must learn not only the geometric code required to consciously represent existing and imaginary forms, but will also study in-depth the geometric, proportional and perceptive tools that will allow them to manipulate those forms. Students will acquire the manual skills needed to become proficient in the use of the simpler and more direct graphic techniques thanks to multiple exercises in free-hand drawing and line drawing, with a particular focus on chromatic aspects. Students will also be taught the basic notions of the Fundamentals of the Geometry of Representation.

  • Author : Enrico Cicalò
  • Publisher : Springer Nature
  • Release : 2020-04-18
  • ISBN : 3030452441
  • Pages : 84 pages

Download or read book Graphic Intelligence written by Enrico Cicalò and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-18 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates and discusses the hypothesis that, within the theory of multiple intelligences, graphic intelligence can be isolated and defined as the ability to use graphic skills to solve problems and create products through the integration and coordination of eye, mind and hand, that is, visual perception, thought and graphic representation. Since it is essential to the development of thought in various disciplinary and professional fields, graphic intelligence is considered an intellectual skill that needs to be taught not only in specialist training, but also in general training and at all levels of education, from pre- and primary school to higher education. The book discusses the role of graphic intelligence within the design, scientific, artistic, education and communication disciplines, highlighting how graphic skills are fundamental to enhancing cognitive and imaginative abilities in all areas of training and professional knowledge.

Book Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools written by Amoruso, Giuseppe and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 1035 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual computing and descriptive geometry are multidisciplinary fields addressing the handling of images, 3D models, and other computer graphics. These ideas are experiencing a revival due to emergent technologies and applications available to developers. Based in traditional forms of design and architecture, these fields are currently experiencing a bounty of new research based on old principles. The Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools seeks to add to this knowledge base by considering these technologies from a designer’s perspective rather than reiterating the principles of computer science. It combines aspects of geometry and representation with emerging tools for CAD, generation, and visualization while addressing the digital heritage of such fields. This book is an invaluable resource for developers, students of both graphic and computer-generated design, researchers, and designers.
