  • Advancements in Arch Analysis and Design During the Age of Enlightenment
    ADVANCEMENTS IN ARCH ANALYSIS AND DESIGN DURING THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT by EMILY GARRISON B.S., Kansas State University, 2016 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science and Management College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Approved by: Major Professor Kimberly Waggle Kramer, PE, SE Copyright Emily Garrison 2016. Abstract Prior to the Age of Enlightenment, arches were designed by empirical rules based off of previous successes or failures. The Age of Enlightenment brought about the emergence of statics and mechanics, which scholars promptly applied to masonry arch analysis and design. Masonry was assumed to be infinitely strong, so the scholars concerned themselves mainly with arch stability. Early Age of Enlightenment scholars defined the path of the compression force in the arch, or the shape of the true arch, as a catenary, while most scholars studying arches used statics with some mechanics to idealize the behavior of arches. These scholars can be broken into two categories, those who neglected friction and those who included it. The scholars of the first half of the 18th century understood the presence of friction, but it was not able to be quantified until the second half of the century. The advancements made during the Age of Enlightenment were the foundation for structural engineering as it is known today. The statics and mechanics used by the 17th and 18th century scholars are the same used by structural engineers today with changes only in the assumptions made in order to idealize an arch.

FELLOW OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS AUTHOR OF THE RENAISSANCE UNDER THE VALOIS NEW YORK D. APPLETON AND COMPANY 1896 Copyright, 1896, By D. APPLETON AND COMPANY. INTRODUCTORY. Architecture, like philosophy, dates from the morning of the mind's history. Primitive man found Nature beautiful to look at, wet and uncomfortable to live in; a shelter became the first desideratum; and hence arose " the most useful of the fine arts, and the finest of the useful arts." Its history, however, does not begin until the thought of beauty had insinuated itself into the mind of the builder.

  • The Architectural Order in the Italian Twentieth Century's Reinterpretation
    The Architectural Order in the Italian Twentieth Century’s reinterpretation. From the canonic principles to serialism: a research for new syntactic combinations. Antonio Riondino1 Abstract. The architectural order, the analogic transfiguration of the petrifaction process, represents the unchanging tectonic-expressive icon, resulting from the material and constructive variability of the architecture; a variability today more and more subject to the spectacular advanced visual technologies or to those languages based on the predominant, often misrepresenting, sensorial action. In apparent contrast to these tendencies are those looking for possible new codes, able to respond to the chaotic condition of Babel, that characterizes the contemporary city, experiencing actions aimed at combining the update of the constructive and linguistic codes, with the phenomena induced by a different perception of the architectural landscape. To these theories belong all those trends of research, involved in architecture and the arts, according to a basically pseudoscopic approach; the same that, from Greeks onwards, is the privileged place of narrative function of the building. The domain most concerned by this experimentation, that is delivered to our future, is, of course, the tectonic one of the relationship between point elements, such as columns, pillars and frames. These elements, declined in overlapping, simultaneous or diachronic intersections, may try to compose new potential orders, new potential rhythmic sequences capable of expressing in harmonic phenomena the current almost incomprehensible shapes of our cities and landscapes. Keywords: pseudoscopic, eurythmy, symmetry, serialism, eidetic geometries. “in the best works a fundamental form is repeated and the particulars form figures similar to that form… so that harmony results from the repetition of the principal figure in its subdivisions”.2 “If for the mathematic the number is an abstraction, for the architect becomes a temple”.3 1.
