A Contribution to the Study of Instruction in Geometry and Architectural Representation in Spain during the 17th Century

Abstract

This study contributes to the knowledge of architectural representation and the theory of architecture in Spain during the 17th century through the

Architectural Graphics Research: Topics and Trends through Cluster and Map Network Analyses

“…The topics it involves are fundamental in the area of architecture; they correspond to the artistic or creative approach that tries to understand the decisions behind the design, or propose new ones. [29], historical images of architectural heritage [30], foundations of the theory of graphic representation [31] on the appearance of geometric constructions, such as the oval and its application in case studies in the construction of vaults in the 16th century [32], such as color theories in the applied case of Le Corbusier's combination criteria through a navigable 3D model [33] (see the color analysis result in Figure 1b), and the evolution of hand drawing on digital platforms [34] (see digital sketching example in Figure 1a). In this sense, Figure 1a,b provide a vision of the diversity of graphic contributions, from digital sketching related to the representation of haptic perceptions to the technical analysis on the combination of colors by a renowned architect.…”

Singularities of Perspective in Spain: The ‘Other Treatises’ on Perspective and their Importance within the European Context

“…Gentil Baldrich (2012a) provided a chronicle on the eventful whereabouts of the manuscript up to its facsimile reproduction. A study on the architectural representation of the treaty can be found by Martín-Pastor and Granado-Castro (2015), and a first study on the manuscript polyhedra was done by Gentil Baldrich and Martín-Pastor (2015). 4 With respect to perspective, the reference is to Euclid's 8th theorem: the apparent difference between two equal dimensions approached from unequal distances is determined by the relation of the corresponding visual angles.…”
