Problems in Stone Cutting (Classic Reprint): In Four Classes for Students of Engineering and Architecture - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Mastering Stone-Cutting Principles for Engineers and Architects
This practical manual presents a complete course in stereotomy, focusing on stone-cutting for plane-sided, developable, warped, and double-curved structures. It combines clear explanations with worked problems to help students draw accurate forms and joints.
Stone-cutting is shown through four classes of structures, from simple walls to complex arches and vaults. The text emphasizes realistic problems, careful detailing, and methods you can apply in design and construction. Each section builds skills in projection drawing, developable surfaces, and the mechanics of curved forms, with many illustrated examples.
- Learn step-by-step methods for forming plane surfaces, building sloping walls, and creating recessed arches.
- Explore developable and warped surfaces, including conical and hyperbolic shapes, with practical problem sets.
- Study joints, beds, and headings for complex arches, groins, and cloisters, plus strategies for accurate fabrication.
- See how theory translates to practice with annotated drawings, notes on dimensions, and guidance for teaching or self-study.
Ideal for students and professionals in engineering, architecture, and design who want a solid, hands-on foundation in stone-cutting and structural geometry.
