Designing the bastion against the Turks : Sicily and Malta / Maurizio Vesco
| Signatura | Copia | Colección |
|---|---|---|
| 11024 | Capítulo en monografía |
The paper explores the issues around the drawing of the military engineers serving the Spanish Crown in the Kingdom of Sicily between sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially focusing on those related to the project of fortifications intended to defend the island from the Ottoman enemy. The analysis is conducted primarily starting from the corpus of drawings, unfortunately very scarce, come down to us, but also looking for other useful points for reflection in the far more numerous indications contained in the archival records. Under investigation are, therefore, the methods and graphic devices adopted by engineers for the more effective representation of the architectural project, interpreted according to the diachronic process of their progressive development and consequent improvement.
P. 247-270.
