New Stereotomic Bond for the Dome in Stone Architecture
Abstract From a historical analysis of hemispherical domes and from the rigorous study of geometric methods to divide a sphere, this study presents innovative solutions for bonding a hemispherical stereotomic dome in cut stone, solutions that optimize its construction compared to traditional methods. This result is achieved through a five-fold structural geometry of bonding that reduces the number of invariant-ashlars to be produced in relation to maintaining their reduced dimensions and increasing the diameter of the dome they constitute, respecting static laws and improving aesthetic expressivity, and through modern technologies for designing and cutting building elements, thus simplifying the production process.
