The Vault and Coffers of S. Bernardo alle Terme in Rome
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3925-4852
The great variety of geometries of the inner surface of Roman domes is still an important issue to be explored. The aim of this research is to study the geometry of the vault of the church of S. Bernardo alle Terme in Rome and the relation with its constructive techniques. The church was built using an ancient Roman structure that was part of the Baths of Diocletian and preserves its entire dome. The analysis focuses particularly on the design and distribution of coffers, which seem to respect the original ancient design. The octagonal and squared shapes adapt to the spherical surface, reducing their size progressively as they approach the top of the vault. The studies are based on a new survey of the vault that we realized with digital automated photogrammetry. Based on these reliable data, we try to extract the geometrical rules of the design of the coffers studying their general arrangement and their specific shape.
