This survey is classified itself as a field one which data collection were inserted within a quantitative and qualitative approach. Acted in this research, two classes in initial teacher training. These were teachers and employees of public schools and local governments, living in the capital, in Natal Metropolitan Region - and within the country. The empirical part of the research took place in Pedagogy and Mathematics courses, IFESP in Natal - RN. The theoretical and methodological way construction aimed to present a teaching situation, based on history, involving mathematics and architecture, derived from a concrete context - Andrea Palladio s Villa Emo. Focused discussions on current studies of Rachel Fletcher stating that the architect used the golden section in this village construction. As a result, it was observed that the proposal to conduct a study on the mathematical reasoning assessment provided, in teaching and activity sequences, several theoretical and practical reflections. These applications, together with four sessions of study in the classroom, turned on to a mathematical thinking organization capable to develop in academic students, the investigative and logical reasoning and mathematical proof. By bringing ancient Greece and Andrea Palladio s aspects of the mathematics, in teaching activities for teachers and future teachers of basic education, it was promoted on them, an improvement in mathematical reasoning ability. Therefore, this work came from concerns as opportunity to the surveyed students, thinking mathematically. In fact, one of the most famous irrational, the golden section, was defined by a certain geometric construction, which is reflected by the Greek phrase (the name "golden section" becomes quite later) used to describe the same: division of a segment - on average and extreme right. Later, the golden section was once considered a standard of beauty in the arts. This is reflected in how to treat the statement questioning by current Palladio s scholars, regarding the use of the golden section in their architectural designs, in our case, in Villa Emo / O presente trabalho teve como foco desenvolver atividades de ensino, que proporcionassem, ao aluno na forma??o inicial de professores, uma melhoria ? capacidade de racioc?nio matem?tico e, consequentemente, uma maior aprecia??o dos conceitos relacionados ? se??o ?urea, aos n?meros irracionais, ? incomensurabilidade e ? demonstra??o da redu??o ao absurdo. A pesquisa classifica-se como de campo, cujos dados de coleta foram inseridos dentro de uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Atuaram, na investiga??o, duas turmas em forma??o inicial de professores. Esses eram docentes e funcion?rios da rede p?blica estadual e municipal, residentes na capital, na Regi?o Metropolitana de Natal Grande Natal e no interior do estado. A parte emp?rica da pesquisa realizou-se nos cursos de Pedagogia e na licenciatura de Matem?tica do IFESP, em Natal RN. A constru??o do caminho te?rico e metodol?gico teve como prop?sito apresentar uma situa??o de ensino baseada na hist?ria, envolvendo a matem?tica e a arquitetura, oriunda de um contexto concreto a Villa Emo de Andrea Palladio. Centraram-se as discuss?es nos estudos atuais de Rachel Fletcher ao afirmar que o arquiteto usou se??o ?urea na constru??o da referida vila. Como resultado, observou-se que a proposta de realizar um estudo sobre a aprecia??o do racioc?nio matem?tico proporcionou, no decorrer das sequ?ncias de ensino e atividade, diversas reflex?es te?ricas e pr?ticas. Essas aplica??es, aliadas a quatro sess?es de estudo, em sala de aula, voltaram-se para uma organiza??o do pensamento matem?tico capaz de desenvolver, nos acad?micos, o racioc?nio l?gico e investigativo e demonstra??o matem?tica. Ao trazer aspectos da matem?tica da Gr?cia Antiga e de Andrea Palladio, em atividades de ensino para professores e futuros professores da educa??o b?sica, promoveu-se, neles, uma melhoria na capacidade de racioc?nio matem?tico. Portanto, esse trabalho partiu de inquieta??es em oportunizar aos alunos pesquisados, o pensar matematicamente. De fato, um dos mais famosos irracionais, a se??o ?urea, foi definido atrav?s de certa constru??o geom?trica, o que ? refletido pela frase grega (o nome se??o ?urea ? bastante posterior) usada para descrever o mesmo: divis?o de um segmento em m?dia e extrema raz?o. Posteriormente, a se??o ?urea chegou a ser considerada um padr?o de beleza nas artes. Isso se reflete em como aproveitar a afirma??o do questionamento feito por atuais estudiosos de Palladio, quanto ao uso da se??o ?urea nos seus projetos arquitet?nicos, no nosso caso, na Villa Emo

(EN) The Prague's Lesser Town house of count Václav Michna of Vacínov (1611?-1667) pertains to be one of the biggest mysteries of the history of 17th-century architecture in Bohemia, the attention of a number of scholars notwithstanding. The grandiosity of the proposed plan, known in its entirety from a later copy, as well as the imposing design of the house's east front, distinguishing itself by a skilful use of the classical orders, indicate an employment of a designer of a rather surprising capacity and adroitness, given the time and place - Prague in the sixteen- thirties and sixteen-forties. The only incontestable clue, that suggests itself to a solver of this riddle, remains to be the date of the completion of the palace's stucco decoration (1644) and the name of its author, Domenico Galli (died 1675). The anonymity of the designing architect led the previous researchers to search for formal analogies in the Italian architectural production, quite without convincing results. The principal intention of this thesis, aside from an assessment of the previous findings and an attempt for a more accurate placement of the building in the context of Italian architecture, is rather to propose a reading of its meaning, based on a deeper knowledge of the patron's life, his interests, and representational...

I am working with software in academia for more than an decade and I had the "Moment" quite often. Palladio appeared just like an ordinary tool to solve my problem. Then, I changed a single parameter of my simulation---some hours later we hunted for a bug in the depths of Palladio. Based on the open source development model of Palladio and a very elegant structure of the source code, we were able to find the root cause of the problem very fast. To start fixing the problem, we "just" had to know when---in simulation time---a measurement of the SimuLizar simulator is valid. This paper summarizes our technical and philosophical discussions that ware needed to make Palladio deliver correct results and not to get lost in the depths of time and duration.

A presente dissertação procura analisar e discutir as obras de reabilitação de edificações existentes no período do Renascimento Italiano, compreendido entre os séculos XV e XVI. Nosso estudo buscou este período histórico por se tratar dos primórdios deste tipo de intervenção praticadas de forma consciente e com conhecimento histórico, além do fato de o confronto entre a situação existente e as novas inserções constituírem um rico universo de estudo das transformações sociais e arquitetônicas do período. Através da análise de obras de três arquitetos (Leon Battista Alberti, Michelangelo Buonarroti e Andrea Palladio), procuramos: entender como se operavam tais intervenções, reconstituindo a situação existente e as novas inserções a partir da historiografia do projeto e do contexto histórico que o cerca; identificar as interpretações de uma determinada sociedade sobre seus edifícios em épocas distintas; e buscar posturas e exemplos de projetos para nosso presente.

This thesis investigates the design of a new, private residential community on the undeveloped island, Thatch Cay, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Architectural issues explored include the use of load bearing walls versus free standing columns for the primary structure of the individual buildings as a means of ordering space and a way to frame the context of the Caribbean. Architectural decisions involve how to make openings in the walls, how much of the walls remain, and how the remaining portions of the walls are articulated, as best suited for the specific building type, a prototype residence, in this particular setting in the tropics. / Master of Architecture

Sweet Briar House is one of the best documented sites in Virginia, with sources ranging from architectural drawings and extensive archives to original furnishings. Sweet Briar House was purchased by Elijah Fletcher, a prominent figure in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1830. Thirty years later it passed into the possession of his daughter Indiana Fletcher Williams, and remained her home until her death in 1900. In her will, Williams left instructions for the founding of Sweet Briar Institute, an educational institution for women that exists today as Sweet Briar College. This dissertation examines Sweet Briar House in three distinct phases, while advancing three theses. The first thesis proposes that the double portico motif introduced by Palladio at the Villa Cornaro in the sixteenth century became the fundamental motif of Palladianism in Virginia architecture, generating a line of offspring that proliferated in the eighteenth century and beyond. The Palladian plantation (Sweet Briar House I, c. 1800) featured this double portico. In 1851, following the return of the Fletcher children from an extended Grand Tour of Europe, the house was remodeled as an Italianate villa (Sweet Briar House II, 1851-52). The second thesis advances the contention that by renovating their Palladian house into an asymmetrical Italianate villa, the Fletcher family implemented an ideal solution between the balanced façade that characterized the Palladian Sweet Briar House I and the fashion for the Picturesque that dominated American building in the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1876, the Williams family traveled to the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, where visitors were presented with an unimaginable array of artistic possibilities from countless eras and nations, exactly the conditions that the Aesthetic Movement needed to flourish in America. The third thesis maintains that the Williams family’s decision to transform Sweet Briar House into an Aesthetic Movement retreat was inspired by their reaction to the Centennial, and in particular by their appreciation for the Japanese objects presented there.

The subject of this paper is the study of history of the Kačina Chateau from the point of view of its inspiration from the art and architecture of the ancient world. The introductory chapters were dedicated to the general atmosphere of the time in which the castle was designed and built, the general ideas of the Enlightenment, and also to its relations to Count Chotek. There is an unresolved problem whether its relations to Classical antiquity monuments existed directly, or if they were mediated by other sources. While working on the theme it turned out that the foundation of Kačina Chateau derived from earlier models that were developed during centuries. The work of Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was of substantial importance for all Classicist architecture and especially the architects of the Renaissance knew it very well and used it frequently. For the architecture of Kačina Chateau the most important stimuli were those of Andreas Palladio who transformed earlier patterns according to his own artistic views. One of the following chapters concentrates on the personality of the owner of the estate, the Count Jan Rudolf Chotek, and then on the architects and builders of the castle. Following chapters are dedicated to the description of the castle, of its exterior, the segmentation of its interior...
