Abstract

The paper will show parts of a shape grammar that uses as corpus the Alberti`s treatise and buildings to see possible influence in Portuguese Architecture. The column systematisation grammar is a grammar of detail and some of the different elements of the column system (base, shaft, capital and entablature) may be connected with different orders (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite) showing different combinations. This system may be applied to generate some buildings namely Rucellai Loggia and palace facade, Santa Maria Novella Facade, Santa Andrea and specifically the subject of this paper the central nave longitudinal façade of the church São Vicente de Fora in Lisboa. Finally transformations rules are analysed mapping Alberti`s treatise influence in the work of the authors of the generated building.

 

 

Gramatica da forma da sistematização das ordens da Da arte edificatória

Este artigo mostra partes de gramatica da forma que usa como corpos o tratado de Alberti bem como alguns dos seus edifícios de modo a verificar a influência daquele autor na Arquitetura Portuguesa. A gramática da sistematização da coluna é uma gramática de detalhe. Alguns dos elementos do sistema da coluna (base, fuste, capitel e entablamento) podem ter elementos de diferentes ordens (dórica, jónica, coríntia e compósita) em diferentes combinações. Este sistema pode ser aplicado gerando a Loggia e a fachada do palácio Rucellai, a Fachada de Santa Maria Novella, nave central da fachada longitudinal da igreja Sant`Andrea e tratado especificamente neste artigo a nave central da fachada longitudinal da igreja de São Vicente de Fora em Lisboa. Finalmente as regras de transformação são analisadas mapeando a influencia do tratado de Alberti no trabalho dos autores do edifício gerado.
