About the Author:

Born in Paris, Jean-Charles Trebbi is an urban architect, designer, artist and writer. A genuine renaissance man who specializes in the infinite possibilities of folding, cutting and assembling using paper, cardboard, textiles and even wood and metal, he creates his own art books, which are often inspired often by urban spaces and architecture, and produces completely original structures with pop-up and cutting techniques.

The Fundamentals of Interior Design provides a thorough introduction to the key elements of interior design and the ideas that underpin them.

Well-arranged, logical, and aptly illustrated, this classic survey covers every aspect of the design process. It addresses architectural principles as well as their practical application, examining general questions of scale, balance, proportion, and symmetry and presenting detailed treatments of doors, windows, walls, stairways, columns, and other features.

Long acknowledged as a valuable resource for students and teachers alike, this volume is unsurpassed in terms of the richness of its material and the consistency of its insights. It was written by Nathaniel Cortlandt Curtis, an influential designer and artist who served as the head of the Tulane School of Architecture. Curtis illustrated his work with nearly 250 line drawings that depict architectural elements from a splendid variety of periods and settings, from ancient Rome's temples and palaces to modern-day hotels and museums of Paris and New York.

Cet important ouvrage s’attache à présenter la perspective traditionnelle construite sans tomber dans la facilité d’une vulgarisation toujours réductrice. À l’heure des procédés informatiques ce livre permet non seulement une compréhension profonde des implications de la perspective mais aussi d’assimiler les techniques permettant de réaliser des perspectives complexes. « La représentation de l’espace intérieur suit les règles courantes de la perspective et en respecte les conventions, elle a toutefois ceci de particulier qu’elle s’élabore à partir de notre perception d’un volume qui nous contient et qui se prolonge au-delà de notre champ visuel. C’est là une difficulté qui, dans de nombreux cas contraint le dessinateur à interpréter ces règles et ces conventions. La perspective est davantage qu’une simple construction géométrique, elle est aussi un mode d’expression capable de « rendre » nos impressions spatiales les plus fines. Elle n’est pas autre chose que du dessin, c’est-à-dire le contraire d’un procédé de nature mécanique. »

1. La sensation de perspective : Les stimuli. Les stimuli visuels. Image visuelle, image rétinienne. La mise en perspective, diversité des méthodes. Perspective traditionnelle, perspective curviligne. La comparaison entre les deux méthodes. Le choix de la méthode. Le champ visuel.

2. La perspective centrale : Le champ visuel comme référent. La distance de visualisation. Positionnement de la pyramide visuelle. La méthode conique. Les tracés auxiliaires. Le cercle. Les reflets. Vues plafonnantes, vues plongeantes.

Ce livre est l’un des ouvrages de référence sur la stéréotomie et la coupe des pierres. Cette branche de la géométrie descriptive est utilisée par l’architecte, l’appareilleur et le tailleur de pierres pour tracer ou comprendre le plan, l’élévation et la coupe d’un bâtiment, et de déduire la forme, le développement et le tracé de chaque pierre, depuis le simple claveau d’une plate-bande jusqu’au voussoir d’une vis de St Gilles. C’est l’art du trait appliqué à l’architecture et à la coupe des pierres.
Si la stéréotomie se pratique simplement avec une équerre et un compas, elle fait appel à de sérieuses connaissances en géométrie que Louis Monduit se propose d’enseigner au lecteur.
Après un bref rappel des bases de la géométrie descriptive (projection des volumes, des lignes et des surfaces, pénétration des solides) et de la géométrie pratique, l’auteur présente le tracé de 80 épures (plates-bandes, arcs, voûtes, trompes, arrière-voussures, escaliers et vis de Saint Gilles) que l’élève peut tracer à son tour pour en comprendre la construction avant de réaliser la coupe des pierres. La mention de quelques monuments (surtout parisiens) accompagne la plupart des tracés des épures pour servir d’exemple.

L’ouvrage original de 1889 était composé de deux volumes ; les magnifiques planches du tracé des épures (parfois doubles) aquarellées en trois couleurs étaient séparées du texte. La présente réédition en un seul volume présente le texte original (en typographie moderne) vis à vis de chaque planche reproduite en fac-similé.

Sommaire :
Définitions. Exposition du système métrique. Notion de géométrie pratique. Du mesurage. Du développement des solides. Notions de géométrie descriptive. Des outils. Tracé des épures : plates-bandes, arcs, voûtes, trompes, arrière-voussures, escaliers et vis de Saint Gilles.
