Grid-based design in Roman villas: a method of analysis
Eliana Pinho; João Pedro XavierThe perceivable regularity of some Roman villas can be understood in the context of a grid-based design. In this paper we try to clarify the requirements under which we may consider that a villa has an outline based on a grid and we quantify the accuracy of the correspondence between a villa's plan and a given grid. We follow this approach with some Roman villas in Portugal and use the grids as a tool for the a...
The Roman Villa in Rabaçal and Álvaro Siza
João Pedro Xavier; Eliana Manuel PinhoThe residential area of the Roman villa in Rabaçal is a rare example of a house with an octagonal peristyle remarkable by its design coherence at all architectural levels, from the overall scale to decorative motifs. Everything is regulated by proportions derived from its octagonal plan naturally based in ad quadratum geometry. Recently, Siza was challenged to design covers and a visit tour in order to preserv...
The Partial Implantation, at 1:2 Scale, of Rabaçal's Roman Villa
João Pedro Xavier; Eliana Manuel PinhoOur aim is the implantation in the terrain of the octagonal peristyle of the Roman villa existing in Rabaçal, at scale 1:2. We will follow, as close as possible, the known Roman procedures, as described by Vitruvius and other ancient sources, and depicted in Roman sculptural reliefs.

The Book of Perspective of António Rodrigues's Architectural Treatise from 1576
João Pedro XavierThe aim of this paper is to discuss the Book of Perspective, found in the extended manuscript Tratado de Arquitectura (BN, Codex 3675), dated 1576, which has been attributed to António Rodrigues (c. 1520-1590). Considering the historical context of this work, its relevance was mainly the introduction of an innovative perspective rule, which was designed to solve the questions raised by the propagation of inaccu...
Leonardo s Representational Technique for Centrally-Planned Temples
João Pedro XavierThe aim of this paper is to verify how Leonardo’s invention of a new representational technique for centrally planned temples – combining as a system, the building plan and a bird’s eye perspective – is related to his own architectonic research on centralized space. In general it is proved the mutual dependence of this kind of representation and form result, but for some cases, it is als...

Geometria e Proporção
João Pedro XavierA geometria e a proporção são uma matriz dominante na produção teórica e arquitectónica de António Rodrigues. Neste capítulo procuram-se evidenciar os elos entre geometria e arquitectura na obra deste autor e a particular evidência intencionalmente conferida a esta íntima ligação, segundo pressupostos construtivos e simbólicos.
