IL RUOLO DELLA GEOMETRIA DESCRITTIVA NELLA FACOLTA' DI ARCHITETTURA DI FIRENZE

This commemorative volume, edited by Roberto Corazzi, traces the pedagogical and cultural influence of descriptive geometry within the Faculty of Architecture of Florence, focusing on the career of Ugo Saccardi across 40 years of teaching. The book includes essays, visual materials, and testimonies from colleagues and students, exploring how geometry shaped architectural education, from analytical drawing to spatial understanding. It documents evolving didactic practices and the foundational role of geometric reasoning in project conception, especially in relation to structure and perspective. As both academic tribute and institutional chronicle, it highlights Florence's central role in advancing geometric methodologies in Italian architecture.
