Detalles del libro
In early modern engineering practice, drawings were not merely visualizations of ideas but acted as models that shaped ideas. Picturing Machines establishes basic categories for the origins, purposes, functions, and contexts of drawings, then treats a series of topics that not only focus on the most important aspects of the way drawings became an indispensable means of engineering but also reflect the main stages in the historical development of early modern engineering drawings. The authors examine the social interaction conveyed by early machine drawings and their function as communication between practitioners; the knowledge either conveyed or presupposed by technical drawings, as seen in the machine drawings of Giorgio Martini and Leonardo; drawings that required familiarity with geometry or geometric optics, including the development of architectural plans; and technical drawings that bridged the gap between practical and theoretical mechanics.
