About this title

Synopsis

Practical Geometry Applied to the Useful Arts brings clear, step-by-step geometry to architecture, surveying, gardening, and measurement.

It presents fundamentals first, then shows how these ideas apply to real-world design and construction.

The book aims to make these crafts easier and more reliable for both gentlemen and artisans. It emphasizes practical methods, measured by rules and demonstrations that connect geometry to visible, tangible results in building and land surveying.

Foundations: essential geometric definitions, problems, and theorems in a concise, familiar style.
Applications: how to construct scales, plans, uprights, and the major architectural orders with proper proportion.
Architectural detail: how to delineate elements such as pedestals, columns, entablatures, and related features.
Techniques: procedures for drawing triglyphs, cima, and other ornament and profile work as part of the architectural elevation.

Ideal for readers of practical arts, builders, and students seeking a solid, usable approach to geometry in design.
