The book Essay On The Theory And History Of Cohesive Construction: Applied Especially To The Timbrel Vault by Rafael Guastavino is a comprehensive study of the construction technique known as cohesive construction, with a particular focus on the timbrel vault. Cohesive construction is a method of building that relies on the strength of the materials themselves, rather than on external supports or frameworks. The timbrel vault is a type of cohesive construction that uses thin, interlocking tiles to create a self-supporting structure.Guastavino's book explores the history and theory of cohesive construction, tracing its origins back to ancient civilizations and examining its evolution over time. He also provides detailed instructions on how to construct a timbrel vault, including the materials needed, the techniques involved, and the challenges that may arise.In addition to its practical applications, Essay On The Theory And History Of Cohesive Construction is also a work of architectural scholarship, delving into the aesthetic and structural principles that underlie cohesive construction. Guastavino's writing is clear and concise, making this book accessible to both architects and lay readers interested in the history and theory of building construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
