What is Planterian Vaults

Chapter 15
Analysis, Conservation, and Restoration of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage
They are masonry vaults so called by Cavallari Murat for their inventor’s name, Gian Giacomo Plantery (1680-1756). They had a great spread in Turin city center in the Baroque age. They are mostly set on rectangular plan and are formed by the main vault in which the axial groins and the angular little vaults are inserted, creating schemes in which the two longitudinal and transverse axes prevail.

Abstract
In this chapter are developed some considerations about the heuristic potentialities of parametric digital modeling as a tool for analyzing and interpreting architectural heritage. Observed that the parametric thinking in architecture could be recognized almost from the origin, new parametric modeling software allows to verify the design criteria of the past. On the basis of previous studies on Baroque vaulted atria, this chapter develops, using parametric modeling tools, a real vocabulary of shapes and their possible combinations, suggested by the architectural literature of the time and the survey of about seventy atria in Turin. This method has been tested on the case study of the lunettes dome in the atrium of Palazzo Carignano.
