The DOMUS project is a 1:50 scale construction of an imaginary 14th century aristocratic palace, chronicled by the author on the blog of the same name. This book, the first in the series, collects the chapters concerning the construction of the basement, from the concrete base to the cellar vaults, entirely revised and enriched with new graphic and textual content.
The assembly of walls, arches, vaults and all the other elements is described page by page as in a real diary, making this book a valuable tool for those who want to try their hand at their own project, or simply observe the construction site from a vantage point.
These are the topics covered:
- Brick making
- Concrete structures
- Herringbone paving
- Brick masonry
- Brick staircase
- Slate work
- Round arches in brick and stone
- Barrel and cross vaults with associated temporary structures
- Stone and concrete pillars
- Columns with spherocubic capitals
- Railings with woven or cold-wrought iron wire
- Simple or led wall torches
- Project elaboration
- Floor plans, studies and sections
- Photo gallery of the architecture that inspired the project
Step-by-step description of the construction process with measurements, materials and instrumentation used, as well as routing errors and their correction.
Note: This is the SOFT COVER edition with b/w images. A hardcover (partially COLOR) and a Kindle ebook edition are also available.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
