This book consists of chapters that focus specifically on single
figures that worked on Descriptive Geometry and also in Mechanisms
Sciences and contain biographical notes, a survey of their work and
their achievements, together with a modern interpretation of their
legacy. Since Vitruvius in ancient times, and with Brunelleschi in
the Renaissance, the two disciplines began to share a common
direction which, over the centuries, took shape through less
well-known figures until the more recent times in which Gaspard
Monge worked. Over the years, a gap has been created between
Descriptive Geometry and Mechanism Science, which now appear to
belong to different worlds. In reality, however, there is a very
close relationship between the two disciplines, with a link based
on extremely solid foundations. Without the theoretical foundations
of Geometry it would not be possible to draw and design mechanical
parts such as gears, while in Kinematics it would be less easy to
design and predict the reciprocal movements of parts in a complex
mechanical assembly.
