Before starting... Andrés de Vandelvira, our Master Builder of the Renaissance A large number of the Renaissance buildings that exist in our city were made by Andrés de Vandelvira (1505-1575). Initially, his trade was stonemason but his Great Genius led him to direct a large number of buildings with incredible mastery. From left to right: Palace of the Marquis of Mancera, Palacio Vela de los Cobos and one of the many church doorways in Úbeda. These items are provided and maintained by Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte - Bildarchiv Photo Marburg. To the right, statue of Andrés de Vandelvira.

Andrés de Vandelvira had a son, Alonso de Vandelvira (1544-1626). He published one of the most famous books on stonemasonry applied to construction based on the teachings of his father. Our students have had access to this book through Europeana and also in real format. They can see how geometry is linked to the construction of structures and how the accuracy of line drawing must be put into practice to make a well-made construction. https://www.europeana.eu/es/item/2022717/bnesearch_detalle_bdh0000014425 - 242 available pages (7, 30, 35 and more) in the link: http://bdh-rd.bne.es/viewer.vm?id=0000014425&page=1 Biblioteca nacional de España - Vandelvira, Alonso de (1544-1626) El tratado de arquitectura de Alonso de Vandelvira Español El tratado de arquitectura de Alonso de Vandelvira edición con introducción, notas variantes y glorasio hispano-Coquelin de Lisle.

Because we are in love with the buildings of our city, for years we have carried out exercises to deepen the knowledge of this art inherent in the world of architecture and engineering. Below we show some drawings made by Art and Techonolgy teachers. Manuel García Villacañas, art teacher at Santo Dominngo Savio School. Public domain.
