Preface
We are pleased to present the book Masonry Structures: Between Mechanics and Architecture, sponsored by the Associazione Edoardo Benvenuto per la ricerca sulla Scienza e l’Arte del Costruire nel loro sviluppo storico in collaboration with the Dipartimento di Scienze per l’Architettura of the University of Genoa. The idea of a book on masonry structures arises from the privileged context in which the Associazione Edoardo Benvenuto has carried out its activities in recent years.
