The staircase with different travel path flows. Theoretical models and cognitive investigations of two examples built in Naples

The study focuses on a complex architectural typology: the analysis and representation of staircases with differentiated flows (double ramps). The aim is the investigation of the case studies of Palazzo Ricca/Cuomo and the Reggia di Capodimonte in Naples and their comparison with the theoretical models proposed by Italian architectural treatisers, which, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci in Manuscript B, will be adopted as typological solutions to meet hygienic- military needs until they come to express places of representation. The methodological approach makes use of the cognitive operations of architectural drawing and surveying, which, by means of special graphic renderings and three-dimensional models, aim to deepen the geometric, distributive and spatial specificities of the unprecedented case studies proposed. Finally, the comparative analysis of the studied examples made it possible to identify relationships with theoretical and applicative models found in other Italian and European contexts.

Abstract

The study focuses on a complex architectural typology: the analysis and representation of staircases with differentiated flows (double ramps). The aim is the investigation of the case studies of Palazzo Ricca/Cuomo and the Reggia di Capodimonte in Naples and their comparison with the theoretical models proposed by Italian architectural treatisers, which, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci in Manuscript B, will be adopted as typological solutions to meet hygienic- military needs until they come to express places of representation. The methodological approach makes use of the cognitive operations of architectural drawing and surveying, which, by means of special graphic renderings and three-dimensional models, aim to deepen the geometric, distributive and spatial specificities of the unprecedented case studies proposed. Finally, the comparative analysis of the studied examples made it possible to identify relationships with theoretical and applicative models found in other Italian and European contexts.
