Typically this involves materials such as stone or wood which is cut to be assembled into complex structures (wall, vault, arch, etc.). In practice, the engineer makes a drawing of the intended stonework, showing where the joints in the face are to be located, and the stone cutter then details each block and cuts it to fit exactly with the others. Stereotomy and descriptive geometry Stereotomy is strongly associated with stonecutting and has a very long history. Descriptive geometry can be considered as an evolution of streotomy. In technical drawing stereotomy is sometimes referred to as descriptive geometry Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by using a specific set of procedures.
