Abstract
A simple geometric query provides us with the opportunity to review a symbolic work of modern architecture, the Solimene Ceramics factory by Paolo Soleri, built in 1954. A question that is perhaps marginal in some contexts, becomes fundamental when it is a matter of executing elaborate technical and project drawings that accurately describe the project. Well beyond the necessities of descriptive geometry, a study of the configuration provides knowledge about it was built, at times highlighting variances that required corrections in the course of the works and the hypothetical area of generated stress. In the specific case, it explains the origin of the ‘flare’ that occurs at mid-height in the forms that compose the facade, a characteristic that paradoxically has never been considered in the technical drawings or discussed in numerous studies. The aim of this research is to explain why the forms of the facade are shaped the way they are.
