Sylvie
Duvernoy is an architect, graduated from Paris University in
1982. She later participated in the Ph.D. program of the Architecture
School of Florence University and was awarded the Italian degree
of "Dottore di Ricerca" in 1998. She presently teaches
architectural drawing at the engineering and architecture faculties
of Florence University. The research carried forth since the
beginning of the post-graduate studies mainly focus on the reciprocal
influences between graphic mathematics and architecture. Architecture
history shows that geometry and its related aesthetic symbolism
were always present, hidden in architectural and urban design
from antiquity to modern times. The way they were involved and
the strength with which they were claimed, vary according to
historical periods. These relationships have always been expressed
by the means of the drawing: the major and unavoidable tool of
the design process. The results of her studies were published
and communicated in several International Meetings and Reviews.
In addition to research and teaching, she always maintained a private professional activity. After having worked for a few years in the Parisian office of an international Swiss architecture firm, she is now partner of an associate office in Florence, the design projects of which cover a wide range of design problems, from remodeling and restoration to new constructions, in Italy and abroad.
