This volume of the collection Juanelo Turriano Lectures on the history of engineeringcontains the findings of R&D+I research project HAR 2012-31117El dibujante ingeniero al servicio de la monarquía hispánica. Siglos XVI-XVIII (DIMH)[draughts?man engineers serving the Spanish monarchy in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries], funded by the Spanish Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness and implemented under the leadership of Alicia Cámara Muñoz, Head of the National Distance University's (UNED) Art History Department. Authored by project researchers and other specialists, the chapters are grouped under four main sections: «Engineers vs architects, Illustrated design»; «Describing frontiers»; «Dissemination: Custom and form»; and «Digital humanities in the DIMH Project». Key aspects of engineers drawings, applied by the court to a number of purposes throughout the three centuries, are addressed under each heading. These illustrations and their authors were used by the crown to glean information on, control and transform cities and territories. The novel focus adopted enhances the understanding of the development, coding and usage of drawing. The participation of historians, art historians, architects and IT engineers attests to the interdisciplinary nature of the project and the changes taking place over the years in the study of images that lie halfway between art and science.
