Abstract
We introduce a survey focused on those papers whose
their main topics are based on procedural modeling methods
for masonry structures, especially for the historical buildings
such as churches and cathedrals. Furthermore, we have taken
a geometrical structure from one of these papers and studied
their geometrical structure behavior under simulation.
Keywords procedural modeling, historical buildings,
masonry structures, stable structures.

2. SURVEY
This survey is an approach for those methodologies of
procedural modeling techniques based on structural design and
masonry.
Whiting et al. [2009], describes a method based on masonry
structures such as cathedrals, stone bridges and more for
procedural modeling. This allows the user or designer creating
a set of rules for the aspect or architecture of the building
through parameters.
Once the user has created the set of rules, automatically the
method searches the stable configuration for the building shape
according to physical constraints with the resolution of inverse
static problems through quadratic equations of equilibrium.
