The rules of motion described by Leonardo da Vinci
in the drawing of the Vitruvian Man.
​

The body is made of the motion that the space of the surface has.
Leonardo da Vinci

​The double cross system, divided into two volumes, describes the way the body naturally moves through space and time, with the correct measurements varying for each of us. The system is based on two rules, described by Leonardo da Vinci in his drawing of the Vitruvian Man, which are very simple in practice but more complex in theory.
I recommend purchasing both volumes for a clear understanding of the two rules, as they are interrelated.
Scrolling through, you'll find information on purchasing both volumes and also accessing selected pages. Let's begin with a brief introduction written by the publishing services agency Forgia Press of Florence, whom I thank...
"Bridging the science of movement, art, and philosophy, The double cross system explores the interaction between body, space, and time, drawing inspiration from the extraordinary insights of Leonardo da Vinci and the famous Vitruvian Man. With clear language and a richly detailed visual approach, this volume is an essential tool for dancers, movement artists, and scholars of applied anatomy. A unique synthesis of theory and practice that celebrates the perfect balance between man and space, a timeless concept".
