Anamorphic Projection: Analogical/Digital Algorithms
2014
The study presents the first outcomes of a wider research dealing with the theme of “anamorphosis”, a specific technique of geometric projection of a shape on a surface. Anamorphosis represents the synthesis among geometry, art and architecture and is realized in scientific and empirical research approaches. In this study we investigated how new digital techniques allow to simplify the anamorphic applications even in case of projections on complex surfaces. After a short excursus of the most famous historical and contemporary applications, we propose some possible approaches that allow you to manage the geometry of anamorphic curves both in Descriptive Geometry field (by using interactive t…
A reverse engineering approach to measure the deformations of a sailing yacht
2016
In this work, a multidisciplinary experience, aimed to study the permanent deformations of the hull of a regatta sailing yacht is described. In particular, a procedure to compare two different surfaces of the hull of a small sailing yacht, designed and manufactured at the University of Palermo, has been developed. The first one represents the original CAD model while the second one has been obtained by means of a reverse engineering approach. The reverse engineering process was performed through an automatic close-range photogrammetry survey, that has allowed to obtain very accurate measures of the hull, and a 3D modelling step by the well-known 3D computer graphics software Rhinoceros. The…
Catoptric Anamorphosis on Free-Form Reflective Surfaces
2020
Lo studio si concentra sulla definizione di una metodologia geometrica per l’impiego dell’anamorfosi catottrica nell’architettura contemporanea. Viene illustrato il particolare fenomeno proiettivo, mostrandone proprietà tipologico-geometriche, rispondenti a meccanismi di riflessione della luce. Si evidenzia che le esperienze pregresse, nel corso dei secoli, impiegano la tecnica, relegando la realizzazione esclusivamente a dispositivi riflettenti realizzati da geometrie semplici, a piccola scala e quasi esclusivamente per specchi convessi. Volendo estendere l’impiego del fenomeno proiettivo e sperimentare le potenzialità espressive su superfici riflettenti di natura geo- metrica complessa fr…
