IMAGE-BASED MODELING TECHNIQUES FOR ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE 3D DIGITALIZATION: LIMITS AND POTENTIALITIES
2013
Abstract. 3D reconstruction from images has undergone a revolution in the last few years. Computer vision techniques use photographs from data set collection to rapidly build detailed 3D models. The simultaneous applications of different algorithms (MVS), the different techniques of image matching, feature extracting and mesh optimization are inside an active field of research in computer vision. The results are promising: the obtained models are beginning to challenge the precision of laser-based reconstructions. Among all the possibilities we can mainly distinguish desktop and web-based packages. Those last ones offer the opportunity to exploit the power of cloud computing in order to car…
Dalla didattica al progetto di restauro: la collaborazione fra istituzioni per conoscere, conservare, valorizzare e fruire il patrimonio storico arch…
2020
La volontà di rendere sempre più incisivo e professionalizzante l’insegnamento del Restauro nei corsi di laurea in Architettura ha mosso chi scrive alla volontà di stabilire, tramite una convenzione, un rapporto stabile con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Palermo, città in cui si opera, da attuare con i corsi di Laboratorio di Restauro dei Monumenti nel Corso di Laurea LM-4 in Architettura di Palermo o nella redazione di tesi di laurea. Attraverso l’esame dei due primi casi trattati congiuntamente (monastero di S. Caterina d’Alessandria, caserma dei Carabinieri Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, nel complesso di S. Giacomo dei Militari) si delineano le opportunità e le criti…
The thermal performances of historic masonry: In-situ measurements of thermal conductance on calcarenite stone walls in Palermo
2018
Abstract Rich literature explores materials and construction techniques of historic buildings, but limited information is available about the thermal and hygrometric features of their envelope. Nevertheless, accurate hygrothermal data are essential for identifying effective energy upgrade measures, which must be compatible with the conservation of the architectural heritage. In order to fill this gap, it is necessary to refer to local contexts, where the variety of historic buildings is limited and their material and construction features are comparable. This paper focuses on historic masonry walls and discusses the results of twenty in-situ measurements of thermal conductance, performed al…
The Recurrent Characteristics of Historic Buildings as a Support to Improve their Energy Performances: The Case Study of Palermo
2017
Abstract The analysis of the recurrent characteristics of the local historic architecture is useful to develop large-scale energy analyses, regulations and financial strategies, but also to support technical guidelines for an energy improvement balanced with conservation. For this purpose, a multi-scale methodology ranging from envelope components to the urban dimension is necessary. In the research here exposed, this approach is investigated by focusing on the historic architecture of Palermo. For this heritage, the collection of thermal and hygrometric data for envelope components is combined with the examination of representative constructions, based on building stock categorization. Int…
