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…
Mamluk Reproductions: Survey and Analysis of Tombs in the Cemetery of Sant’Orsola in Palermo.
2016
The contribution presents a study of various funeral chapels found in the cemetery of Sant'Orsola in Palermo. Realised during the 19th and 20th centuries, they van be taken as examples of Sicilian Orientalism. An original reading of the Rutelli Chapel, starting from the unpublished survey of its current state, provides an understanding of its geometry and morphology. The survey was conducted using the techniques of Structure from Motion. The Rutelli Chapel offers a very interesting example of architecture that demonstrates several similarities with some Mamluk mausoleums in Cairo.
THE PAINTED CEILING OF THE NAVE OF THE CAPPELLA PALATINA IN PALERMO: AN ESSAY ON ITS GEOMETRIC AND CONSTRUCTIVE FEATURES
2010
Il testo illustra gli esiti di una ricerca sulle matrici geometriche e costruttive del soffitto il legno che copre la navata centrale della Cappella Palatina di Palermo. L’opera, già oggetto di approfonditi studi relativi ai temi iconografici delle pitture che la decorano, viene indagata tramite un accurato rilievo condotto con tecniche laser scanning al fine di risalire alle matrici geometriche del progetto; tale indagine viene condotta tenendo in adeguata considerazione la struttura tridimensionale del manufatto, basata sulla tecnica dei muqarnas. Al termine dello studio viene definita una ipotesi che evidenzia una stretta correlazione fra il tracciato regolatore che ne definisce l’impian…
Rilievo/Racconto. Lettura multimediale dei dodici mesi in un capitello a Monreale - Survey/Tale. Multimedia reading of the twelve months in a capital…
2018
Lo studio riguarda un capitello monolitico quadruplo, sorretto da quattro colonne raggruppate, che si trova nell’area sud-occidentale del chiostro del Duomo di Monreale. Sul capitello sono raffigurati i dodici mesi dell’anno, secondo un programma iconografico proprio dei portali romanici che aveva la funzione di una rappresentazione narrativa. L’iconografia viene qui rappresentata attraverso un elaborato multimediale che assolve alle stesse finalità originarie di racconto di un percorso concettuale, mediante tecnologie per la fruizione virtuale e per la valorizzazione di Beni Culturali. The paper concerns a quadruple monolithic capital, supported by four grouped columns, located in the sout…
La cornice Ionica del tempio G di Selinunte. Rilievo e interpretazione per la ricostruzione virtuale.
2013
This research is focused on the virtual reconstruction of the Ionic cornice of temple G of Selinunte, as a case study for the definition of a virtual reconstruction method of collapsed walls elements in archaeological contexts. The complexity of the ruins of the temple suggested a thorough archaeological analysis of the fragments of the Ionic cornice that made it possible to identify traces of the construction process left by stonecutters during the worksite such as unfinished surfaces. The study of these surfaces, together with the dimensional data surveyed, provided the information to reposition the fragments in their supposed original position, and thus develop a virtual reconstruction o…
The design that connects : telling to educate
2022
Our socio-economic system – powered by fossil energy, non-renewable and polluting, and based on the exponential growth of consumption, with consequent exponential growth of waste (planned obsolescence) – is now collapsing. So what can design do to improve the society in which we live? The thesis of this discussion is that design can do a lot. Of course, we do not refer here to the projecting of niche products, technologically advanced, hedonistic and for the lucky few. If we want to change things, the designers of the future will have to direct industrial production towards sustainable solutions: reducing, repairing, reusing, recycling. These ethical actions should not be entrusted to indiv…
Environment, information, fake news. Information Disorder. Learning to Recognize Fake News. Fake News
2022
Although more than 25 years have passed since the publication of a report that clearly shows the scientific evidence on global warming and the influence of human activity, today there are still thousands of fake news stories circulating on the web. Lobbies have always used the media to discredit science, and with the boom in social media this strategy has shifted online. Deniers single out items of scientific truth and use them instrumentally to render fake news credible. After years of a widespread lack of control, something is changing: since 2020, Facebook has created the "Climate Science Information Center", a platform that signals fake climate news and encourages people to consult offi…
UN APPROCCIO BASATO SULLA MODELLAZIONE 3D E IL LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT PER UNA GESTIONE SOSTENIBILE DELLA MANUTENZIONE STRADALE
2021
Among several goals of the road agencies, one of the most relevant is the maintenance and rehabilitation of the road pavement. The growth of traffic, the longstanding lack of funding and, sometimes, an emergency-based planning of intervention, are common drivers leading to low level of pavement conditions in terms of ride quality and safety. In addition both cost and environmental concerns due to monitoring stage are relevant issues within the management system of local and urban road network, especially. With the purpose of implementing sustainability in the road pavement management, this paper provides an approach based on coupled low- cost 3D image modelling distress identification and L…
