The emergence of digital humanities and the possibilities of digital era created new perspectives in cataloguing, collecting and presenting archaeological big data. The article presents some of the major results of digital humanities focusing on the digitization of the…

PATRIMONIO ARCHITETTONICO E TIMELESS TIME : PER UNA PERMANENZA TEMPORANEA

2018

Com’è avvenuto per le precedenti rivoluzioni industriali, la digitalizzazione non ha sortito effetti soltanto nei processi e nei prodotti tecnologici. Tra le sue dirompenti conseguenze sulla società e sugli individui, l’emergere di una diversa concezione del Tempo sta già condizionando il campo operativo e soprattutto teoretico dell’ambiente costruito connotato da significati culturali. Inusitate forme di memoria mettono in crisi la visione tradizionale di patrimonio, fondata su una visione lineare del tempo che separa nettamente il Passato dal Futuro, lasciando al Presente un mero ruolo da passatore. Superata la presunta immutabilità, ambizione di ormai obsoleti obiettivi conservativi rigi…

2015

Palermo off ers a repertoire of both artistic and architectural solid perspective of great beauty and in large quantity. This paper addresses the problem of the 3D survey of these works and their related study through the use of image-based modelling (IBM) techniques. We propose, as case studies, the use of IBM techniques inside the Cathedral of Palermo. Indeed, the church houses a huge and rich sculptural repertoire, dating back to 16th century, which constitutes a valid field of IBM techniques application. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the e ffectiveness and potentiality of these techniques for geometric analysis of sculptured works. Indeed, usually the survey of these artworks …

L'involucro architettonico. Declinazioni digitali e nuovi linguaggi

2010

L’immagine sembra oggi il vero obiettivo del progetto di molte architetture. “Immagine” e non “forma”: è bene non confondere le due locuzioni, dove la seconda non rinvia soltanto a ciò che si vede, ma anche a tutto il pensiero che le ha dato sostanza. Certo, l’immagine, nel momento stesso in cui è percepita assume il valore di segno. Ma segno di quale significato? Spesso un significato stereotipo, estratto da una insieme di valori convenzionalmente dichiarati positivi. Non è facile distinguere quanto di semplice immagine o di vera forma ci sia. Nello scenario dell’architettura sembra che il problema, come sempre, si ponga in termini di “novità”: una forma riesce ad essere tale, e non solo u…
