The virtual reconstruction of the minaret of Mansourah mosque (Algeria)
2015
This contribution synthetically addresses some of the photogrammetric solutions available today in the field of architectural-archaeological survey and the related applications outcome, evaluated during both the acquisition phase of metric data than in those of effective yield of refunds infographics. Therefore, we have focused on the virtual reconstruction of one of the most emblematic and symbolic building of the Algerian culture, the mosque of Mansourah, returning the minaret as it appeared before its partial collapse, namely correspondent in geometry, textures, and colours. The work is part of a larger research project to promote knowledge and dissemination of Algeria cultural heritage,…
Digitization and Preservation of Cultural Heritage Products
2017
Cultural heritage encompasses various aspects of a nation's history. Cultural heritage artifacts are considered as priceless items that need special care. Since the wide adoption of new digital technologies, documenting and storing cultural heritage assets became more affordable and reliable. These records are then used in several applications. Researchers saw the opportunity to use digital heritage recordings for long-term preservation. They are considering cultural heritage artifacts as products, and the history behind them as a product lifecycle. In this paper, we present the research progress in cultural heritage digital processing and preservation, highlighting the most impactful advan…
A Framework for a Smart City Design : Digital Transformation in the Helsinki Smart City
2019
Recently, there has been substantial interest in the concept of a smart city, as it has been a viable solution to the dilemmas created by the urbanization of cities. Digital technologies—such as Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence, big data, and geospatial technologies—are closely associated with the concept of a smart city. By means of modern digital technologies, cities aim to optimize their performance and services. Further, cities actively endorse modern digital technologies to foster digitalization and the emergence of data-based innovations and a knowledge economy. In this paper, a framework for a smart city design is presented. The framework considers a smart city from the pe…
Architectural Perspectives in the Cathedral of Palermo: Image-Based Modelling for Cultural Heritage Understanding and Enhancement
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…

Technologies of Re-familization
2019
In this chapter, the notion of re-familization is introduced, to allow for a better grasp of the cohesive impact of digital technologies in the context of extended and geographically distributed families. In the field of social policy, the notion of re-familization implies a reversal of the politics of de-familization that once was the hallmark of the golden-era welfare state. The argument is made that family-initiated uses of digital media and communication technology in response to (older) family members’ daily help and care needs resonate well with the idea behind re-familization. In conclusion, the chapter presents several ways in which re-familization manifests itself in the everyday l…
Mössbauer relaxation spectra in arbitrarily ordered absorbers—Line shape analysis for an iron(II) spincrossover complex in the presence of texture
1989
The stochastic theory of Mossbauer line shapes is formulated in a fashion which allows the evaluation of the spectral shapes for absorbers of arbitrary thickness, texture, and an anisotropic Lamb—Mossbauer factor. The results are specialized to a two-state-relaxation model of fluctuating electric hyperfine interaction in the case of an absorber of axially symmetric texture. The formalism is applied to the line shape analysis of Mossbauer spectra of a textured sample of the spin-crossover complex [Fe(mtz)6] (PF6)2 (mtz=1-methyltetrazole). It is found that between 185 and 240 K the rate constants for the HS→LS conversion are temperature independent, whereas an Arrhenius behaviour is found for…
