SICAR RESTORATION OF RELIGIOUS WORKS OF ART IN URBINO
No full textNew restoration work on a cultural asset must be based on considerable professional skill, both in handling and sharing documents and data about the current site and simply to undertake the preparatory studies for future intervention. This is why Urbino's Carlo Bo University School of Conservation and Restoration has decided to try out using SiCaR, a web-based on-line IT system for documenting and planning Restoration Sites. The decision to follow a modern approach in managing Cultural Assets is based on the goal of finding the most effective way possible to collect and organise information and data about the restoration sites in order to facilitate planning in view of future interventions or in order to draw up a maintenance plan for each work.
Experience so far in the Conservation and Restoration School laboratories with students and teachers shows that applying SICaR to mobile art works of a religious nature - only apparently less complex than immobile art works - helps to obtain a final thorough scientific overview, useful tools for supporting future management of the items undergoing restoration work. At the same time, the primary goal we had set ourselves was achieved - that of communicating to the public the historical and critical contents of restored works of art, with the help of an IT tool.
The unrepeatable nature of restoration work, the uniqueness of this process which reflects the uniqueness of the work of art, implies that in every intervention, even the simplest, there has to be a more or less elevated, more or less explicit, perhaps more or less aware, element of research, innovation and experimentation. By adopting SiCAR as a tool for knowledge and management, we have achieved our goal of bringing together tradition and innovation, thus welding the relationship among heritage, culture, technology, innovation, economic development
Problématiques de conservation de la sculpture monumentale en Italie : de la documentation à l’intervention
No full textDocumenting masterpieces is essential to catalogue our knowledge and prepare the restoration. This documentation contains various information (texts, graphs, photographies, 2D sketches) and recently digitized documents (point clouds, 3D models) that we have to organise in an intelligent database easy to use. After the earthquakes in Italy, a special system has been implemented, called SICaR, to catalogue cultural heritage
“NOSTRA SIGNORA” DI RIOLA. RIFLESSIONI SU ELISSA AALTO TRA REALIZZAZIONE E AUTORIALITA’
No full textIl presente contributo rappresenta una parte delle attività – sia in fase di pianificazione, sia di attuazione – che l’Università di Urbino e l’Università di Bologna stanno conducendo in collaborazione con l’Archivio privato Architetto Glauco Gresleri (AAGG) e con l’Archivio A. Aalto Italia C.S.M.A. (Chiesa Santa Maria assunta di Riola di Vergato), diretti e gestiti dall’Arch. Lorenzo Gresleri. Lo scopo, in armonia con le iniziative promosse dal Ministero della Cultura - Censimento delle architetture dal 1945 ad oggi, Ereditare il Presente e la presente call Donne in Architettura - è la valorizzazione dell’archivio e delle opere gresleriane, riguardo alle quali sviluppare un piano di conservazione e gestione.
Tra le architetture già al centro di approfondimenti vi è la chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta a Riola Vergato, quest’ultima notoriamente progettata da Alvar Aalto, ma nella cui realizzazione la presenza di Elissa Aalto da un lato – che ne prende le redini dopo la morte del marito – e il supporto tecnico fornito da Glauco Gresleri dall’altro, giocano un ruolo fondamentale per portare a compimento il disegno lercariano delle Nuove Chiese. Come si chiarirà in seguito, l’occasione serve anche come ulteriore revisione della scheda del Censimento, per assegnare in modo più corretto i loro due ruoli, da chiarire e ricontestualizzare. Quindi, nella prospettiva di un Piano di Conservazione e Gestione di questo unico esempio dello studio finlandese sul territorio nazionale, il contributo mette in luce il coinvolgimento di Elissa “Nostra Signora”, ponendo particolare attenzione al tema dell’autorialità come elemento di riflessione strutturale nel campo del restauro
Conservation of Archeological Heritage: Management and Innovation Policies
No full textLa conservazione a lungo termine del patrimonio archeologico della Flaminia richiede la progettazione e
l’attuazione di piani di azione combinati, che preservino lo stato dei beni compatibilmente con le esigenze di
fruibilità dei monumenti da parte di visitatori.
La via consolare Flaminia si presenta nella sua complessità e fascino come uno studio archeologico
approfondito grazie alle numerose campagne di rilievo e di scavi archeologici che ha coinvolto studiosi di
discipline diverse. In questo lavoro si vogliono presentare i risultati di una vasta operazione di rilievo e
processamento dati, seguiti da un’integrazione nel sistema GIS per arrivare attraverso degli esempi ad una
programmazione guidata per la manutenzione e valorizzazione di questo grande patrimonio archeologico. Si
tratta di un percorso di studio che parte da una documentazione approfondita sulle realtà archeologiche
presenti e sulla loro storia e connessione con il territorio in cui si sono sviluppate, acquisendo dati delle fasi
di rilievo topografico e laser scanner con tutte le delicate e complesse operazioni di post‐processing dei dati,
per la costruzione di un geodatabase che riunisca tutte le informazioni geografiche‐geometriche delle
emergenze del sito. La georeferenziazione completa dei rilievi effettuati in loco, della cartografia, delle
immagini raster e di un completa gamma di dati topografici in un sistema internazionalmente riconosciuto,
UTM‐WGS84, è stata seguita dalla costruzione di un geodatabase, unico contenitore in grado di inserire
regole topologiche, domini e immagini incorporate in tabella degli attributi. I tool forniti da ArcGIS, dallo
Spatial Analyst al Patch Analyst hanno consentito una serie di elaborazioni completate dal rilievo 3D gestito
in ArcScene, sia come semplice visualizzazione tridimensionale dei multipatch derivanti dai rilievi laser
scanner sia per una corretta conformazione geomorfologica del territorio. L’interazione fra un rilievo
particolareggiato e un software evoluto quale ArcGIS 10.2 consente di creare un progetto completo, avanzato
e interrogabile per la gestione dati e pianificazione di restauro.
Si propongono in seguito, delle linee guida per la manutenzione programmata dell’area; manutenzione che
tra le sue potenzialità ha il fatto di tenere bassi i costi di gestione (ostacolando l’insorgenza futura della
necessità di interventi di restauro invasivi ed economicamente costosi) senza diminuire l’interesse e la
prevista affluenza dei visitatori nel sito. Il programma manutentivo si configura come proposta di una serie
di operazioni pratiche da compiere, abbastanza semplici e reiterabili, dall’effetto immediato e di basso
impatto economico. Il fine di queste azioni, eseguite con regolarità e continuità, è appunto quello di azzerare
e/o limitare l’insorgenza di fenomeni di alterazione, dovuti a fattori di degrado non eliminabili (come quelli
meteorologico‐ambientali). Attraverso la manutenzione, dunque, si potranno combinare gli intenti
conservativi con quelli legati alla fruizione e valorizzazione, aumentando la possibilità di godimento da parte
di visitatori e diminuendo drasticamente l’incidenza dei fattori di degrado sui materiali originari
Sperimentazione di un approccio partecipativo alla conservazione. Gli ambienti interni e gli arredi dei collegi universitari di Urbino
Full text linkThe paper aims to develop a specific approach to the conservation of the private spaces of the University Colleges in Urbino, designed by Giancarlo De Carlo.
This contribution argues that a new approach to the conservation should be advisable. Since the Colleges cannot stop working as accommodation for students, students themselves should be the protagonists of the conservation of these environments.
After a first phase of analysis of the conservation degree of the indoor spaces and the furnishings, the research project came to define a management path for the usual maintenance and right conservation of the indoor.
The elaboration of a geodatabase allowed organizing the data in relation to the objects’ location within the whole complex, thus enabling the cataloguing of the various degradation’s typologies hitherto impossible. In this way, a precise picture of the conservation state had been drawn, easy to access and consult for the person in charge of the maintenance and conservation.
The ultimate goal of the project is to grant that the furnishings and the environment they were designed for continue to be used by the constantly changing people of students. For this reason, the students’ engagement in the care process is the starting point to make the conservation sustainable.
As it is impossible to stop the daily activity of Colleges for conservative reasons, a new approach to ordinary maintenance is advisable, open source and participative
Conservazione e manutenzione all'interno di una città patrimonio UNESCO: il caso studio delle mura difensive di Urbino
No full textThe city walls of Urbino are considered among the main examples of military fortification of the sixteenth
century and currently represent the limit that defines the urban space of the city. In the early decades of the
sixteenth century, on request of Francesco Maria I della Rovere, the town was equipped with a defensive
system. These walls represent an exceptional case of historical stratification. The restoration project, born
within the Master in Instruments and Methodologies for Cultural Heritage Conservation and Valorization
of the University of Urbino, was subsequently developed by the research group. In the conviction that
there is a close link between restoration and the related concept of art and therefore of architecture, the
artistic and historical qualities are been identified to maintain or return establishing the limits and the
characters of the interventions. The design approach, of a historical-critical nature, has been flexible and
permeable to information of different nature and has contextualized the walls in relation to the historical
city. The theoretical vision has been translated into practical indications, but not for this empirical, able to
preserve and enhance the walls
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Il castello Colonna di Arnara: dal restauro del monumento alla valorizzazione del borgo antico e del suo territorio
Full text linkThe castle of Arnara, is located in Ciociaria in southern Lazio, in what was once the feud of the Conti of Ceccano. For the territory it is the most important monumental complex of medieval architecture. In fact, despite its small size, it is one of the few examples of fortified architecture still original in its essential lines. This castle represents an exceptional case of sedimentation and stratification, which even today, from its reading, allows us to reconstruct both its historical events and those related to the urban development of the adjacent historic village. Moreover it can be considered of priority importance also from the urbanistic point of view because it represents the first historical nucleus of Arnara.
Unfortunately, today, the castle is in a bad state of conservation. With the passing of time its conditions have become more and more aggravated also because of the complex events linked to the various passages of property, of private and public nature, which have strongly influenced the management of the monument. The study of the castle of Arnara is part of the national and international debate that considers participation a key factor for the sustainable enhancement of the cultural heritage, because it promotes greater awareness of its social and economic value. The objective of the research work is to develop, taking the castle as a case study, a new approach that sees cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) as an irreplaceable heritage of knowledge and as a precious resource for economic growth, employment and social cohesion; therefore a cultural heritage seen as a driving force. In the specific case of Colonna Castle, attention has been focused on the importance of being able to activate virtuous circles around this very important place of culture, enhancing its role as a centre of knowledge and incubator of creativity and social innovation
