REAACH-ID Symposium Representation for Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence
Full text linkThe REAACH-ID symposium (Representation for Enhancement and management through Augmented reality and Artificial Intelligence: Cultural Heritage and Innovative Design), originally scheduled in Turin on 26 and 27 May 2020, took place in virtual form (13 and 14 October 2020), to which events are converting due to the known needs produced by the pandemic. The formulation was particularly effective and compatible with the topics covered, allowing more immediate transitions between the different forms of digital content presented by the speakers, without preventing the sharing of analysis and critical considerations (read more)

Il Disegno per l’Accessibilità e l’Inclusione. Atti del I convegno DAI, Genova 2-3 dicembre 2022
No full textDAI è un acronimo esortativo che indica Disegno per l’Accessibilità e l’Inclusione; una opportunità per fare rete tra ricercatori e operatori che da tempo si occupano di questi aspetti con lo scopo di mettere a confronto progetti rivolti ad un pubblico diversificato, riconoscibile nei vari ambiti della vita quotidiana e partecipativa, punti di vista che affrontano la questione della democratizzazione degli spazi sotto il profilo sociale, culturale e cognitivo.DAI is an exhortative acronym that indicates Drawing for Accessibility and Inclusion; an opportunity to network between researchers and operators who have been dealing with these aspects for some time with the aim of comparing projects aimed at a diversified public, recognizable in the various areas of daily and participatory life, points of view that address the issue of democratization of spaces from a social, cultural and cognitive point of view
The Role of Geometry in the Architecture of Louis Kahn and Anne Tyng
No full textAmong the salient features of the architecture of Louis I. Kahn, one recognizes the ability to reconcile the aesthetics of Modernism with monumentality and one of the elements used to implement this programmatic attitude is Geometry. In this regard, we cite the projects for the Trenton Bath House (1955–1956) and the unrealized Philadelphia City Tower (1952–1957), which are today attributed in the geometric conception to Kahn’s collaborator, Anne Griswold Tyng. Her production of concepts of unrealized projects is less known, among which the one for the General Motors Exhibit 1964 (1960–1961), which adopted particular geometric figures, showing not only her knowledge, but also her ability to manipulate regular and semi-regular polyhedra. Tyng was also interested in women role in the culture and she expressed in her most appropriate form—the geometrical schemes in her texts written in 1989 and 1997—her own theory about the evolution of the woman’s role towards an autonomous creative expression

"Questa sera si riflette a soggetto": specchio, osservatore e architettura
No full textIl presente contributo esplora esempi di impiego dello specchio nel linguaggio contemporaneo della rappresentazione dello spazio, nei quali si evidenzia come la complessità degli effetti speculari risulti fortemente correlata al ruolo percettivo dell’osservatore e alla sua relazione con lo specchio e il soggetto. Si considerano alcuni progetti architettonici contemporanei che evidenziano una vocazione alla trasformazione (frammentazione, sostituzione, inversione) attraverso la presenza di elementi riflettenti e si individuano loro possibili interpretazioni nelle arti figurative e letterarie.This contribution explores examples of the use of mirrors in the contemporary language of the representation of space, in which it is highlighted that the complexity of the mirrored images is strongly correlated to the perceptive role of the observer and his relationship with the mirror and the subject. Contemporary architectural projects are considered as they underline a vocation for transformation (fragmentation, substitution, inversion) through the presence of reflective elements, and their possible interpretation in figurative and literary art is identified
