From archival research to the digitization of existing architectural heritage: methods and processes compared
No full textThe study presented aims to experiment with the various possible applications of 3D modeling, both parametric and non-parametric, using historical and project archives as the primary source for acquiring documentation. The initial questions posed were: What are the peculiarities of the different types of approach? What are the outcomes in terms of content and reliability? Indeed, the different types of modeling lead to different considerations and conclusions, along with methodological approaches that require unequal specific attention.
The main objective is to explore the possibility of digitizing built heritage using 3D modeling, both parametric (according to the BIM process) and non-parametric, starting from the information, as mentioned, contained in the documents from historical archives, project documents, and all relevant archives. The research undertaken introduces some initial limitations, focusing particularly on the digitization of protected heritage and properties owned by public administrations.
The case studies addressed for the development of the theme are identified in two buildings by Ignazio Gardella and the historic Palazzo del Governatore in Parma. The selected outcomes were subjected, respectively, to non-parametric 3D modeling and parametric BIM modeling, highlighting the differences in modeling management processes, which are highly correlated with archival research. The aim is to understand how to effectively use both techniques, both to digitize architectural heritage and to optimize the conservation and management of its information
I bambini e la misura dello spazio. L’esperienza di SOUx Parma
No full textIl 16 ottobre 2023 è stata inaugurata a Parma SOU, la prima Scuola di Architettura per bambine e
bambini nella città, la cui missione è non solo stimolare nei più piccoli la riflessione sulla progettazione
degli spazi interni ed esterni, ma anche promuovere e educare a valori di accoglienza, partecipazione
e impegno sociale. La scuola si configura come un’attività pomeridiana a cadenza settimanale aperta a
bambine e bambini di età compresa tra i 7 e i 12 anni, si sviluppa lungo tutto l’anno scolastico, ha la sua
sede principale nel Complesso di San Paolo, dove numerosi sono gli spazi per le attività, ma le espe
rienze si tengono in buona parte altrove, in diversi luoghi emblematici, noti e meno noti, della città.
Questo il contesto in cui si è svolta, nell’abito di un ampio programma didattico laboratoriale multi
e interdisciplinare, la lezione “Rileviamo lo spazio”, volta a fare osservare e conoscere lo spazio di un
piccolo giardino individuato come case study e oggetto d’analisi e progettazione dalla parte dei piccoli
partecipanti alla scuola. Il tema del disegno e della misura dello spazio da parte di bambini e bambine
è stato centrale sia nella preparazione delle attività sia nel loro svolgimento, che ha visto i partecipanti
impegnarsi con grande entusiasmo sia nella predisposizione degli eidotipi che nella misurazione dello
spazio che sarà oggetto del successivo progetto di valorizzazione
Caratteristiche e contenuti della modellazione digitale rivolta alla gestione dell’edificio/Characteristics and Contents of Digital Modeling Aimed at Building Management
No full textLa conoscenza del patrimonio architettonico esistente è l’atto culturale preliminare alla sua corretta
e adeguata conservazione e valorizzazione. La modellazione digitale dell’architettura, come noto,
offre oggi processi e metodi avanzati che vanno nella direzione di definire i supporti più adeguati agli
interventi fisici sull’esistente, agiti tramite interventi di restauro e/o manutenzione, e per gli interventi
legati agli aspetti di valorizzazione e ottimizzazione funzionale, dovuti agli usi che delle architetture
vengono fatti. Individuare le modalità e i processi di modellazione digitale, parametrica e non, più
adeguati in relazione alle finalità, tentando di partire da uno stesso modello che possa essere gestito
tramite processi e software differenti per caratteristiche, in relazione alle finalità, è l’obiettivo del
presente contributo, che costituisce la sintesi di una più ampia ricerca che vede come caso studio
il
monumentale Palazzo del Governatore di Parma, edificio di proprietà pubblica in buona parte
destinato a sede espositiva di mostre temporanee, venendo così a presentare esigenze diverse in
relazione agli aspetti di manutenzione di un patrimonio architettonico fruibile dalla comunità e alle
esigenze di funzionalizzazione che mutano al mutare di ogni evento espositivo e alle specifiche pe
culiarità allestitive. Partire da un unico modello, quindi, e poi diramarne le caratteristiche in funzione
delle finalità d’uso, nella necessaria interazione con altri software che ci aiutino a narrare gli aspetti
che di volta in volta affrontiamo
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
