Esperienze didattiche e approfondimenti sui temi dell’HBIM e della realtà virtuale
Full text linkQuesto contributo ha il ruolo di riferire di una interessante esperienza didattica e di altre due attività di studio svolte nell’ambito di tesi di laurea, ciascuna originata dallo stage didattico realizzato dal team studentesco DIRECT del Politecnico di Torino a Tolentino, finalizzato al rilievo 3D del complesso conventuale.
La prima esperienza è legata al workshop di “Fotogrammetria digitale e scansioni 3D per il rilievo di beni culturali” (a.a. 2016-17), coordinato da Nannina Spanò e Filiberto Chiabrando. Gli approfondimenti legati alle tesi di laurea riguardano nel primo caso le relazioni tra la modellazione 3D dai metodi reality based per sviluppare applicazioni di virtual reality (Carla Borriello), mentre il secondo la strutturazione di un HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modelling) che per definizione si origina anch’esso da nuvole di punti di natura fotogrammetrica o laser scanning (Raffaella Stano)

The volume, bilingual in Italian and English, summarises the activities and mission of the Doctoral Programme in Patrimonio Architettonico / Architectural Heritage (DPA) of the Doctoral School of the Politecnico di Torino (ScuDo), in its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary essence, as well as the panorama of research undertaken on heritage issues. It is aimed at potential candidates for the Doctoral Programme and at the range of organisations, institutes and companies that represent and may represent potential interlocutors and partners for third-level research on architectural heritage and cultural landscape issues.
The book opens with greetings from the Director of the ScuDo and the Director of the Department of Architecture and Design, who frame the activities of the programme in the context of the university’s higher education scenery and the department where the programme is administered, respectively. This is followed by an illustration of its nature, edited by the Coordinator, in accordance with the ministerial accreditation document, which specifies its learning objectives and research topics, linked to the significant challenges facing the built heritage today: ecological and environmental transition, digital transformation, contribution to accessibility and inclusiveness, process innovation in knowledge, design, construction, monitoring and management strategies. The lecturers belonging to the DPA Academic Board and their affiliations (which include four PoliTo departments and seven foreign Universities) are also listed, the ten disciplines involved (History of Architecture, Architectural Conservation, Geomatics, Drawing, Architectural and Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Interior Architecture and Exhibition Design, Real Estate Appraisal and Project Evaluation, Structural Analysis and Design, Building Physics and Building Energy Systems), the laboratories and centres that support third-level research, and the members of the Advisory Board. One section is dedicated to abstracts of the courses offered over the last two years (2024-2025 and 2025-2026), while the last and most extensive section of the book, which is illustrated, provides a summary of the thirty-two recently completed and ongoing thesis research projects (cycles 37th-40th)
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
3D WebGIS for Ephemeral Architecture Documentation and Studies in the Humanities
No full textThe documentation and visualization of ephemeral CH, especially for World’s Fairs architecture, remains a neglected endeavor on the global scale. While digital products like 3D models find extensive application in CH, the use of a WebGIS has scarcely been explored in this domain. When a WebGIS is used for CH, it serves to communicate the output of research, not as a tool to support the development of the research itself. Moreover, aspects like procedural development for the creation of a WebGIS platform, its upgrading, and its long-term preservation are key factors for the maintenance of the digital tool, but they have scarcely been considered in the literature. Through the Turin 1911 project, this paper defines a procedure for the creation of a WebGIS for ephemeral architectural documentation, showing how a WebGIS platform can be designed, implemented, tested, and maintained. The novelty of this study lies in the creation of a 2D/3D WebGIS based on a tailored spatial database; the WebGIS is coupled with a dedicated website for the constant updating of the research data documenting the Turin 1911 International Exposition. The discussion emphasizes the transformative role of a WebGIS in not only sharing information but also serving as a dynamic platform for conducting digital humanities studies in 3D environments
The Evolution of the Concept of Underwater Cultural Heritage in Europe: A Review of International Law, Policy, and Practice
Full text linkUnderwater cultural heritage (UCH) is a diverse and valuable resource that includes shipwrecks, sunken cities, and other submerged archaeological sites. It is an important part of human history and culture and can significantly benefit society. However, various factors often neglect and threaten UCH, including climate change, pollution, and human activities. Several factors, including technological advances, the development of international law, and the growing awareness of the importance of cultural heritage, have influenced the evolution of the concept of UCH. In the early days of underwater archaeology, the focus was on recovering artifacts and treasures from shipwrecks.
However, over time, there has been a shift towards a more holistic approach to the management of UCH, which emphasizes the importance of in situ preservation and the involvement of local communities. This review provides a chronological analysis of the evolution of the concept of UCH
over the past 70 years and examines the main international conventions and charters developed to protect UCH. The review also discusses the relationship between UCH and marine protected areas (MPAs), the marine environment, and the coastal landscape
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
