DIGITAL MODELS FOR HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL ARCHIVES: experiments and reflections
No full textLa sensibilità delle istituzioni che gestiscono archivi di disegni d’architettura verso il tema della digitalizzazione ha subito una notevole accelerazione a seguito delle condizioni imposte dalla pandemia. L’accresciuta possibilità di accesso alle risorse ha promosso ricerche in diverse direzioni, dall’analisi dei disegni di architettura storica, alla ricostruzione tridimensionale di progetti non realizzati di architettura contemporanea italiana. Al contempo, queste ricerche hanno stimolato riflessioni su temi specifici: l’adeguatezza degli archivi digitali come strumenti di ricerca e divulgazione di beni culturali dalle particolari qualità come i disegni di architettura storica; la necessità di un maggiore livello di trasparenza dei metodi adottati per le ricostruzioni
3D di architetture contemporanee e l’importanza di comunicare chiaramente la loro attendibilità, similmente a quanto perseguito da tempo in ambito archeologico. Inoltre, vengono presentate alcune sperimentazioni sulla condivisione on-line dei risultati attraverso rendering sferici e modelli 3D con considerazioni riguardo le potenzialità delle diverse tecniche in tema di visualizzazione, complessità di implementazione e interazione.The sensitivity of institutions that manage archives of architectural drawings towards digitisation has significantly been accelerated due to the conditions imposed by the pandemic. The increased accessibility of resources has promoted research in different directions, from analysing historical architectural drawings to the three-dimensional reconstruction of unrealised projects of contemporary Italian architecture. At the same time, these researches have stimulated reflections on specific issues: the suitability of digital archives as research and dissemination tools for cultural assets with particular
qualities such as historical architectural drawings; the need for a higher level of transparency of the methods adopted
for 3D reconstructions of contemporary architecture and the importance of clearly communicating their reliability,
similar to what has been pursued for some time in the field of archaeology. Furthermore, some experiments on the
online sharing of results through spherical renderings and 3D models are presented, considering the potential of the
different techniques in terms of visualisation, implementation complexity and interaction

No full textParametric Mapping and Machine Learning. Experimental Tool to analyse Landscape in Slow Mobility Paths
No full textThe bottom-up research developed has led to an evolution
in terms of tools and methodologies for
spatial representation, divided into three classes. The first
one implements the GIS digital ecosystem for spatial data
provision. The first is inherent in the parametric precision
landscape modeling using NURBS technology in synergy with
parametric platforms. The multiscalar flexibility of the ad
hoc developed workflow was applied both to manage soft
mobility nodes and to define energy flows in built-up areas
of fragile territories. The second concerns the quantitative
analysis of the quality of slow routes through programming
codes that guide artificial intelligence platforms such as
Mapillary and Google TensorFlow. At present, research is
directed towards the synergic fusion of the two classes to
have increasingly precise representation and analysis tools
Increasing the Use of Reclaimed Asphalt in Italy towards a Circular Economy: A Top-Down Approach
Full text linkThis contribution concerns recommendations which could be made to Italian regulatory bodies to improve their use of reclaimed asphalt (RA) in the road engineering sector. It is essential for the use of RA to be established as a standard practice since it has been proven that it can serve as an end-of-waste product that complies with the principles of a circular economy within both an open- and a closed-loop approach [1,2]. Several aspects will be covered, starting with an analysis of European nations whose economies can be classed as “more circular” compared to Italy’s. This refers to nations which have a high usage of RA. Furthermore, nations which have clear regulatory guidelines on the use of RA in road construction or, alternatively, nations which have very lax statutory requirements on pavement design allowing best practice to reign could be considered as more circular if these regulations or permissiveness result in a greater uptake in the use of RA in road construction
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
