La chiesa di San Domenico ad Amatrice: genesi progettuale e trasformazioni architettoniche tra XVII e XX secolo
No full textThe same method that can be applied in any scientific research applies to the study of buildings, especially for historic buildings, it is based on a starting postulate that serves as a paradigm from which to derive future considerations.
In the case of the study presented here, the almost empirical axiom is rather simple, but perhaps not too trivial: 'every building is transformed'.
Following the seismic events that affected central Italy in 2016, Amatrice was one of the most representative cases of how the destructive force of nature, combined with the carelessness and neglect of man, made the city completely eliminated, causing the loss of the architectures that connoted it and made its identity recognizable.
The Church of San Domenico, with its related appurtenances, was one of the first buildings you would come across once you entered the city from the west entrance, before the construction of the Picente provincial road accessible from Porta Romana.
Between the XIV and XVII centuries, the part of the city on which the complex stood first housed the hospital and oratory of the "S. Spirito", then the church and convent of "S. Domenico", then transformed into a barracks, warehouse, centre of fascist propaganda and finally cinema and theatre dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi.
This contribution aims to illustrate the construction events and the architectural and urban transformations referable to the complex of the Dominicans of Amatrice, through the analysis and critical comparison of archival, bibliographic and iconographic sources
Il palatium Caetani a Capo di Bove: architettura e vicende costruttive dall’epoca romana al medioevo
No full textThe thesis focuses on reconstructing the construction history and transformations that have affected the
palatium Caetani on the Appia Antica, from its creation to modern restorations. The main objective was
to analyse the 14th-century palace in its architectural historical context, starting with the analysis of the
masonry stratigraphy, studying documentary sources, and conducting comparative analyses with
typologically similar buildings. The reliability of the analysed data, from a material analysis perspective,
was ensured using modern surveying technologies. Moreover, the studied building features a rather rare
architectural motif in the Italian landscape, namely the stepped or "Staffelgiebel" facade. Given its
reasonable state of preservation and archival documentation for dating, it was possible to conduct
comparative investigations extending to the European context to clarify the role of this architectural
motif in architectural history. Finally, the results of the historical architectural analysis were translated
into virtual reconstruction models. While these models may initially appear to serve scientific
dissemination alone, they are, in fact, a modern interpretation of the study models employed by architects
throughout the centuries. Virtual models have proven to be a valuable tool for visually and in real-time
verifying hypotheses within a plausible context
Il mausoleo di Cecilia Metella tra documentazione grafica analogica e digitale. Un approccio metodologico multidisciplinare
Full text linkThe paper presents the first results of the Cecilia Metella Project, at the ‘Parco dell’Appia Antica’. The prominent monument is dedicated to the noble Roman woman, whose life can only be deduced from what can be read from the epigraph carved in marble. Although the monument is probably the most famous and characteristic one of the regina viarum near the city, even today the knowledge of the mausoleum – at least from the point of view of digital acquisition and analysis of the graphic documentation – appears incomplete and therefore deserves to be deepening. The new technological frontiers and their integrated use in the field of cultural heritage allow scholars to have more accurate and complete tools at their disposal. These multidisciplinary applications make it possible to acquire, in a rapid and quick way, the physical and spatial dimension of very complex and stratified archaeological contexts such as the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella. In this context, the richness of the graphic evidence of the mausoleum allowed for in-depth comparative analyses regarding the iconographical documentation and its relationship with the physical monument acquired with modern survey techniques. This study therefore aims to update the state of the art of the tomb and to define a methodological protocol for the acquisition and critical analysis of the monument
Metodi, applicazioni, tecnologie. Colloqui del Dottorato di Storia, Disegno e Restauro dell'Architettura. Prima edizione
No full textNell’anno 2010, dall’unione dei Dipartimenti di Storia dell’Architettura, Restauro e Conservazione dei Beni Architettonici, e di Rilievo, Analisi e Disegno dell’Ambiente e dell’Architettura, è nato il Dipartimento di Storia, Disegno e Restauro dell’Architettura, il quale si offre oggi come centro di ricerca e di formazione sui beni culturali in generale, e sul patrimonio architettonico, urbano e paesistico in particolare. Le attività del DSDRA si concentrano in differenti ambiti: dalle teorie e i metodi storiografici allo studio di edifici storici, città, centri minori e paesaggio; dai metodi e dalle tecniche integrate di rappresentazione e di rilievo, alla visualizzazione e alla comunicazione, dal rilievo dell’architettura, della città e del territorio alla grafica e al design; dalle teorie e metodologie operative, alla valutazione e progettazione di interventi di conservazione, prevenzione, restauro e manutenzione programmata di materiali e strutture.
Oggi i dottorandi del Dipartimento, nonostante la conservata suddivisione nelle sezioni dei tre settori scientifico-disciplinari, si trovano a frequentare un ambiente interdisciplinare e a confrontarsi con colleghi dai profili a loro complementari.
I Colloqui del Dottorato in Storia, Disegno e Restauro dell’Architettura, che si è tenuto il 14 dicembre 2020 nella sua prima edizione, vuole essere un momento di incontro e di confronto tra le tre sezioni del dottorato: una piattaforma di scambio di metodi ed esperienze sulle recenti ricerche.
I dottorandi che hanno manifestato interesse a partecipare all’evento hanno presentato un loro contributo. Tali contributi confluiranno in un volume di atti che porterà all’attenzione della comunità scientifica metodi, materiali e risultati delle ricerche svolte negli ultimi anni dai dottorandi del DSDRA
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
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
