INNOVATIVE REPRESENTATION OF ARCHITECTURE: ICONS AND CONCEPTS
This research deals with defining the boundaries of architectural representation that can be defined for the university training of new architects. This era is characterized by a strong presence of digital technology in all areas of the production process of the project and this has a strong influence on the expectations that are created around the iconic model of an "architecture product".
At the same time, the significance of the conceptual elements of the context and the process itself are likely to be outclassed by the seductive appeal of the evolved forms of computerized representation.
In this paper I present a path that integrates the conceptual and the iconic sides and that takes account of the epochal mutation to the representation without sacrificing any attention to the capital relevance of the conceptual representation of the meanings of historical, cultural and anthropological aspects of an architectural space.
This path has also been used as a frame for a didactical application in a class of Representation in the degree course of Environmental Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano
La rappresentazione come strumento analitico della filologia architettonica
Questo lavoro deriva dall’esperienza di studio sulla Villa Simonetta a Milano ed applica il principio della rappresentazione come conoscenza, secondo la teoria di Vittorio Ugo.
La conoscenza della quale parlo è relativa alle differenti stratificazioni, ormai perdute, così come analizzabili dalle rappresentazioni coeve, tanto riferibili a volontà progettuale quanto derivanti dal rilievo. La conoscenza delle fabbrica architettonica presente è così aumentata e approfondita dall’analisi filologica ottenuta attraverso la ri-rappresentazione
Metodo sperimentale di fotogrammetria rigorosa dei vicini
In questa relazione si rende conto della realizzazione sperimentale di moduli algoritmici di restituzione e rappresentazione dedicati specificamente alla fotogrammetria dell’architettura.
Gli elementi sperimentali sono proceduralmente integrati con le prestazioni offerte da software commerciale a larga diffusione e sono scritte in Visual Basic e quindi la compilazione per diversi sistemi operativi è possibile con piccole modifiche
PF SEMANTIC NETWORKS IN ARCHITECTURE REPRESENTATION: THE AOSTA CASE STUDY
In this paper I give account upon the application of an innovative tool such as PF sematic network for representing the startup phase of an architectural project. This experience has been carried on didactics along a Master Degree Class in the Civil Architecture Faculty of Politecnico di Milano during the academic years 2010/11 and 2011/12 and is still running in the current year. PF network (PF stands for Papi/Forzani), theory have been presented in ICERi 2012 conference and this is a practical application of the method to a real case study.
The task the students received was the design of an exibit pavillon of a given dimention in the roman city center. Students had to use a PF network structure to analize the area and to prepare a grid of possible architectural solutions.The whole procedure has been supervised step-by-step by the teaching staff: it started with a direct visit in the area of interest, with a detailed general, photographic and metric survey of the foro romano (roman main court, named "criptoportico"). The second phase was the construction of the place-transition table, which is necessary for organizing the semantic net, and finally the roman center area has been represented through a complete PF network.The final project of the pavillon has been made focusing the interest on the choice criteria in all the design solutions: they were always constrained to derive from the data that the PF net could give and used as guidelines.
This procedure gave us very good results in terms of achitectural quality and intelectual aknowledgement of the design process. The best projects and the corresponding generation network will be shown
SEMANTIC REPRESENTATION OF ARCHITECTURE: THE CANDELO CASE-STUDY
This report presents the experiment that was conducted in the application of Papi-Forzani semantic networks for the representation of an environment of historic architecture such as the "Ricetto di Candelo" in northern Italy.
The paper shows the methodological approach that was followed to enable a semantic representation tool that was designed for project applications to be used for purely analytical purposes.
During the research, direct surveys of historical and material type were carried out, aimed at building the fundamental set of terms which were to be considered as key to the compilation of a sequence of PF semantic networks.
The semantic representation has been complemented by a photographic campaign and a graphic reconstruction of the elements that have proved more complex or problematic in terms of architecture.
The results of this research have been also used as guidelines for a didactical experience during the class of "Instruments of innovative representation for architectural design" within the degree course in Environmental Architecture of the Politecnico di Milano

THE SEMANTIC DESCRIPTION MODELING
The descriptive model of architecture normally deals with aspects that connect an architecture to its primary formal source, i.e. geometry.
So, when it comes to building semantic models, a widely used strategy is to lay on a standard 3D model some thematic layers which show something about the topics you are interested in, to achieve the establishment of a stable model of a well known type and which is universally interpretable, both in terms of those principles that make it a model and from the point of view of content. We have decided to investigate around the chance of application of a semantic theory which derives directly from linguistics. Namely the “theory of prototypes” by Rosh, Kay and Berlin, which is here used to set the basis for a model of an architectural topic.
We know that a semantic model must necessarily refer to internal qualities to the architecture, which represent its goal and of which it is a mimesis, but at the same time may also contain general qualities and values, metonymically related to the subject but not parts of it.
In this contribution we want to account for the use of a graded semantic networks for the building of descriptive models of architecture and show their application upon the case of the Olivetti industrial district in Ivrea
