THE DRAWING OF A TERRITORIAL INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CASE STUDY OF THE ‘CAROLINO’ AQUEDUCT (ITALY)
No full textThe ‘Carolino’ Aqueduct, a territorial infrastructure, principally known to lead water to the park and the gardens of the Royal Palace of Caserta (Italy) is the main topic of tis paper. Specifically, presented here are some outcomes of research activities carried within the discipline of drawing with its different meanings (survey, representation, modeling, communication) and scalarities (architecture and territory). The activities have been fully systematized within a Geographical Information System (GIS) project with the aim not only to archive all the acquired and surveyed information but also to make it a communication tool - accessible through the web - to an expanded user that can enjoy this infrastructure, inscribed for its peculiarities in the UNESCO World Heritage List
Proporzioni e geometria del corpo umano nel disegno manuale prodromici alla rappresentazione digitale
No full textBody drawing has always been a current topic. In the past it was mainly linked to the figurative arts, nowadays it refers to all project fields in architecture, product design and fashion. Due to its transversal character, the body drawing has been the subject of both analog and digital representations. If the ways in which it was represented have adapted over time to technical and digital innovations, the geometric and proportional principles underlying the drawing of the human figure have remained almost unchanged. Precisely the permanence still today in the body digital modeling of the proportional relationships encoded starting from the Renaissance constitutes the interest from which this research begins.
If in the Renaissance the principles for the representation of architectural spaces in artistic works were well known, the principles for the construction of the image of the human figures present in them were less debated by treatises. The paper analyzes in the context of the treatises of the time the section of the volume by Abraham Bosse in which the author introduces a method for drawing and also for the relief of the human body, synthesizing it with a knot scheme defined by the same author as “wire figure”.
This scheme becomes the starting point to build graphically and with freehand drawing techniques the representation of anatomical shapes and therefore of the drapery of the dress worn. The graphic analysis compares the dimensions between the anatomical parts in the time and current measurement systems.Il disegno del corpo è un tema da sempre attuale. In passato era legato prevalentemente alle arti figurative, oggigiorno è riferito a tutti gli ambiti del progetto, in architettura, nel design del prodotto e nella moda. Proprio per la sua trasversalità il disegno del corpo è stato oggetto di rappresentazioni sia analogiche che digitali. Se le modalità con le quali è stato rappresentato si sono adeguate nel tempo alle innovazioni tecniche e digitali, i principi geometrici e proporzionali alla base del disegno della figura umana sono rimasti pressoché invariati. Proprio la permanenza fino ad oggi nella modellazione digitale del corpo umano dei rapporti proporzionali codificati a partire dal Rinascimento, costituisce l’interesse da cui principia la presente ricerca.
Se nel Rinascimento erano ben noti i principi per la rappresentazione degli spazi architettonici nelle opere artistiche, meno affrontati dalla trattatistica erano i principi per la costruzione dell’immagine delle figure umane in esse presenti. Il contributo analizza nell’ambito della trattatistica dell’epoca la sezione del volume di Abraham Bosse in cui l’autore introduce un metodo per il disegno e anche per il rilievo del corpo umano, sintetizzandolo con uno schema a nodi definito dallo stesso autore “a filo di ferro”.
Tale schema diventa il punto di partenza per costruire graficamente e con l’ausilio delle tecniche del disegno a mano libera la rappresentazione delle forme anatomiche e quindi del panneggio dell’abito indossato. L’analisi grafica a supporto della trattazione pone a confronto le dimensioni tra le parti anatomiche nei sistemi di misura del tempo ed attuali
Geometry and Urban Shape of the City of Nola through the Drawings of the De Nola by A. Leone (1514)
No full textThis paper focuses on the geometric and graphic analysis of Table III
among the four attached to the De Nola Treatise by Ambrogio Leone (1514), in
which the author studied the relationship between the shape of the ancient city
with the Renaissance one through geometric simplifications as polygonal regular
surfaces (square, hexagon and dodecagon) and circular one. These assessments
have been extensively described in Chapter II of the Treatise. Our analysis
consisted in re-reading the text in which the author describes Table III, in the
vectoral re-drawing of the table itself and in the algebraic and dimensional
evaluations according to the original measurement units. The results achieved
allowed a further verification with the shape of the contemporary city in GIS
project, estimating the accuracy of the survey of the urban perimeter carried out
by Leone, of its drawing in Table III, and of its geometric and algebraic
analyzes
La scala: prefigurazione dello spazio e rappresentazione nel piano nei disegni di Abraham Bosse
Full text linkIl contributo analizza la seconda parte del Traité des manie res de dessiner les ordres de l’architecture antique en toutes leurs parties (1664) di Abraham Bosse e il relativo apparato grafico, dedicati al progetto di corpi scala. Nello specifico, la ricerca evidenzia il ruolo del disegno tanto nel processo compositivo per la formazione della struttura spaziale quanto nella sua capacità di sintesi per la rappresentazione nel piano. Il ricorso ai principi geometrici fondativi della disciplina del disegno offre al metodo proposto un carattere non solo innovativo, ma anche universale.The paper analyzes the second part of the Traité des manie res de dessiner les ordres de l’architecture antique en toutes leurs parties (1664) by Abraham Bosse and its drawings, on staircases design. Specifically, the research highlights the role of drawing both in the design process of the spatial structure and in its ability to synthesize it on the 2D representation. The use of geometric principles for drawing offers an innovative and universal character to the proposed method
Geopolymers for Eco-Architecture. Integrated approaches for green strategies activation
No full textThe construction industry is responsible for 30% of energy consumption, 40% of CO2 emissions, and 50% of raw material extraction. Introducing actions to improve the sustainability of induced impacts is urgently necessary, and it is essential to bring about this change by using innovative materials with a natural matrix and construction processes that optimise the raw materials and allow their recyclability. The article introduces the first outcomes of an interdisciplinary research project focused on applying geopolymers for building components. The research highlights the strategic role of sustainability combined with digitisation in order to improve ecological-environmental performance
Multisensor and multiscale surveying into Pompeii’s archeological site. Three case studies
No full textWithin the wider Campus Project, this study focuses on the definition of the geometric multiscale layer, essential for the planning of the multidimensional research activities on the Pompeii area and on archaeological site, particularly. The orography between the Vesuvius and the Castellammare Gulf, and the morphological complexity of the ancient and contemporary cities of Pompeii, guided the application of remote sensing multiple sensors (photo and LIDAR), from the satellite altitude to the architectural scale. From the larger study being developed, this paper focuses on the archaeological site and critically compares the technical and scientific different phases of the integrated digital survey applied to three case studies - the Amphitheater, the Villa of the Mysteries and the Tower of Mercury - which are emblematic for construction and excavation dating, for historical and artistic importance, for material composition, for architectural morpholog
