Digital Animation for Representing Architectural Design
No full textSince the late Nineties digital movies are emerging as one of the main methods for submission of architectural designs at international competitions, public presentations and shares on websites of contemporary masters.
The chapter highlights how the ability to access the fourth dimension, through the construction of a sequence of images, constitutes a specific prerogative of digital representation, which goes beyond the static constraint imposed by conventional methods of representation.
The author investigates on the methods, techniques and languages of the fourth-dimensional communication of architecture, unexplored area of research thus far, already the subject of her previous studies, relating them with the masters’ personal poetics.
The chapter provides also analysis and critiques of the case studies collected by the author from the beginning of the phenomenon, and traces an ideal interpretation path, due both to the changing technologies and the emerging specific languages
The Citadel of Turin "in Absentia". Drawings and Reconstruction Hypotheses after Demolition
No full textThe Citadel of Turin is one of the first examples of Modern Age pentagonal fortification and model for other contemporary fortresses, mainly in Italy, France and Flanders.
The Citadel assumed a decisive role in the favorable resolution of the siege of Turin in 1706, but many years later, a series of municipal deliberations underlined its inactivity, defensive inefficiency, and character of obstacle to urban expansion; then its off-ground structures was gradually dismantled from mid-nineteenth century.
After the demolition, the interest of the scholars was particularly enlivened by works on urban history and history of the art of war.
Among the numerous features considered by scholars, this paper highlights those related to the shape and dimensions of the Citadel which, not univocally interpreted, still today present some level of uncertainty.
The author applies graphical analyses and reconstructive digital drawings to the most interesting archival drawings and scholars' reconstruction, and proposes different observations about: the irregularity of the external pentagon; the shape of the bastions, the presence of the second flank; the geometric relationship between the flank and the curtain
Reconstructive Architectural and Urban Digital Modelling
No full textThe digital reconstruction of contemporary architectural and urban complexes which were demolished, transformed or have been only theorically conceived, remaining 'on paper', is now a tool of considerable heuristic value, allowing to preserve, interpret and create new images of cultural heritages that no longer exist in their original shape or never reached a material construction.
This chapter reviews methods and techniques of digital reconstruction, through an overview of the international theoretical statements, and then the author explores the potentials of three-dimensional reconstruction and the prerogatives of animation in the interaction with three-dimensional data.
The examination of several international case studies, and also some experiences personally conducted highlights the different strategies used for the preservation of the memory of such heritage
disegnare con... DINO COPPO
No full textAlcune telefonate e diversi piacevolissimi incontri precedono e affiancano la redazione dell’intervista a Dino Coppo. Ho pensato a questa intervista come a un’occasione per ripercorrere le linee di una ricerca cinquantennale, iniziata negli anni Sessanta del secolo scorso, che ha avuto per oggetto la disciplina del Rilievo urbano. Il racconto inanella una serie di studi, esperienze, incontri, incarichi, a cui fanno da sfondo la valorizzazione dei centri storici e la trasformazione della città postindustriale. Le immagini descrivono la vivacità sperimentale e attenta alle potenzialità dei nuovi strumenti, anche digitali, di una ricerca corale che fa del Disegno il luogo della sintesi interpretativa del reale. La mia partecipazione agli ultimi vent’anni di questo studio fa assumere un particolare significato a un’intervista che diventa a poco a poco dialogo più stretto e arriva a spiegare e dimostrare come gli insegnamenti di questo lungo percorso siano più che mai attuali e possano venire declinati in nuove ricerche e nuovi indirizzi didattici che abbiano per oggetto l’analisi e l’interpretazione del fenomeno urbano.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.26.2021.dw</p
Análisis geométrico mediante tecnologías digitales de las bóvedas “a fascioni” de los palacios turineses
No full textEl barroco en Turín da como resultado unos magníficos palacios
en cuyo interior se descubren complejos sistemas de revestimientos abovedados construidos entre el último decenio del seiscientos y
el año 80 del setecientos. Los profesores Roberta Spallone, catedrática
de Geometría Descriptiva, y Marco Vitali del Politecnico di Torino,
han llevado a cabo en los últimos años una rigurosa investigación sobre
las bóvedas complejas de los atrios de estos palacios turineses. Como
resultado de esta investigación se ha constatado que existen tres tipos
fundamentales de bóvedas compuestas: “Planterianas”, denominadas
así por ser el arquitecto Gian Giacomo Plantery quien las populariza; “esteladas”, por su forma estrellada, de origen guariniano; y por último
las bóvedas denominadas “a fascioni” que podríamos traducir al español
por bóvedas formadas por arcos o por bandas y de las que trata esta
comunicación. Los dos primeros tipos han sido estudiados en profundidad por los dos profesores. El tercer tipo ha sido analizado conjuntamente por los tres autores de esta comunicación bajo la coordinación
de la profesora Roberta Spallone
Lunette Vaults in Guarini’s Work. Digital Models between Architettura Civile and Modo di Misurare le Fabriche / Volte a lunette nell’opera di Guarini. Modelli digitali fra Architettura Civile e Modo di misurare le fabriche
No full textIn Guarini’s systematization of vaulted systems based on geometric reasoning, the lunette vaults created by cutting main vaults of different geometric shape and inserting the groins take on a primary role. This operation increases the natural lighting of the rooms and ensures airiness and dynamism to atria and halls of Baroque palaces. In the Architettura Civile (published posthumous in 1737) and the Modo di misurare le fabriche (1674), he describes the geometrical origin and the measurement of the vaults, respectively. In the first treatise, the lunette vaults emerge as a typology rich of shape variations and implementations in civil buildings, in the second the surfaces of the vaults are attributed to the geometric matrices of the single elements and present some novelties with respect to the Architettura Civile, having semi-ellipses, and arcs of circumference and ellipse, as directrices. In this work the significant relationships between these two Guarini’s treatises, whose complementarity emerges in the continuous reference to the Geometry-Architecture binomial, are developed and deepened. The graphical analysis and digital modeling of surfaces allow not only the recognition of the geometric primitives underlying the structure of the vaulted systems and the verification of the measurement rules that Guarini largely attributes to himself, but also the comparison with the architectures realized in the period of the second expansion of Turin.
Nella sistematizzazione guariniana dei sistemi voltati, fondata sul ragionamento geometrico, assumono un ruolo primario le volte a lunette generate mediante il taglio di volte principali di differente conformazione geometrica e l’inserimento di unghie. Tale operazione consente di aumentare l’illuminazione naturale degli ambienti e di garantire ariosità e movimento ad atri e sale nei palazzi barocchi. Nell’Architettura Civile (postuma 1737) e nel Modo di misurare le fabriche (1674), egli illustra, rispettivamente, la genesi geometrica e la misura delle volte. Nel primo trattato, le volte a lunette emergono come tipologia feconda di variazioni formali e applicazioni negli edifici civili, nel secondo le superfici delle volte sono ridotte alle matrici geometriche delle singole componenti e presentano alcune novità rispetto all’Architettura Civile assumendo direttrici semi-ellittiche ad arco di circonferenza e di ellisse. Nel presente lavoro si esaminano e approfondiscono le importanti relazioni, nello sviluppo del tema, fra i due trattati guariniani, la cui complementarità emerge nel continuo riferimento al binomio Geometria-Architettura. L’analisi grafica e la modellazione digitale delle superfici consentono non solo il riconoscimento delle primitive geometriche sottese alla costituzione dei sistemi voltati e la verifica delle regole di misurazione che Guarini in gran parte ascrive a sé, ma anche il confronto con le architetture realizzate nel periodo del secondo ampliamento di Torino
Defensive Architecture of the Mediterranean
No full textThe original idea of FORTMED was that of bringing together researchers working on Modern Age
Fortifications of the Mediterranean at a conference, with the aim of creating an interdisciplinary
network of researchers. Indeed, the primary objective of the Conference is to exchange and share
knowledge, valorisation, management, and exploitation of Culture and Heritage that developed on the
Western Mediterranean Coast in the Modern Age, considering the dissemination of the results as a
crucial resource to achieve the objectiv
