Geometric programming: a programming approach to geometric design
No full textThis article presents a functional programming approach to geometric design with embedded polyhedral complexes. Its main goals are to show the expressive power of the language as well as its usefulness for geometric design. The language, named PLASM (the Programming LAnguage for Solid Modelling), introduces a very high level approach to “constructive” or “generative” modelling. Geometrical objects are generated by evaluating some suitable language expressions. Because generating expressions can be easily combined, the language also extends the standard variational geometry approach by supporting classes of geometric objects with varying topology and shape. The design language PLASM can be roughly considered as a geometry-oriented extension of a subset of the functional language FL. The language takes a dimension-independent approach to geometry representation and algorithms. In particular it implements an algebraic calculus over embedded polyhedra of any dimension. The generated objects are always geometrically consistent because the validity of geometry is guaranteed at a syntactical level. Such an approach allows one to use a representation scheme which is weaker than those usually adopted in solid modelers, thus encompassing a broader geometric domain, which contains solids, surfaces, and wire-frames, as well as higher-dimensional objects
PLASM Functional Approach to Design: Representation of Geometry
No full textPLASM (the Programming Language for Solid Modelling) is a solid-modelling-oriented design language strongly inspired by the functional language FL. In a PLASM environment, every geometrical object is generated by evaluating a suitable language expression which produces a polyhedral solid model. The language adopts a dimension-independent approach to geometry representation and algorithms. The generated objects are always geometrically consistent since the validity of geometry is guaranteed at a syntactical level. In fact (a) each well-formed expression is obtained by proper composition of well-formed subexpressions, (b) the evaluation of a well-formed (and polyhedrally typed) expression produces a valid solid model. In this paper, the representation scheme used in the language is given and some language scripts are shown and discussed
Le colombaie nel vicentino
No full textQuesto contributo, facente parte di un più ampio progetto, ha lo scopo di riportare alla giusta attenzione una pratica largamente utilizzata in gran parte del mondo da molti secoli, ma ormai spesso abbandonata: l’allevamento dei colombi nelle colombaie, manufatti appositamente concepiti e costruiti allo scopo. Questa pratica era nel passato molto diffusa anche nel Vicentino e ne restano numerose tracce materiali, le colombaie, e immateriali, come i toponimi e la tradizione culinariaThis contribution, which is part of a larger project, aims to bring to the right attention a practice widely used in most of the world for many centuries, but now often abandoned: the breeding of pigeons in dovecotes, artifacts specially conceived and built at scope. In the past, this practice was also widespread in the Vicenza area and numerous material traces remain, such as the dovecotes, and immaterial ones, such as toponyms and culinary traditio
L'amministrazione di sostegno: il modello vicentino
No full textIl volume intende proporre una prospettiva di rilettura dell’istituto dell’amministrazione di sostegno, a quattordici anni di distanza dall’entrata in vigore della legge che lo ha istituito, in buona parte inedita. Una prospettiva, più in particolare, che muove dall’analisi della prassi di applicazione dell’istituto in una realtà territoriale particolarmente significativa, quella vicentina
