Virtual Reality proposes different innovative solutions for the fruition of tangible, intangible, or no longer existing Cultural Heritage. The representation architectural artifacts through virtual 3D models framed in immersive and interactive environments allows building new paths knowledge. This kind narrative feeds fruition, understanding, involvement user. article presents examples VR applied CH field, highlighting capacities, foreshadowing possible future developments specific domain....

As extended reality continues to grow, new possibilities arise provide users with novel ways experience cultural heritage (CH). In particular, applications based on virtual (VR), such as museums, have gained increasing popularity, since they can offer for preserving and presenting CH content that are not feasible in physical museums. Despite the numerous benefits, level of immersion presence provided by VR experiences still present challenges could hinder effectiveness this technology...

The contribution, part of the research project PRIN2022 INFORTREAT, proposes an updated critical reading Les Fortifications du Chevalier Antoine de Ville, 1628, specifically Livre Premier–Partie I (regular fortifications). author, A. Ville (ca. 1596-1656), enjoyed a successful career as military engineer, sharing ‘stage’ with more famous B. F. Pagan (1604-65), and succeeding first generation French architecture treatise writers. De proposed personal methodology for tracing regular...

The research was carried out in the framework of project PRIN 2022 called INFORTREAT, which aimed to create 3D information models that could make accessible constructive knowledge related military architecture scholars, professionals, and community. This paper develops previous work dealing with graphical reconstruction modelling elements shape fortification profile Trattato di Fortificatione by Guarini. author establishes measurements (maximum, average, minimum) for thickness height main...

Abstract. This paper presents the results of multidisciplinary research in which reconstructive digital modelling operates on different areas heritage and at scales to realize an analysis, interpretation, communication experience field museum valorization. It is, fact, a work that includes both philological reconstruction lost parts Buddha statue Gandhāra, dating back second century b.C. kept Museum Oriental Art (MAO) Turin, its contextualization within coeval architectural complex,...

Abstract. The present research concerns the contextualisation and presentation of eleven small statues from Tang era dated XI XII centuries CE today housed at Asian Art Museum in Turin (MAO). A multidisciplinary group with expertise art, digital representation, information processing systems, support VR@POLITO MOD Lab Arch Politecnico di Torino is involved work. goal to together several Tang-era pottery models not belonging same funerary outfit within spaces a coeval, philologically...

Abstract. This paper presents the most recent developments in a project aimed to documentation, storage and dissemination of cultural heritage. The subject are more than 70 Baroque atria Turin, recognized by critics for their particular unitary vaulted systems Our research team is currently working on digitizing documents studying ways enhance share these results through ICT. In particular, we want explore possibilities recognizing tracing three-dimensional objects augmented reality (AR)...

Abstract. For years, virtual reconstruction in the figurative arts, and sculpture, particular, has been developing consolidating. The workflow from acquisition to three-dimensional modelling integration of missing parts, optimized through processes entirely implemented digital dimension. most recent developments augmented reality technologies, together with possibility using low-cost widely available devices, have made it possible establish new links between real virtual. experiences...

Desde la fundación de Accademia del Disegno,el dibujo hermanó a las denominadas bellas artes. Era el instrumento control intelectual labor creativa común tres disciplinas: pintura, escultura y arquitectura. La pintura sólo puede recrear ilusión profundidad, pero, arquitectura se desenvuelven directamente en espacio. Esta investigación analiza los paralelismos divergencias estrategias conformación geometría espacio ambas disciplinas desde una perspectiva histórica. El análisis circunscribe no...

This contribution arises from the interest (on themes of semiotics and communication architecture, even in its deep meanings) derived studies comparisons with Renato De Fusco, Maria Luisa Scalvini, Pio Luigi Brusasco, Pier Tosoni, Alberto Borghini. A question has been confirmed: what can be meanings especially visual field? What are own contents, "other" contents? Around this subject a research team scholars Politecnico di Torino (called "Alpha Group") was constituted; which now resumed...

Abstract This paper investigates and describes the parametric reconstruction of Palladio’s villas, using his treatise, I Quattro libri dell’architettura , as primary source. The process starts with an extensive comparison rooms’ ratios, compositional rules villas’ plans, digital creation architectural elements. Finally, construction on three selected case studies 5 by 3 villas—Villa Poiana, Villa Zeno, Thiene in Cicogna—is undertaken. developed instrument offers experimental laboratory which...

Abstract. The present work focuses on the study of vaulted systems by Guarini, virtue paradigmatic role that Guarini assumes in field studies dedicated to this topic. research has been compared in-depth analysis aimed at connecting relevant data with archival drawings, historical and treatises order use digital representation heuristic terms. attempt is delineate explain, through architectural artifacts, links between theorizations, transformations reference geometric models buildings....

<span>Guarini first develops a rigorous and systematic discourse on vaulted systems. In three treatises: Architettura Civile, Euclides adauctus, Modo di misurare le fabriche, he described the geometric nature of vaults, principles geometry their practices in stereotomy, measurement vaults’ surfaces volumes, respectively. this paper, moving from previous studies, significant relationships between Civile fabriche are deepened, also light to theoretical bases established adauctus....

Abstract. Between the end of twenties and beginning World war two Turin, as most Italian cities, was endowed by fascist regime many new buildings to guarantee its visibility control territory: party main houses local ones. The style that adopted for these constructions inspired guide lines Modern movement which were spreading a generation architects Le Corbusier, Gropius, Mendelsohn. At reconverted several functions led heavy transformations not respectful original worth, other demolished....

This paper develops some consideration about the issues raised by reconstruction of 'architectures on paper' contemporary masters.Generally archival drawings are patchy and fragmented refer to different ideative moments paths inspiration that lend themselves numerous interpretative readings. Moreover it's necessary a careful analysis author's poetics significance his work. Digital methods techniques representation, ranging from 3D modeling, video producing digital fabrication, should be...
