Digital Reconstruction of Demolished Architectural Masterpieces, 3D Modeling, and Animation: The Case Study of Turin Horse Racing by Mollino
his chapter reviews methods and techniques of digital reconstruction of disappeared architectural masterpieces. Through the overview of theoretical positions are explored heuristic values and communicative
potentials of three-dimensional reconstruction, and prerogatives of animation in the interaction with
three-dimensional data. Different critical approaches related to the architectures remained on paper are
then brought to light. The examination of several case studies, also personally conducted, is extended
to unbuilt architectures and minor architectures subject to demolition or transformation in order to
highlight the different strategies used for the preservation of the memory of such heritage. Finally, the
case study of Turin Horse-Racing Society Building by Carlo Mollino is extensively presented through the
analysis of contemporary critical bibliography concerning the project, a description of archival sources
and illustration of methods and techniques of the digital reconstruction
