Chapter Semantica del disegno tra evoluzione digitale e codici archetipali

The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences

SARS-CoV-2 complete genome sequencing from the Italian Campania region using a highly automated next generation sequencing system

Since the first complete genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in December 2019, more than 550,000 genomes have been submitted into the GISAID database. Sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 genome might allow identification of variants with increased contagiousness, different clinical patterns and/or different response to vaccines. A highly automated next generation sequencing (NGS)-based method might facilitate an active genomic surveillance of the virus

Ruoli della rappresentazione nei processi di analisi, codifica e valorizzazione: il Castello Giusso di Sicignano degli Alburni

This paper, part of a larger research of the Faculty of Engineering in the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO, aims to study and document - through the survey and 3D modelling as the main instruments of knowledge - the fortified architecture known as Castello Giusso and its surrounding area, with the ruins of the original patronal Church of San Matteo Apostolo ed Evangelista. The site, located in the southern Italy not far from the Cilento coast with the most knowed archeological sites of Paestum and Velia, is the original urban district of the town, at the foot of which the original village of San Matteo and Rupa grows along a path which, beyond a portal, gave acces to the area of the castle and to the patronal Church as long as existed. The ancient Church, presumably built in the XI century, housed an important reliquary of the Saint; our research is also aimed to identify the actual consistence and location of this lost heritage, that was demolished by the municipal authorities between 1925's and 1950's

Archeological Heritage in the Area of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome: Surveying and Reading Among Archetypes and Memories of the Past

This paper, part of a larger project of the Faculty of Should it be 00186Engineering of the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO (PRIN2010PEA4H8, Research Plan of National Interest, co-financed by the Italian Ministry for University Research), aims to provide documentation on the historical and archeological relevance of the Jewish Ghetto area in Rome, which is a site with numerous extraordinary features and memory traces of the past. The methodology adopted was mainly based on surveying activity—urban, architectural, and archeological—as well as the subsequent comparison of data obtained, investigating, and cataloging this tangible historical heritage and its relations with the archaeological heritage using the instruments of representation and surveying. Additionally, a different approach aimed at identifying a link between the subjective narration of the historical city and its objective description through the integration of digital methods of the cataloging and management of cultural heritage is applied

Time and space. The drawing of the space in motion.

The culture and nature of the contemporary world allows people and space to transform and “be reborn”. Every day, every moment, the person changes. Even space is constantly changing, moving over time and changing. Networks, technologies, virtuality, allow continuous and infinite visions, different in size and content. Space is represented through a succession of different realities that no longer depend on the classic notion of Time. In this way the space is defi ned in that representation that multiplies its image, preserving its identity and aura. Dynamism passes from the purely abstract and symbolic season of literary and pictorial movements to a visible physicality and real concreteness, becoming an expression of the identity of space. Thus, while the narrative plots become a necessary language to be investigated, the cinematographic sequences of cinematographic genre take on a relevance that goes far beyond mere representation, responding to the need to read and see all the possible realities. The moving image broadens the vision of physical space because the senses also perceive the characteristics and aesthetic and functional qualities that space is able to assume and transform over time. Every single frame detects and documents the actions of space and time. This work is a study on the design of space in movement through the notions of time and space. Here are presented some researches carried out on the representation of the space in motion, with the aim of investigating the possibilities of representing the space perceived and experienced by man. Every single frame detects and documents the actions of space and time that determine the mutations and transformations of the urban landscape.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.22.2019.15</p

Strategie difensive nelle architetture rurali: il caso di torre Ranieri a Napoli

This paper, part of a largest research about the so-called "minor fortified architectures", focus the dynamics related to the development and transformative processes of some rural architectures in defensive structures or in the reverse way. The rural settlements have also evolved, over the time, in defensive structures of the territories; the need for security, often implemented by the evolution of isolated rural settlements in an urban area, has caused the development of fortification strategies; in this way, the original farms has been transformed into very heterogeneous types of fortified architecture. A different evolutive dynamism, caused by inverse social conditions, has left some interesting examples of evolution from a defensive architecture to a rural architecture; this is the case of the so-called Torre Ranieri, in the city of Naples, Italy. The methodological approach of this research is mainly identified in the integration of the scientific knowledge about the so-called "minor fortified architectures", deepened through the representation instruments; it also aims to offer new elements of analysis about the evolution of the territories, through the critical reading of this particular architectural heritage
