Il contributo della Rappresentazione nel Building Information Modeling (BIM) per la gestione del costruito

Nel campo dell’Architettura e dell’edilizia il Building Information Modeling (BIM) è ormai un riferimento fondamentale per le nuove costruzioni laddove la standardizzazione costituisca la caratteristica tipica del progetto. Diversamente, l’approccio introdotto dal BIM non risulta ancora del tutto adeguato per l’edilizia esistente e per i manufatti storici. E’ indubbio che la produzione dell’Architettura, intesa come gestione dell’intero processo edilizio, richieda standardizzazione per una maggiore economia, ma questo sforzo risulta estremamente complesso quando ad essa si contrapponga l’unicità del manufatto come valore primario e vincolo di progetto. Il presente articolo si prefigge di definire le principali criticità del BIM in relazione al patrimonio architettonico storico esistente tentando di definire le implicazioni nel settore della rappresentazione

Mediated representations after laser scanning. The Monastery of Aynalı and the architectural role of red pictograms

The decorations in the church and the main rooms follow the red monochrome type, quite common in this area. This monochrome pictograms show a predominant geometric character and are generally used to describe and highlight the rock-cut surfaces according to those elements which play the figurative role of “architectural constituents" such as columns, pilasters, capitals, architraves and cornices. This kind of depicted decorations have been connected to some sort of apotropaic process of sanctification which was imposed by the need of using those spaces as soon as possible, delaying later the moment of the realisation of the final decoration

BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE: ENVISIONING CAPPADOCIAN RUPESTRIAN MONASTERY THROUGH COLORFUL CONTOUR LINES

[EN] Architectural heritage preservation bases on a deep, layered and interdisciplinary knowledge of the sites, especiallywhen they are on the edge between natural and artificial, like rupestrian architecture often is. Survey and representation of rock-cut architecture are between the most problematic issues for a number of problems concerning the geometrical complexity of the interior and exterior enveloping surfaces. Laser-scanner is an appropriate tool concerning the registration of geometric and spatial properties of those artificial caves in continuity with the external topography, but automatic representations are often unable to convey their hidden geometric and spatial relationships. In the context of a work methodology customized on the rupestrian habitat of Cappadocia, the authors developed an original envisioning model in which an associate use of contour lines and chromatic codes transforms traditional orthogonal projections after the numeric model into drawings able to offer a synthesis and transmit the complex forms and relationships of rupestrian settlements.Colonnese, F.; Carpiceci, M.; Inglese, C.

Quality vs Quantity: Advantages and Disadvantages of Image-Based Modeling

In the last few years, survey has changed radically thanks to progress in the field of 3D, massive data acquisition methods. The scientific debate focuses on the control over data quality by comparing Structure from Motion acquisition methods with consolidated methods. Collecting and interpreting a large amount of information helps us deeply understand our cultural heritage. This system of knowledge that we create has to achieve a dual objective: to document heterogeneous data with guaranteed repeatability and to ensure data quality during data capture and model processing. This information includes cultural resource data: dimension, information on construction, material characteristics, color; etc. The case study, the Abbey of Santa Maria della Matina, focuses on the shift from quantitative data, acquired in a semi-automatic manner, to qualitative data, controlled under uncertainty. In this framework, all branches of the “Science of Representation” ensure metric, spatial, and formal control of the built models

Il duomo di Orvieto. Rilievo integrato e modellazione

L’articolo presenta i risultati di uno studio condotto sul duomo di Orvieto attraverso la creazione di modelli realizzati a partire da processi di Structure from Motion, attraverso modellazione parametrica poligonale. I risultati presentati, oltre che analizzare le differenti metodologie di modellazione impiegate, giungono ad una ricostruzione diacronica della fabbrica del duomo, con particolare attenzione agli elementi materici e agli apparati decorativi di una delle cappelle laterali.The article presents the results of a study conducted on the Orvieto cathedral through the creation of models created from structure from motion processes, using parametric polygonal models. The results presented, analyzing the different modeling methodologies used, come to a diachronic reconstruction of the duomo, with particular attention to the material and decorative elements of one of the side chapels

Geometry as Matrix of Construction of Roman Stone Bridges: The Augustus Bridge at Narni

The study of ancient Roman bridges embraces various disciplines and professions: engineers, architects, historians, archaeologists, and geologists. One of the first experiments completed by this research group was conducted on the Augustus Bridge at Narni: an integrated digital survey followed by the application of 3D digital modelling. Although only one of its four arches has been preserved, it can still be seen that the bridge was conceived on a large scale of technical complexity based on a precise knowledge that guided the choice of materials and architectonic solutions. The structure is immersed in an enchanting green landscape, which has for centuries attracted numerous scholars and artists. They have left us a precious iconographic heritage whose interpretation is still debated. As far as the geometry and proportions of the construction are concerned, to compare its present state with the original one, the structural ashlars of the bridge were modelled parametrically on the basis of transforming elementary geometric elements having adopted the Roman foot as the unit of measure

Tradition and Innovation: From Worksite Plans to Digital Models

The study and analysis of archaeological elements often ranges from very large sites to small objects. This difference in size and type is also present during survey and representation. This idea sparked the proposed study of worksite plans that constitute the only firm link between historical architecture and its representation. The objective is to develop a new interpretation of worksite plans merging massive acquisition technologies with digital representation. The topic is associated with studies on the origins of architectural drawing based on the interdisciplinary union between architecture and archaeology. The objective is to critically interpret worksite plans in order to establish and classify a study methodology. Based on these premises, we examined the key relationship between the metric/formal construction of a 2D drawing (plan) with a 3D model (ideal model). The study is part of the now consolidated drawing/survey/design process which is based on objective/real drawings and leads to a 3D/ideal mode

Conveying Cappadocia. A new representation model for rock-cave architecture by contour lines and chromatic codes

[EN] Architectural heritage preservation is based on an in-depth, multi-layered and interdisciplinary knowledge of the cultural heritage sites, especially when they are a combination between natural and artificial, such as rupestrian (cave) architecture often is. Survey and representation of rock-cut architecture is one of the most problematic issues for a number of problems concerning the geometrical complexity of the interior and exterior enveloping surfaces. Laserscanner is an appropriate tool concerning the registration of geometric and spatial properties of artificial caves in continuity with the external topography, but automatic representations are often unable to convey their hidden geometric and spatial relationships. In the context of a work methodology customized on the rupestrian habitat of Cappadocia (Turkey), the authors developed an original envisioning model in which an associate use of contour lines and chromatic codes transforms traditional orthogonal projections after the numeric model into drawings able to offer a synthesis and transmit the complex forms and relationships of rupestrian settlements.Colonnese, F.; Carpiceci, M.; Inglese, C.
