VIDEOS AUTOEXPLICATIVOS PARA EL MUSEO EGIPCIO DE TURÍN

[EN] In the present project for the setting of the new Museo Egizio of Turin the “cultural message” has been charged to make a few specific 3D computer graphic (CG) movies, and aims to introduce the topics dealt with the rooms dedicated to queen Nefertari, the chapel of the painter Maia and the tomb of Kha, respectively. In these movies, the passivity of viewing is counteracted with an emotional approach that involves the visitor within an informative path where, despite of the inactive kind of interaction, the viewer is somehow involved in the events because he or she is emotionally invested in them. Thanks to this passive and “self-explaining” approach, the visitor will be enabled to understand the relations between different objects, some of which are not directly visible. Moreover, the visitor will be able to virtually insert the tombs within their original context and above all will have the possibility to visit them as they appeared at the moment of their discovery. This has been made possible thanks the use of integrated technologies of representation, able to enhance the virtualization process to a verisimilar level allowing a hyper-realistic and “participative” vision. The high level of realism of the virtual reconstruction, the visual effects and the cinematographic representation, with added emotions to the scientific contents, positively contribute to the “dreamlike displacement” of the visitor between the real and the virtual dimensions.[ES] En este proyecto para la construcción del nuevo Museo Egipcio de Turín el mensaje cultural fue dado a tres películas específicas en gráficos 3D, destinados a la introducción de los temas tratados en las salas dedicadas a la reina Nefertari, la capilla del pintor Maia y la tumba de Kha. En estas películas, la pasividad de la visión se ve compensado por un enfoque emocional que implica el visitante en un trayecto de información en el que, a pesar de la falta de actividad de disfrute, él es en realidad participante, porque emocionalmente involucrado. Gracias a este método, pasivo y “autoexplicativa” el visitante puede comprender las relaciones entre diferentes objetos, algunos no directamente visibles, como la momia de Kha y su esposa Merit, a ser posible reconstruir las tumbas en su contexto original, pero sobre todo la posibilidad de visitar, gracias a las técnicas de la arqueología virtuales, tales contextos como aparecieron en el momento de su descubrimiento. Todo esto es posible gracias a la utilización de tecnologías integradas para el estudio y la representación, capaz de llevar el proceso de virtualización a un grado de verosimilitud hiperrealista y “participativa”. El alto grado de realismo de las reconstrucciones virtuales, efectos visuales y técnicas de representación cinematográfica, añadiendo emoción al contenido científico, contribuyen positivamente a la “pérdida” del visitante entre el real y el tamaño dimensión virtual.Gabellone, F.; Ferrari, I.; Giuri, F.; Chiffi, M.

Studio ricostruttivo di una casa messapica in località Cunella a Muro Leccese

ItQuesto studio ricostruttivo è il risultato finale di una tesi di laurea in Beni Culturali, condotta sotto la supervisione scientifica di L. Giardino (UNILE). L’elaborazione di modelli costruttivi della casa in ambito messapico trova diversi precedenti in studi autorevoli. Tuttavia questa proposta nasce in risposta alla successione stratigrafica del sito in località Cunella a Muro Leccese, che permette di formulare una singolare soluzione costruttiva, ben documentata in ogni parte del mondo e forse applicabile in molti altri contesti antichi di età messapica. Quello che emerge da questa ricostruzione è il riconoscimento di una logica funzionale che si ritrova usata anche oggi in molte architetture rurali.EnThis study reconstructive is the final result of a thesis in Cultural Heritage, conducted under the scientific supervision of L. Giardino (UNILE). The development of constructive models of messapian houses (actual Salento region) is caddied out in several studies. However, this proposal starts according to the stratigraphic sequence of the site located in Muro Leccese (Cunella locality), which allows us to formulate a singular constructive solution, well documented in every part of the world and perhaps applicable in many other messapian contexts. What emerges from this reconstruction is the recognition of a functional logic that can be found even today in many rural architecture

What Future for the Skyscraper? A Sustainable Recovery of Rai Building

The aim of this work is to analyse the recovery methods and strategies of a high-rise steel building, an approach to restoration of the modern that may not always be based on specific standards and pre-established procedures. In the present case, the report raises the topic of the recovery of a structure from the 1960s, a symbol of International Style and Rationalism, commissioned by the State TV and built on the project by Domenico Morelli: the RAI skyscraper in Turin. Since this is a unique work in its design and architectural choices, the approach to a possible recovery begins with a detailed knowledge of the structure, through the analysis of documents, testimonies of the time and the architect’s concept. Subsequently, the analysis of the current state of the structure, focuses on the presence of asbestos and methods of remediation of this harmful material. In harmony with the architectural sign, we propose a technological, regulatory and sustainable adaptation, through solutions that concern the materials, services and areas of the skyscraper, moving from a global vision to a meticulous focus on details. The final proposal involves the skyscraper’s application for LEED certification, issued to buildings with low environmental impact
