Rappresentazione e ricostruzione virtuale dell'immagine urbana | Representation and virtual reconstruction of the urban image

The thematic session focuses on the graphic analysis of iconographic sources with an emphasis on the critical reading of the project of an “image construction” - of an architectural, urban and landscape setting. In this perspective, topography, cartography and landscape painting are the main fields of study, investigation and application for this thematic session. In particular, the graphic analysis will be studied in the cultural context which generated the image itself, in reference to the scientific foundations of representation, with the resulting critical choice of the representation, geometric and pictorial methods and techniques for the iconography. Current literature on this topic confirms how construction, as well as the resulting analysis of the initial data, give critical occasion to transfer potential communicative differences. Particular interest will be given to the graphical analysis and verification of the represented places with real ones, using innovative digital representation and image techniques of de-construction.
