This paper presents the analysis of the sixteenth-century city of Nola through the comparative study of four drawings attached in De Nola treatise by Ambrogio Leone (1514), also in comparison with the contemporary city.These drawings are an important graphic-documentary testimony of the city as they not only represent the morphology of the places at the time of their elaboration but also for the methods and techniques used for their execution, therefore offering themselves to considerable evaluations, some of which are collected in this paper. Starting from graphic and geometric analyzes and metric estimates of the drawings in the Treatise, this research makes use of the methodological approaches of the science of Drawing not only for their critical reinterpretation but also to connect the Renaissance city to traces still existing in the contemporary city.The comparison with the contemporary city is not only aimed at identifying the permanence in the road network but also at some considerations on the representations of Nola by Leone.The drawings, in fact, are different not only for the spatial context represented in them, but also for the methods of representation adopted, sometimes to simulate the three-dimensionality of the orographic reality, in other cases to offer a visual verisimilitude to the architectures and city walls to demonstrate a general control of the designer on the image of the scene represented.

This research work into Evolutionary Computing field aims at improving a dataset of algorithmic gen-erative definitions able to return an optimized ‘semi–ideal’ curve that best fits a generic reality–based profile, starting from some of its points. This paper shows GAs_Genetic Algorithms applications especially with regards to study, interpretation and definition of generic polycentric curves. Current VPL tools (Galapagos–Rhino, McNeel) allow to test Evolutionary Theories for problem solving and decision makingin architectural research field. According to a human driven approach, an operator defines GENOME, FUNCTION and FITNESS to drive the Evolutionary Solver towards optimized solutions. Some case studies from Historical/Existent Architectural Heritage are used to show how GAs can simplify the digitalization process and big data interpretation.

Gli studi condotti sull’antica città di Nola anche nella comparazione con il territorio urbano contem- poraneo sono illustrati nel presente paper attraverso una ricerca condotta su dueTavole tra le quat- tro allegate al De Nola di Ambrogio Leone (1514). L’apparato grafico del trattato è un’importante testimonianza documentale delle permanenze della città antica in età rinascimentale nonché delle conoscenze teorico-geometriche dello stesso Leone e che qui saranno discusse. L’analisi prende avvio da alcuni studi grafici condotti sulla Tavola II intitolata Nola Vetus e ne declina gli aspetti geometrico-dimensionali, fondando tanto la sua rilettura che l’analisi delle tracce tuttora pre- senti alla scienza del Disegno. La presente ricerca, unitamente ai contributi di Argenziano e Avella in tale volume e in continuità con lo studio già presentato al Convegno UID 2020, consolida il carattere poliedrico dell’autore quale disegnatore, topografo e tipografo, oltre quelle note di erudito umanista.

This paper investigates the ephemeral architecture of the eighteenth century in Naples through the literary and iconographic sources found in the volume Idee per le pubbliche feste nel ritorno in Napoli de’nostri Augusti Sovrani dalla Germania […] by Gaetano Barba (1971). The goal is an unprecedented representation, modeling and fruition project, accompanied by a graphic visualization of the places to better understand the architectural and urban space in the absence of allusive images of three–dimensionality. Subsequently, the visual construction of the contexts on an urban and architectural scale made it possible to disseminate the compositional elements of the celebrations and the internal perceptions to a non–specialist public. Finally, an Augmented–Reality application prototype.

[ES] El levante español y el sur de Italia volvieron a compartir una relación política a partir del siglo XIII tras la mantenida durante siglos dentro del Imperio Romano. Las tradiciones y técnicas constructivas compartidas, así como los condicionantes climáticos y geográficos conformaron un modelo de actuación sobre las fortalezas rurales y urbanas surgidas de las invasiones normanda y musulmana. En esta comunicación se estudian varios ejemplos, tanto españoles como italianos, que confirman un planteamiento similar en las intervenciones de ampliación y mejora de estos castillos y torres para su adecuación a las necesidades del momento o su transformación en residencias nobiliarias o reales., [EN] The Spanish East and southern Italy recovered their political relationship from the 13th century onwards after the one they maintained for centuries within the Roman Empire. Shared constructive traditions and techniques, as well as climate and geographical conditions gave shape to a way of transforming the rural and urban fortresses arising from the Norman and Islamic invasions. This paper explores several examples, both Spanish and Italian, which confirm a similar approach in the interventions of expansion and improvement of these castles and towers for their adaptation to the needs of the time or the transformation into noble or royal residences.

Sebbene molto spesso le persone con disabilità debbano accontentarsi di vivere parzialmente alcune esperienze, da diversi anni è aumentata l’attenzione dei siti museali verso la realizzazione di progetti e percorsi dedicati che consentano una fruizione tattile di opere e manufatti ai disabili visivi. Il contributo presenta due casi studio, che utilizzano modelli 3D per installazioni tattili. In presenza di deficit visivo, è importante rafforzare le facoltà percettive connettendo il tatto con i sensi residui e fornendo stimoli cognitivi diversi e paralleli. L’approccio multisensoriale, tattile e uditivo, realizzato grazie alla commistione tra modelli 3D e componenti elettroniche, favorisce la capacità di astrazione e percezione, consente di fruire della riproduzione in una condizione in cui non può essere fruita l’opera originale e rende comprensibile il processo rappresentativo. Rappresentare è comunicare la conoscenza che si esplora con l’esperienza multisensoriale. Although very often people with disabilities have to be content with partially experiencing, for several years the attention of museum sites has increased towards the creation of projects and dedicated itineraries that allow tactile use of works and artifacts for the visually impaired. The paper presents two case studies, which use 3D models for tactile installations. In presence of visual impairment, it is important to strengthen the perceptive faculties by connecting the touch with the residual senses and providing different and parallel cognitive stimuli. The multisensory, tactile and auditory approach, created thanks to the mixture of 3D models and electronic components, favours the ability to abstraction and perception, allows to enjoy reproduction in a condition in which the original work cannot be enjoyed and makes the representative process understandable. Representation is communication of knowledge that is explored with multisensory experience.
