The paper intends to present the results of a multidisciplinary project concerning the architectural documentation and the three-dimensional virtualization of the Ramintoja Church in Vilnius (Lithuania), conducted through morphological-metric, diagnostic and archaeological analyses. The building, which is part of a baroque complex of Augustinian origin located in the historic center of Vilnius, has gone through multiple construction phases since its probable foundation around the XIV century. The study has provided initial historical-archival research and then it has been carried out a digital survey of the building through integrated methodologies. For this purpose, TLS have been combined with SfM photogrammetric methodologies through the acquisition of images both close-range and aerial by UAV. At the same time, archaeological studies have been carried out through the stratigraphic analysis of the masonry to determine the construction techniques adopted during the various historical phases. Finally, diagnostic analyses have been carried out through the analysis of the state of the instabilities in order to identify the main construction phases and the possible restoration and consolidation interventions. As part of a Lithuanian national project of dissemination and enhancement of Heritage, and on the basis of the results of researches, were then developed reconstructive hypotheses of the church by identifying the main historical periods, and creating for each, a 3D model. These have thus become the support for the creation of an interactive virtual tour, allowing, through Oculus visors, a VR experience for the knowledge and dissemination of the historical evolution of the architectural Heritage.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.27.2021.13

The research started with a first experience developed thanks to international cooper-ation between the DIDA - Department of Architecture of the University of Florence, CNR (National Research Council) and GRADST - Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy of Split. The case study concerns the analysis of an area with-in the tourist City of Trogir which old town, UNESCO world heritage site, developed on a little island on the north-western entrance of the Castle's Bay of the Central Dalmatia (30km from Split).The first part of the collaboration has been focused on the interesting Kamerlengo's Castle, an architectural complex located at the extreme northwest of the island. The fortification was built after 1420 on pre-ex-isting fortified facilities dating from the 1380. The fortification is composed of a square plan high walls built around the main tower, an high corner tower with po-lygonal plan. The fortification along with the near Tower of San Marco is the most important part of the medieval and re-naissance fortified walls of the city. The Kamerlengo's Castle has, nowadays, the appearance and the main architectural features resulting from the intervention of the Republic of Venice done on the basis of the Pincino da Bergamo's draws by the master builder Marin Radojev. The scientific project aims to define an update picture of the structure of the cas-tle including some photogrammetric and laser-scanner survey based diagnostic con-siderations about the building. This first intervention attempts to define methodol-ogies and tools that could be subsequent-ly used to analyze the morphological, architectonical, technical and structural eatures of the whole settlement. The objec-tive of the project is the construction of an appropriate framework for the preservation and the enhancement of the UNESCO site, considering the historic, cultural and social value of the intervention area through the cooperation between the various institution involved and the highly interdisciplinary na-ture of the planned activities.

The workshop “Reading and Designing the Kyrenia Castle” is one the results of the ongoing scientific collaboration between Girne American University (Department of Interior Architecture), with the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence and the Department of Interior Architecture of Özyeğin University. The workshop took place between the 6th and the 13th of May 2018, at Girne American University, Cyprus. Therein, fifty-six students coming from the undergraduate courses of Girne American University, Özyeğin University and University of Florence, divided in small groups, worked for one week under the supervision of fifteen master and doctoral students coming from University of Florence, Özyeğin University, “Sapienza” University of Rome, and Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi from Trabzon.

Le recenti innovazioni scientifiche e gli studi delle scienze cognitive costituiscono un punto di riferimento per la ricerca artistica che, impiegando diversificate metodologie di interpretazione grafica, si apre verso nuove forme della rappresentazione. L’articolo propone alcune riflessioni sulle implicazioni del movimento in relazione allo spazio architettonico con l’obiettivo di riconoscere nella percezione del movimento, configurazioni bidimensionali che misurano lo spazio restituendo nuove informazioni e rapporti grafici: il peso, il colore, la superficie, il disegno. Recent scientific innovations and studies of cognitive science are a reference point for artistic research, which using different graphic interpretation methodologies, opens to new forms of representation. The article deals with some reflections on the implications of the movement in relation to the architectural space with the aim of recognizing in motion perception, two-dimensional configurations that measure the space giving new information and graphic ratios: weight, color, surface, and drawing.

Il lavoro si pone come obiettivo la ricostruzione congetturale del progetto dell’Eden Teatro Biondo (1912) a Palermo di Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857–1932) a partire dai disegni originari. L’edifico propone una tipologia che fonde cinematografo (al piano terra) e teatro (al piano superiore). Pensato su un fronte di Piazza Verdi, non sarà realizzato per i costi ritenuti troppo elevati dai committenti. Le scansioni dei disegni originari (conservati presso il Fondo Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo) hanno consentito la vettorializzazione piana utilizzata per l’analisi e per la modellazione 3D. Gli apparati decorativi sono stati realizzati integrando la modellazione solida e la trasformazione in normal maps di disegni a mano. I fotoinserimenti sono stati ottenuti tramite sovrapposizione di viste renderizzate sulle foto della piazza, avendo cura di far collimare la camera del modello con la fotocamera. La ricostruzione digitale ha consentito l’analisi dei temi progettuali e la visualizzazione della volumetria, dei partiti murari, degli gli spazi interni, nonché la configurazione della piazza qualora l’edificio fosse stato realizzato, rendendo visibile il rapporto che avrebbe instaurato con il prospiciente Teatro Massimo, opera del padre Giovan Battista Filippo, completata dallo stesso Ernesto. Gli studi su Ernesto Basile, ad oggi di taglio prevalentemente storico, sono numerosi. I principali sono: E. Sessa, Ernesto Basile 1857-1932, fra accademismo e "moderno", un'architettura della qualità, Palermo 2010. E. Sessa, Dall’eclettismo classicista al modernismo, Palermo 2002. E. Mauro ed E. Sessa, Giovan Battista Filippo ed Ernesto Basile. Settant'anni di Architetture, I disegni restaurati della Dotazione Basile 1859-1929, Palermo 2000. The work aims to the conjectural reconstruction of the Teatro Biondo Eden Project (1912) by Ernesto Basile in Palermo (Palermo 1857-1932) from his original drawings. The building offers a typology that combines cinema (ground floor) and theater (upstairs). Thought as a front of Piazza Verdi, it was not realized for costs deemed too high by customers. The scans of the original drawings (preserved at the Basile Fund of the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo) allowed the plain vectorization used for analysis and 3D modeling. The decorations were made by merging solid modeling and transformation into normal maps of hand drawings. The photo insertions were obtained through superposition of rendered views on the photos of the square, taking care to have the coincidence of the virtual camera with the real camera. The digital reconstruction has allowed the analysis of the research subjects and the display of the volume, of masonry parties, of the interior spaces, as well as the configuration of the square where the building had been built, making visible the relationship that it would have established with the facing Theatre Massimo, his father's Giovan Battista Filippo work, completed by the same Ernesto. The studies on Ernesto Basile, up tu now mainly of historical cutting, are numerous. The main ones are: E. Sessa, Ernesto Basile 1857-1932, fra accademismo e "moderno", un'architettura della qualità, Palermo 2010. E. Sessa, Dall’eclettismo classicista al modernismo, Palermo 2002. E. Mauro ed E. Sessa, Giovan Battista Filippo ed Ernesto Basile. Settant'anni di Architetture, I disegni restaurati della Dotazione Basile 1859-1929, Palermo 2000.

In the course of this paper the study about the three nineteenth-century railway stations of the city of Naples is presented : the Naples-Portici; the Naples-Capua and the station of the 1867 (after the unity of the country). These types of architecture, forever destroyed, are the symbol of some places that now only live in the dimension of our mind. The following paper is envolved in a broader research that has its result in the elaboation of riconfigurative hypothesis of the builings. They arrived to this outcome only after extensive research conducted in many archives in which unpublished and various documents were found. / Nel contributo viene presentata l'analisi grafica condotta sugli elaborati grafici delle tre stazioni ferroviarie ottocentesche della città di Napoli: la Napoli-Portici; la Napoli-Capua e la stazione postunitaria del 1867. Queste architetture, purtroppo distrutte, rappresentano luoghi che oggi vivono solo nella dimensione della memoria. Il lavoro, qui esposto, s’inserisce in una più ampia attività di ricerca che vede nell’elaborazione di ipotesi riconfigurative degli edifici, il suo compimento. Ad esse si è giunti solo dopo approfondite ricerche svolte presso diversi Archivi nei quali si è individuata documentazione anche inedita e di diversa natura.
