Knowledge and valorization of historical sites through low-cost, gaming sensors and H-BIM models. The case study of Liternum

The paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary project related to the 3D documentation, dissemination and valorisation of archaeological sites. The project has two goals: to test a novel and economic pipeline for the acquisition of survey data, and to promote the study and appreciation of archaeological areas, among public and scientists, using the HBIM workflow. The 3D survey of archaeological sites is still an expensive and time-consuming task. In this project, a low-cost approach to 3D survey is presented and compared to a standard photogrammetry pipeline based on high-resolution photographs. The pipeline is based on a consumer-level hand-held RGB-D sensor as Microsoft Kinect. The quality of the digitized raw 3D models is evaluated by comparing them to a photogrammetry-based reconstruction and then the acquired data is elaborated in software BIM in order to create a semantically enriched model of the archaeological site. This method has been verified on the archaeological park of Liternum (Campania, Italy), a Roman forum that includes a capitolium, a theatre, a basilica and some others commercial spaces. Using a reflex camera for the photogrammetric survey, it was compared to the Kinect acquisition. In this way, we obtained a 3D model that is imported in a BIM software such as Autodesk Revit. Every element is modelled as a parametric object so the final model is enriched with additional information: geometric dimensions, material, text documents, CAAD reconstruction hypotheses, drawings, photos, etc. These methods allowed us to better understand the site, perform analyses, see interpretative processes, communicate historical information and promote the heritage location

Noir Miroir : Ambiguïtés topographiques, sociales et interactives de la musique

Les pièces d'Andrea Cera sont toujours générées par un processus d’interaction avec le contexte dans lequel elles sont présentées. Cette interaction, toutefois, n’est pas toujours lisible au premier regard. Souvent ses travaux cachent leur vrai rapport avec le lieu, et le déclarent de façon chiffrée, ou à travers l’ironie, ou l’énigme. Ce jeu invisible, fait de stratifications et déguisements sera l’objet de son intervention, articulée autour de quatre projets élaborés entre 2004 et 2005.The works of Andrea Cera are inevitably generated through a process of interaction with the context in which they are presented. Nonetheless, this interaction is not always evident at first glance. The true relationship of his works with their performance venue is often hidden, cryptically declared, or expressed through irony and enigma. Through layers of meaning and disguises, this invisible game forms the subject of this discussion, articulated around four projects completed between 2004 and 2005

A Transient Transition: The Cultural and Institutional Obstacles Impeding the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition (NIWC) in its Progression from Informal to Formal Politics

Women have traditionally occupied a perilous position in Northern Irish politics, ultimately constrained from participating on their own terms by its dominant discourses of nationalism, conflict and realism. Alienated from the formal political structures which enshrine these discourses, many women have alternatively embraced the informal political sphere through extra-institutional grassroots and community networks which constitute the women’s movement. Though this movement has largely conformed to the segmented structure of society, space has continually been harnessed for women of both national communities to converge on various issues and work across differences while remaining rooted within their own distinct national identities and communities. To the extent that it has emerged episodically, this style of transversal politics has been confined to collectives in the informal arena of politics. However, with the dawn of devolution and a new constitution for Northern Ireland, women recognized an opportunity to enter the formal political sphere and partake in the shaping of a new system. The Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition (NIWC) effected this transition into the ‘parallel universe’ of constitutional politics. However, just as the opening-up of the political structure underlies the seizure of this political space, political obstacles can account for its loss. The combined factors of inimical discourses, their institutionalization within the consociational system and the adverse political climate of polarization effectively denied the NIWC the space it required to progress and endure within formal politics, rendering its transition a transient phenomenon

El fiel ¿un personaje menor?: arrendamiento, fieldad y negocio en la Castilla del siglo XV

The goal of this paper is to make known a tax-collection system that was widely used in fifteenth-century Castile as is little known today: the fielded. Among other things, in this essay I will be presenting the fieldad as a common, unexceptional system that is an integral part of leasing (as opposed to an independent or parallel method) and describing its core role in the fiscal business.El objetivo de este trabajo es el de dar a conocer un sistema de recaudación de impuestos tan utilizado como desconocido en la Castilla del siglo XV la fieldad. Entenderlo como un régimen ordinario, y nada excepcional, concebirlo como parte integrante del arrendamiento, y no como un sistema independiente o paralelo, o situarlo como pieza clave del negocio fiscal, son algunas de las cuestiones que tratamos en él

I propose a comparison between the “classic” philosophical anthropology of the XX century and Karl Löwith’s thought, through a dialog with Joachim Fischer’s 2008 book, Philosophische Anthropologie. Eine Denkrichtung des 20. Jahrhunderts

Visual memory of the Spanish architecture in the engravings of the Modern Age

Entre los siglos XVIII y XIX asistimos al nacimiento de una historiografía de la arquitectura española, que guarda una estrecha relación –no siempre tenida en cuenta– con la existencia de un imaginario arquitectónico. La técnica del grabado constituyó una herramienta fundamental para la transmisión de imágenes y conocimiento antes de la invención y difusión de la fotografía. Esta transmisión adquiere particular importancia en el caso de la arquitectura que, por su propia naturaleza es inherente al espacio en el que se encuentra. Por este motivo en el presente artículo estudiaremos qué tipo de imágenes se fueron reproduciendo y especialmente qué edificios se decidían reproducir, para de esta forma, tratar de aproximarnos a la memoria visual de la arquitectura española durante la Edad Moderna, situada en la base de dicha historiografía.The 18th and 19th Centuries witnessed the birth of a Spanish architecture historiography that is in tight connection with the existence of an architectural imaginary –though this has not always been taken into account. The technique of engraving was an essential tool for the transmission of images and knowledge before the invention and popularization of photography. This transmission becomes particularly important in the field of architecture, which due to its nature is inherent to the space it is located in. Therefore, in this paper we will study what kind of images were reproduced, and specially which constructions were chosen to be spread, in order to get an approach to the visual memory of Spanish architecture during the Modern Age, which was at the base of the mentioned historiography
