Representation Techniques
The Lequeu’s Temple instead is designed with a perfect convergence of those rays
towards the centre of the sphere, as the most part of modern planetarian, but it is also
more visual than scientific in character. 3D virtual models, and simple conical projections,
have allowed us to draw the star maps referred to Boullèe and Lequeu’s architectures
which, however, show deep differences compared with the contemporary ones.

Abstract:
The digital simulation process has actively joined the representation phase of projects,
becoming an integral and essential part for the complete understanding of an
architectural object.
It is interesting to notice how the CGI – Computer Generated Imagery –, which is the
process of producing images with the help of specialized software, does not deviate much
from the production stages involved in the film making industry. This argument is
supported by the fact that currently the major international film productions share much
information with the digital world since generated almost entirely in virtual space and
whose vision on screen is permitted only through the use of appropriate eyewear, which
restore the sharpness of the objects that appear to float in real space.
Moreover, to support this thesis, it is proposed in this article that the work carried out and
developed on the Church of San Francesco of Padua, whose purpose is the study of the
surfaces that form the vaulting system.
