DRAWING
The research underway in the scientific-disciplinary group “ICAR 17
– Drawing” at the DICATeA, is characterized by joint testing of methods
and techniques of research and traditional and digital representation by
the use of software and specific information systems.
In particular, the research is articulated in the study of the structuring
of urban image along the major urban and suburban streets and survey
and representation, through different techniques, systems and infrastructure
architectural complex in Parma. The research combines historical
iconographical archive research, direct measurements and methods
and tools for acquiring advanced technologies and three-dimensional
digital representation.
The research is developed mainly in the areas of urban and environmental
significance and importance of architecture, in which, starting from
dimensional geometric data of the architectural and urban elements,
(buildings, pathways, spaces Urban), through a representation of them
in the appropriate scale of reduction, territorial, urban and architectural
design, trying to capture and highlight the formal aspects and volumetric
features.
This research contributes to the definition of methodological procedures
for the monitoring of the city and the environment, in order to build a
system of control over the actions of environmental regeneration, urban
and architectural design, through the identification of a structure relationship
that could set up as a system suitable to the management of processes
at different scales of intervention, taking advantage of the survey
and representation as the basic operational tools that set the subsequent
management of data.
A series of national and international research projects on these issues
has been undertaken. These projects include:
- The importance of the amphitheater Durrës: knowledge of a monument
for the enhancement of world cultural heritage
- Analysis and diagnosis of damaged structures of the Citadel of Damascus
- The definition of a GIS for the identification, knowledge and study of
places abandoned and containers available in the city of Parma
- Training of the Information System (SIPESC) for the management of
municipal school buildings
- Architectural surveys and assessments on the state and the degradation
of the church of Santa Maria del Quartiere in Parma
- Preliminary analysis and identification of guidelines for the implementation
of a plan for the development of commercial natural center
(CCN) in Oltretorrente and in the Old Town.
