Information Processes in Architectural Heritage

The role of new information management techniques in protecting and transforming historical objects, complexes and cities is growing. New tools used every day in the architect's workshop find application in this area. This work also requires a specific interdisciplinary dialogue between architects, historians, art historians, conservators, and IT specialists. A special role in the designing process is played by the study phase, consisting of collecting and properly ordering information about the historical values of the object/objects, with particular emphasis on the detailed valorization carried out for the needs of a specific design task. 

MAIN TASK

The whole purpose is to counterpoint the classic virtual reconstruction (which depicts pictorially one of the possible versions, but without making it clear in the image itself that it is a hypothesis) with a simulation, which by its very nature is hypothetical.
