The representation, analysis and interpretation of elements of archaeological heritage is a painstaking activity. It also includes a wide range of interdisciplinary subjects and competencies. The interrelation between different disciplines opens up the possibility to achieve complete results as far as documentation, analysis and interpretation of the Archaeological Architecture (AA) are concerned.
Architects have been involved in the task of representing archaeology and archaeological sites for many

Cultural heritage (CH) can be understood as a complexity of activities in a very wide range of disciplines

The book could be a set of examples and experiences in various fields of Cultural Heritage (Architecture,
archaeology, historical centers, small artefacts, but also frescoes, paintings, sculptures, etc.). In the
book will be also a tool to present the most advanced examples and applications of new technologies on
cultural heritage. The scientific content will concern: architectural representation (included modelling
and rendering), in its broadest sense of knowledge mean, of instrument for values understanding, of
All’interno del vasto ambito del patrimonio costruito, la città è senza dubbio uno degli elementi più
complessi. La sua mutevolezza ne determina l’importanza quale testimonianza storica e, al contempo,
la difficoltà nella sua conservazione. Riconoscendo la propria ambivalenza tra il tangibile e l’intangibile,
