This research inputs into the contemporary national and international debate regarding the digital archives of architectural drawings. The proposed goal is to use current dynamic and interactive fruition modes to conserve and transmit crucial data required to understand and disseminate architectural culture to future generations.
The objective is to develop a `Pilot Project¿ with which to create a shareable, implementable and interoperable platform that will make it possible to dynamically and simultaneously exploit the extensive data in architectural drawings archives and allow interaction with other internal and external resources.
The Drawings Archive of the DSDRA Department of Sapienza University contains over 80,000 drawings; the intent is to make a consultable digital space available to the scientific community at large and to the general public involved or interested in the world of architecture and culture. Based on the original drawings, this space will provide contemporary critiques and interpretations focusing on the history, representation, and restoration of architecture.
The conservation and transmission of the unique culture of Sapienza University ¿ didactic and research activities - is yet another objective. Indeed, the documentation in the archive represents a priceless historical heritage, both tangible and intangible, of the expertise, methods, knowledge and cultural environment of the life of our School.
The project intends to develop a portal that will contain, systemise, transmit, and share not only all the documents, but also all the information and products produced by this research. The portal will have an interactive map with georeferenced 1D, 2D and 3D models, cartographic material, photographs, drawings, texts, taggable three-dimensional models, videos, and interactive materials that users can use to interact directly with the heritage in question.
