Rereading to Rewrite: Documentation and Requalification of Mediterranean Historical Centers, Jerusalem and Taranto Case

The contribution concerns the possibilities of utilization of the digital technologies focused on the documentation of the historical centers. The aim of the project is to evaluate the conservation status of the Heritage and the possibilities and opportunities of valorization and requalification of the historical urban core through projects that show a high level of compatibility with the environment. In relation to these methodologies grows the need to take the inhabitants back to live again the historical center creating spots of complete requalification through the instruments of the architecture. The reading of the places in complete or partial decay and abandon status wants, hence, to get the basis for the preservation of them through precise interventions so that they can create significant synergies in which the inhabitants – through the architecture and their life – come back to inhabit that is to live again those places that, otherwise, time would take away letting forget and lose to the world extraordinary parties of landscape.

The Digital Documentation of the Florentine Complex of Santa Maria Maddalena De’ Pazzi

The theme of the Documentation for the Conservation of Architectural Heritage is more current than ever on the international scene. The text speaks of the documentation project of the religious complex of Santa Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi, located in the historic center of Florence; this is a subject on which to test protocols for making reliable digital three-dimensional surveys, with laser scanners and S.f.M. technologies, which could be used as a basis on which to return the necessary analysis to the preservation and restoration of the monument. Towards the hypothesis of an integrated survey the intent is to define methods of management and use of models in order to obtain processed two-dimensional useful to the preservation of architectural heritage.
