Putting the Urban Poor on the Map
"This publication presents a methodology for participative informal settlement upgrading with the support of information technology, the result of research and development activities carried out by UNCHS (Habitat) and a group of partners. Examining a number of experiences in the field, and through direct support to specific tool development activities, Habitat aims to consolidate a wealth of practical and field experiences into a methodological framework. The methodology refers to the project preparation phase, including community involvement protocols, and the information management system related to it. This methodology should be seen as a practical reference framework for programme managers and officials involved in designing and managing settlement upgrading projects and should assist policy makers and external support agencies in policy formulation and resource allocation. It will also provide a technical background to the Global Campaigns for Secure Tenure and for Good Urban Governance that UNCHS (Habitat) is launching in the year 2000"--p. 3.

Digital Wood Design
This book explores various digital representation strategies that could change the future of wooden architectures by blending tradition and innovation. Composed of 61 chapters, written by 153 authors hailing from 5 continents, 24 countries and 69 research centers, it addresses advanced digital modeling, with a particular focus on solutions involving generative models and dynamic value, inherent to the relation between knowing how to draw and how to build. Thanks to the potential of computing, areas like parametric design and digital manufacturing are opening exciting new avenues for the future of construction. The book’s chapters are divided into five sections that connect digital wood design to integrated approaches and generative design; to model synthesis and morphological comprehension; to lessons learned from nature and material explorations; to constructive wisdom and implementation-related challenges; and to parametric transfigurations and morphological optimizations.
Slum Upgrading and Participation
The UN currently estimates that there are about 837 million urban slum dwellers worldwide, and this figure is likely to rise to 1.5 billion by 2020 if current trends are not reversed. This book offers five geographically and institutionally diverse case studies from Latin America, where some of the longest-running and most successful programmes in this field have been conducted. These programmes, involving a wide variety of funding arrangements and agencies, demonstrate the positive impact that community participation and people-oriented service solutions can have on slum upgrading efforts in low income urban areas.
Handbook of Research on Emerging Digital Tools for Architectural Surveying, Modeling, and Representation
Technological revolutions have changed the field of architecture exponentially. The advent of new technologies and digital tools will continue to advance the work of architects globally, aiding in architectural design, planning, implementation, and restoration. The Handbook of Research on Emerging Digital Tools for Architectural Surveying, Modeling, and Representation presents expansive coverage on the latest trends and digital solutions being applied to architectural heritage. Spanning two volumes of research-based content, this publication is an all-encompassing reference source for scholars, IT professionals, engineers, architects, and business managers interested in current methodologies, concepts, and instruments being used in the field of architecture.
International Journal for Digital Art History: Issue 3, 2018
Art History is centrally concerned with a vast array of three-dimensional objects, such as sculptures, and spaces, such as architecture. Digital technologies allow the creation of virtual spaces, which in turn allow us to simulate and compare aspects of a visual culture's three-dimensional timespace that cannot be communicated as a single, still image. The third issue, thus, focusses on the third dimension in Art History, and the digital realm that continues to mediate and transform it.
Sistemi Informativi Integrati per la tutela, la conservazione e la valorizzazione del Patrimonio Architettonico Urbano
Il Novecento ci ha consegnato una interessante evoluzione del concetto stesso di bene culturale architettonico e urbano, dalla identificazione selettiva del monumento alla contestualizzazione del monumento, alla monumentalizzazione del contesto (ambiente naturale, manufatti storici, stratificazione storica degli usi antropici del territorio). Tale evoluzione ha arricchito e dilatato in misura significativa il campo di interesse in ordine alle azioni di tutela, conservazione e valorizzazione dei beni. Il progetto di conservazione del bene storico-architettonico, nella accezione attuale, si pone in alternativa all'intervento (straordinario) di restauro classicamente inteso, riferendosi, second...
Modelli complessi per il patrimonio architettonico-urbano
Nell'ambito del sistema MIUR PRIN si è portato avanti con continuità e consequenzialità, per due bienni consecutivi, un interessante percorso di ricerca con il medesimo gruppo di lavoro. Percorso aperto con il tema “Sistemi informativi integrati per la conservazione e la valorizzazione del patrimonio architettonico e urbano” e concluso con “Modelli complessi per il patrimonio architettonico-urbano”. È evidente la connessione tra le due tematiche con il costante riferimento al patrimonio architettonico e urbano, prodotto attuale del processo storico di formazione e trasformazione della città storica, con l'obiettivo strategico della sua conservazione e valorizzazione. In particol...
