Project Description

"Isolated Palace for a Nobleman" is an utopian project by Mauro Guidi, a visionary architect from Cesena who lived between 1761-1829. His thought starts from the idea of a destroyed town that could be reconstructed entirely following an eclectic style. All his architectural and urbanistic drawings are contained into 11 atlases, articulated according to different scales and typologies of project. Specifically, the building taken into consideration is included into Paper 193 of Atlas 42. The reconstruction is developed starting from the articulation of a determined uncertainty scale of the sources. It divides all the elements componing the architecture into groups based on the level of accuracy of the informations used for the reconstruction. The highest level of accuracy is given by the original drawing of Mauro Guidi, after there are references taken by different drawings of the same author and of different authors when the original paper is not clear or accurate. Then the same thing when the original paper doesn’t give informations about the specific element. The lower level is linked to conjectures due to personal knowledge, not developed starting from sources. Into the calculation of the overall level of uncertainty, each element has been balanced in base of its volume dimension and the level to which it belongs. So big volume or high number of elements belonging to the same cathegory give a greater contribution to the result. In the case of this reconstruction the result was 3.39. To show and explain the entire process conduit have been used two different types of digital representation: the first one is a continuous mathematical method, on which is based the creation of the 3d model by the software Rhinoceros, while the second one is a discrete polygonal method, used for the grafic trasposition of the model into images. These one have been created by the software Autodesk 3D Studio Max and then organized into specific layouts by the photo editing software Adobe Photoshop. In this phase, final renders showing characterizing prospectives and geometrical drawings of the building have been overlying by 2d vector output to make more clear the geometry of the constitutive elements. The whole process of reconstruction had the aim to analyze, to decompose and to represent complexity and articulation of an architectural project. The architectural drawing is meant as a graphic language aimed at the study, analysis and production of this one, from its conception to its execution.
