Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyse some architectures designed by Le Corbusier and to visualize them with advanced technologies in order to explain better the singularity of their geometry and form. In particular we studied the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion and the Cabanon in Cap Martin. Both cases were developed with different systems of communication. The first one – the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion – is based on a protocol of dynamic real-time navigation, similar to the interaction we have using video games; for the second one we have used a static anamorphic anaglyph, which can be seen with the well-known glasses having two different red-blue lens, for the stereoscopic visualization [1]. All of them have requested different softwares and procedures which are described into the paper. The aim is to define some possible uses of these technologies to be applied for exhibitions and culture dissemination of architectural heritage.

Acknowledgments

The research was funded by the National Research Fund Prin 2010-11, titled “Architectural Perspectives: digital preservation, content access and analytics” (national director Riccardo Migliari, Sapienza University of Rome, local coordinator for University of Udine, Roberto Ranon) and by the F.R.A. 2013 fund of the University of Trieste (coordinator Alberto Sdegno) titled “Augmented architecture”. It was developed among three universities: the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Trieste (Alberto Sdegno) for the general coordination of the different aspects of the experiments; the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (http://hcilab.uniud.it/) of the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics of the University of Udine (Roberto Ranon); the Departmnet of Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Pedro-Manuel Cabezos Bernal), with the collaboration of PhD students Silvia Masserano and Paola Cochelli. In detail chapter 1 and 4 are by A. Sdegno, chapter 2 by R. Ranon and P. Cochelli, chapter 3 by P.-M. Cabezos Bernal and S. Masserano.
