The Palladiolibrary Geo-Models: An Open 3d Archive to Manage and Visualize Information-Communication Resources About Palladio

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The paper describes objectives, methods, procedures and outcomes of the development of the digital archive of Palladio works and documentation: the PALLADIOLibrary of Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio di Vicenza (CISAAP). The core of the application consists of fifty-one reality-based 3D models usable and navigable within a system grounded on GoogleEarth. This information system, a collaboration of four universities bearers of specific skills returns a comprehensive, structured and coherent semantic interpretation of Palladian landscape through shapes realistically reconstructed from historical sources and surveys and treated for GE with Ambient Occlusion techniques, overcoming the traditional display mode.

Managing Cultural Heritage With Integrated Services Platform

“…That is the case of various solutions developed starting from the last decade leading as subsequent progression towards more advanced developments, only to mention some of the less recently developed by authors (Gaiani, 2012), e.g. Ancient Appian Way 3D Web Virtual GIS (Gaiani et al, 2001), PalladioLibrary and Andrea Palladio-3D geodatabase (AP3D) (Apollonio et al, 2013;Baldissini and Gaiani, 2014;Apollonio et al, 2015;Gaiani et al, 2015a;Beltramini and Gaiani, 2018), and Pompei 3D GIS Unified IS (Benedetti et al, 2010). Saving in time, better dissemination and sharing information were the first approach towards a more inclusive work and a change of operator's mindset, usually withdrawn into its own specific discipline.…”
