Quantification and Visualization of a Heritage Conservation in a Quito Neighbourhood (Ecuador)

摘要

This paper focuses on the process of quantification and visualization of a heritage conservation study in a neighbourhood of Quito (Ecuador). The first part of the paper consists of collecting real information about different features of every building in the urban network of the mentioned neighbourhood. The information collected is then quantified by means of a data matrix that allows us to obtain an indicator of the heritage conservation of every parcel studied. In order to better understand the preservation of the neighbourhood, an analysis and visualization of the obtained indicators is carried out. The visualization is based on a non-linear interpolation of the vertices of a grid using a chromatic scale. This type of visualization provides a smooth graphic that helps us to represent areas that are more or less interesting from the point of view of the heritage conservation state.
