Digital restitution of architectural and urban heritage in South of France

摘要

This presentation is an overview of the work realized from 2003 to 2010 as part of a master curriculum at the School of Architecture of Marseille, France. The aim is to highlight how specialized computer tools and digital processes can approach the way architectural concepts were held in the heritage sites and projects studied. In this situation, these tools proved to be true interfaces of analysis and communication, allowing the specification and explicit numerical description of the architecture. However, data relating to architectural modeling and simulation result less of the effects than to the designing processes to which they refer, related to other disciplines specific to the architectural project studied. Numerical data representation and organization is then based on a very important work of consultation and collaboration we have tried to conceptualize in the interfaces of the websites presenting these projects. And treated these architectural examples adopt a didactic dimension promoting learning concepts and architectural knowledge. Real work of synthesis, the quality of restitution of this architectural heritage depends on how are organized, treated and linked data. Thereby this work refers to current issues in terms of multidisciplinary collaborative design, intelligent design wizards and building automation, virtual architecture, and the future impact of information technologies on the processes, procedures and architectural products.
