Resumen de Between landscape and architecture: Envisioning Cappadocian Rupestrian Monastery through colorful contour lines
Fabio Colonnese, Marco Carpiceci, Carlo Inglese
Architectural heritage preservation bases on a deep, layered and interdisciplinary knowledge of the sites, especiallywhen they are on the edge between natural and artificial, like rupestrian architecture often is. Survey and representationof rock-cut architecture are between the most problematic issues for a number of problems concerning the geometricalcomplexity of the interior and exterior enveloping surfaces. Laser-scanner is an appropriate tool concerning theregistration of geometric and spatial properties of those artificial caves in continuity with the external topography, butautomatic representations are often unable to convey their hidden geometric and spatial relationships. In the context of awork methodology customized on the rupestrian habitat of Cappadocia, the authors developed an original envisioningmodel in which an associate use of contour lines and chromatic codes transforms traditional orthogonal projections afterthe numeric model into drawings able to offer a synthesis and transmit the complex forms and relationships of rupestriansettlements.
