In partnership with ICCROM and the Musei Statali of Rome, Prof. Paolo Vitti, Associate Professor of the Practice in the School of Architecture and faculty member of the Michael Christopher Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience and Sustainability, will lead a 10 day workshop at the Mausoleum of Hadrian/Castel Sant'Angelo this month to introduce professionals in the field of preservation from India, Bangladesh, Cina, Saudia Arabia, US, Romania and Bulgaria to the methodologies of an integrated approach of digital and hand drawings, as well as the development of the capacity to interpret layered construction.
The workshop will consist of on-site application of digital survey technologies to produce digital drawings which will be used for on-site hand drawings. Drawings produced will highlight materials, building techniques and building phases, and will seek to relate single parts of the construction to the whole. Specific solutions adopted by the builders will be framed within the context of the wider understanding of the most unique symbol of Rome: the Mausoleum of Hadrian/Castel Sant'Angelo.
In addition to on-site surveys of the Mausoleum of Hadrian, the workshop will also include introductory lectures on documentation, interpretation, and digital documentation among others- given by University of Notre Dame School of Architecture faculty Paolo Vitti and Lorenzo Fei, Università Roma Tre professors Mauro Saccone and Giovanna Spadafora, Prof. Laura Pecchioli (Humboldt University and TU Wien) and Arch Dario Di Girolamo (conservation architect and founder of Duplicart srls).
The workshop will culminate in a presentation of the documentation collected during on-site surveys in late June.
This is a closed event.
