Multidisciplinary experiences of virtual heritage for the documentation of architecture and archaeology within the DigitCH Group - Digital Cultural Heritage Group

Il prodotto si inserisce nel filone di ricerca sul Digital Cultural Heritage-DCH ed è uno degli esiti più evidenti i cui risultati sono stati presentati in occasione del Convegno Euromed 2018, frequentato da circa 200 studiosi (21 full papers, 47 project papers, 29 short papers revisionati e selezionati su 537 submissions). I principali caratteri di originalità ed innovatività consistono nella presentazione sistematizzata di una serie di ricerche condotte nell’arco di dieci anni (2007-2017) con progettazione strategica, metodologica e strumentale unitarie oggi raggruppate e note come DCH ma di frontiera al momento della loro impostazione presso il gruppo di lavoro condotto dall’autore; i contenuti sono descritti con l’appropriata metodologia disciplinare relativa al rilievo digitale nelle sue articolazione di acquisizione, elaborazione, comunicazione del dato. L’impatto è coerente con la collocazione editoriale, di tipo internazionale. The publication is part of the framework of the research on Digital Cultural Heritage-DCH. The paper is one of the most evident output whose results have been presented in the conference Euromed 2018, attended by about 200 researchers (proceedings consistent of 21 full papers, 47 project papers, and 29 short papers reviewed and selected from 537 submissions). The main characters of originality and innovativeness consist in the systematized presentation of a series of researches conducted over 10 years (2007-2017) with unitary strategic, methodological and instrumental planning, today grouped and known as DCH but innovative at the time of their setting up by the author’s group of work; the contents are described with the appropriate disciplinary methodology relating to the digital survey in its articulation of acquisition, processing, communication of the data. The impact is consistent with the high international editorial rating. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Here we address the roadmap of the Digital Cultural Heritage research group DigitCH group, which was set up in 2013 at the Department of Architecture, University of Florence. The aim of DigitCH group was to realize the link between scientifically validated methodologies and contents, innovative storytelling, and technological instrumentation. The spread of electronic devices has enabled rapid and easy technological fallout of research in the field of the acquisition-representation of the survey data expanding audiences and accelerating even an innovative approach to the whole knowledge of CH. Among the objectives that the DigitCH group seeks to achieve is the strengthening of the concrete experience of visitors through the use of technological potential; this allows the promotion of CH in all categories of citizens and the renewal of approaches and languages through more active and interactive educational activities. Moreover, DigitCH aims to increase knowledge of CH gained through experience within bespoke digital environments. A selection of case histories from DigitCH shows how we have designed solutions that promote interactions within a broad context, aiming to establish a communication strategy that “opens the educational box” to the territory (to get in touch with the identity of the visited places), new languages (to foster the links between different kinds of cultural heritage: architecture, archeology, artistic heritage), and to a new public (to create a shared cultural habitat among different institutions).
