description: Il saggio [i] illustra l’opera di Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, una figura rilevante dell’epoca coloniale, che fu profondamente coinvolto, come architetto, nel revival dell’architettura tradizionale indiana nello Stato di Jeypore (ora Jaipur) durante il primo periodo del XIX secolo. In particolare il focus è sul Catalogo dei dettagli architettonici di Jeypore che è costituito dalla raccolta di una serie di rilievi compiuti dallo stesso Jacob. Il saggio esamina il contesto in cui il Catalogo è stato prodotto e la sua influenza sulle costruzioni tradizionali. Inoltre si evidenzia l’evoluzione del concetto di documentazione in India e le sue implicazioni culturali.
[i] Questo saggio è un estratto della tesi di Master di Vanicka Arora.
description: This paper [i] explores the work of Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, a prominent colonial architect in India who was intricately involved in the revival of traditional building crafts in Jeypore state (now Jaipur) in the early nineteenth century. In particular, the focus is on the ‘Jeypore Portfolio of Architectural Details’, which was a collection of architectural details from various historic buildings compiled as a record by Jacob. The paper examines the context of the Portfolio as well as the impact it had on the local crafts. It also looks at the evolution of architectural documentation in India and its general implications.

L'inscription de l'histoire dans la trilogie d'Hélène Brodeur.

description: Au cours des années 80, Hélène Brodeur, écrivaine franco-ontarienne, publia une trilogie dont les tomes, intitulés respectivement La Quête d'Alexandre, Entre l'aube et le jour , et Les routes incertaines , ont été regroupés par l'auteure sous l'appellation de Chroniques du Nouvel-Ontario . Lourd de signification, le vocable «chronique» sous-tend une forte présence de l'histoire de l'Ontario-Nord au coeur de l'intrigue romanesque brodeurienne. Or, bien que la chronique se veuille un répertoire de faits historiques rapportés dans le respect de leur temporalité, la trilogie s'écarte de cette définition essentiellement parce qu'elle est avant tout une oeuvre de fiction où l'imaginaire joue un rôle prépondérant. Certes, l'histoire, ou la réalité révolue, parfois élément actif de l'intrigue, souvent contexte ou bref récit mis en abîme, reste omniprésente tout au long de chacun des volumes de la trilogie brodeurienne. Apparaissant dans des proportions et des formes variées, elle est tantôt rigoureusement fidèle à la réalité, tantôt modifiée par l'écrivaine au profit de la fiction. En prenant appui sur des sources documentaires d'historiens et sur des ouvrages théoriques, notamment ceux de Georges Lukacs, de Claudie Bernard et de Gilles Nélod, nous nous sommes donc interrogée sur les rapports existant entre l'histoire et la fiction au coeur de l'oeuvre brodeurienne pour enfin déterminer la nature de la relation entre la trilogie et le roman historique tel que les spécialistes le définissent.

description: Abitare è rimanere in un luogo. È interagire con lo spazio, il paesaggio, la natura e gli uomini. Il risultato di  quest’azione permane come un segno nel territorio ed è trasmessa alle generazioni future col passare del tempo. In questo modo a si afferma il concetto di patrimonio associato all’azione dell’abitare un luogo sia questo una casa, sia un  convento, una città, un paesaggio costruito, etc. I luoghi del patrimonio sono il supporto fisico della memoria sociale, la quale è trasmessa nell’atto stesso del vivere umano. Così la memoria degli uomini è radicata nel modo in cui loro abitano i luoghi. Togliere ai luoghi questa caratteristica di vita, questa funzione dell’abitare, riduce drasticamente il senso del patrimonio ed il suo ruolo di monumento, di memoria vivente. Cercare di mantenere vivo il patrimonio, nelle sue diverse valenze, è il compito principale della società odierna rispetto al patrimonio costruito. Si può affermare che oggi conosciamo tutte le soluzioni tecniche per la conservazione dei monumenti. Non disponiamo tuttavia delle soluzioni sociali capaci di mantenerli viventi e attuanti nel nostro mondo contemporaneo. Il caso del Convento di Cristo diventa un paradigma di questa lotta per una nuova strategia di conservazione centrata sul vivere i luoghi, sull’abitare il patrimonio.
description: To inhabit is to stay in a place. It’s to interact with space, landscape, nature and men. The result of those actions is  marked in the territory and it’s transmitted to future generations by the succession of times. By this way the heritage concept appears, associated to the inhabiting of the places, that could be as well a house, a Convent, a city, a built landscape, etc. The heritage places are the physical support of social memory witch is transmitted by human existence, itself. The human memory is funded in the way the man inhabits the places. By subtracting them this life characteristic, the function of inhabiting, the sense of heritage will be drastically decreased. Aiming to keep monuments alive in their multiple valences is the main task of modern society, on conservation issues of built cultural heritage. One could say that nowadays there’s a large array of tecnical solutions in order to conserve monuments and old buildings. However, in our modern world, we don’t yet have the social solutions for maintaining them alive and dynamic. The Convent of Christ case is a paradigm of this struggle, for a new conservation figure focused in the living of places, the inhabiting of the cultural heritage.

description: La fotomodellazione è una innovativa tecnologia digitale che permette di creare, a partire da semplici immagini raster,  una nuvola di punti tridimensionali. La sua carica di rinnovamento si esplicita in particolare nella economicità degli strumenti che, a fronte degli spesso inaccessibili laser scanner, si appoggia invece sulle comuni macchine fotografiche digitali. Inoltre enti di ricerca internazionali hanno sviluppato programmi open source che permettono la creazione del modello numerico e la successiva rielaborazione della nuvola di punti. Basandosi su esperienze di ricerca personali e sulla successiva attività didattica, l’obiettivo dello studio è analizzare la logica di questi processi per verificarne l’applicabilità nel campo di ricerca architettonico, effettuando un percorso utile a comprendere le procedure informatiche e a determinare criteri per la valutazione della loro affidabilità.
description: Photomodelling refers to the innovative process in the digital environment, which transforms simple raster images into a three-dimensional model. The revolution of this technique is particularly explicit in a comparison of the cost of the  instruments, the so inaccessible laser scanners on one hand, and the common digital cameras on the other hand. Furthermore, International research organizations have developed open source software that allows the creation of the numerical model and the elaboration of the point cloud. Based on personal research experiences and after on the teaching support, the aim of the study is to analyze the logic of these processes, to verify its applicability in the field of architectural research, making a useful way to understand the computer procedures and to determine criteria for evaluation of their reliability.
Lacordaire's understanding of "restoration" in relation to his refounding of the Dominican Order in the 19th century France.

description: Henri-Dominique Lacordaire (1802--61) was one of the most important figures in the restoration of Catholicism in France after the Revolution. His most enduring contribution to French Catholicism was his re-establishment of the Dominican Order. In this dissertation, I attempt to demonstrate that among those who founded and refounded religious communities in France during the nineteenth century, Lacordaire's understanding of religious life was unique; this uniqueness was particularly evident in his understanding of "restoration" of religious life. Lacordaire, like almost all nineteenth century French Catholics, had been deeply influenced by the Romantic Movement. Like the secular and unlike the Catholic Romantics of nineteenth century France, Lacordaire loved liberty and the world that had emerged from the French Revolution. His Romantic perspective had a profound impact on his understanding of what it would mean to "restore" a religious order. In the first chapter of this dissertation, I discuss briefly the situation in which the Catholic Church in France found itself in the early nineteenth century aftermath of the Revolution which had sought to destroy it. The second chapter is devoted to the presentation of the importance of the restoration of religious life in France to the overall restoration of the church in that country. I emphasize the complicated situation that existed for religious communities in the early nineteenth century. In the third chapter, I discuss Lacordaire's pre-Dominican life. The fourth chapter is especially concerned with Lacordaire's restoration of the Dominican Order. The fifth chapter deals with the difficulties between Lacordaire and his most famous recruit, Alexandre Jandel, who was appointed by Pope Pius IX as head of the Dominican Order in 1850. The sixth chapter is devoted to evaluating Lacordaire's understanding of "restoration" of religious life. It emphasizes the affinity between his Romantic perspective and that of the secular Romantics of his day. I conclude by proposing Lacordaire's understanding of "restoration" as a model and guide for our time as the church and religious communities continue to grapple with questions of renewal and relevance.

description: People often develop strong emotional connections with their dogs and consider them to be members of the family. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel validated tool, the Mourning Dog Questionnaire, to recognise and evaluate the mourning process in people who have lost a dog. The research model was based on a grid of five different questionnaires: the Pet Bereavement Questionnaire, the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale, the Animal-Human Continuity Scale, the Positivity Scale, and the Testoni Death Representation Scale. The Italian version of the survey was posted on social networks. A sample of 369 Italian dog owners filled in the questionnaire (mean age ± SD 42.00 ± 10.70 years). Reliability indices were good for all instruments. The total scores of the five questionnaires correlated with each other. The results from the Mourning Dog Questionnaire support the negative view of life after the death of a pet and people’s tendency to humanise their pet, since dog owners perceived animals no differently from humans in terms of emotions, needs and legal rights. Findings arising from the use of the Mourning Dog Questionnaire will help the implementation of rationality-based strategies to improve the wellbeing, resilience and quality of life of people in the world experiencing the loss of a pet.

description: An increasing number of graduate students are choosing to pursue their studies internationally and Canada is one of the principal host countries for these students, particularly students from China. The push by many Canadian universities to increase their foreign enrollment has led to new classroom dynamics. Chinese international students (CIS) are at the centre of this change. However, getting accepted into a Canadian graduate program does not necessarily mean that the challenges facing these students are over. Often, they encounter social, cultural, linguistic, and academic challenges that as they navigate the unfamiliar environments they find themselves in. The purpose of this study is to use a conceptual framework based on the notion of acculturation to explore these challenges faced by four Chinese international students who have completed their Master’s of Education degrees in Second Language Education. My goal is not only to provide a platform to highlight the voices of these students, but also to create a greater understanding of the challenges they face for the edification of their classmates, professors and university administrators. The findings of this study demonstrate that my respondents encountered a variety of challenges during their graduate studies in Canada, both inside and outside of the classroom. Although numerous studies have been conducted that examine various aspects of the experiences of international students, none have used the Seidman (2013) three-interview qualitative method. This method provides opportunities for prolonged lengths of time to be spent with each participant, which therefore allows for greater depth of investigation to be reached with each. This study demonstrates how a sample of Chinese international students met and dealt with the socio-cultural, linguistic, and more particularly academic challenges they encountered in Canadian graduate-level courses.

description: La multimedialità è fatta di “ricchezza audiovisiva, profondità conoscitiva e informativa, interattività”[i] e, ancora, un prodotto multimediale dovrebbe essere “ricco, profondo e mobile, avvincente come un film, sistematico come un libro e interattivo come un videogioco”[ii]. A partire da tali definizioni, il contributo proposto intende indagare su alcune delle opportunità che le più recenti innovazioni tecnologiche offrono per l’ampliamento e la diffusione delle conoscenze sul patrimonio culturale, in particolare soffermandosi sulle applicazioni che privilegiano la “scena digitale 3D” del bene culturale, architettonico e urbano, sia in quanto interfaccia di accesso ai contenuti culturali e sia in quanto luogo in cui si costruiscono informazioni. Tale modalità di approccio, analoga e interattiva, incardinata sul coinvolgimento sensoriale ed emozionale, si costituisce di fatto come un valore aggiunto per la comunicazione, la fruizione e l’elaborazione di informazioni e contenuti, qualificandosi utilmente per la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale.

With these definitions as a starting point, the proposed paper aims at investigating the possibility of increasing the awareness of our cultural heritage and spreading that knowledge using the latest technological innovations. Particular attention is given to the “3D digital scene” with reference to architectural and urban cultural heritage, as it is an excellent means of giving access to the cultural content as well as being a hub for collecting information. This approach, founded on sensorial and emotional involvement, is in effect of added value for communication, and for the elaboration and development of information and content. This makes it an extremely valid tool for the enhancement of our cultural heritage. [i] Negroponte N., Essere digitali, Sperling & Kupfer, Milano, 2004.

description: Background: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) reduces mortality and improves outcome after malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMI) but early in-hospital mortality remains high between 22 and 33%. Possibly, this circumstance is driven by cerebral herniation due to space-occupying brain swelling despite decompressive surgery. As the size of the removed bone flap may vary considerably between surgeons, a size too small could foster herniation. Here, we investigated the effect of the additional volume created by an extended DHC (eDHC) on early in-hospital mortality in patients suffering from MMI. Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study of 97 patients with MMI that were treated either with eDHC (n = 40) or standard DHC (sDHC; n = 57) between January 2006 and June 2012. The primary study end point was defined as in-hospital mortality due to transtentorial herniation. Results: In-hospital mortality due to transtentorial herniation was significantly lower after eDHC (0 vs. 11%; p = 0.04), which was paralleled by a significantly larger volume of the craniectomy (p < 0.001) and less cerebral swelling (eDHC 21% vs. sDHC 25%; p = 0.03). No statistically significant differences were found in surgical or non-surgical complications and postoperative intensive care treatment. Conclusion: Despite a more aggressive surgical approach, eDHC may reduce early in-hospital mortality and limit transtentorial herniation. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm our results and assess general safety of eDHC. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: This thesis addresses research on the design and modeling of GaAs traveling wave electro-optic modulators with a highly doped layer. These modulators are in the form of a waveguide integrated with Planar Microstrip electrodes (PMS), and of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer integrated with capacitively loaded Coplanar Strips (CPS) electrodes. In both, the use of a thin highly doped layer ensures a good overlap between the applied electric field and optical mode. The design space of both PMS and loaded CPS electrodes are fully characterized. Waveguides of low propagation loss are designed. Wide bandwidth traveling wave modulators require low optical and microwave insertion loss, impedance matching, velocity matching and low half wave voltage. The simulation results predict that modulators with PMS electrodes have a limited frequency response while the modulators with CPS loaded electrodes have an electrical 3 dB bandwidth up to 70 GHz for 1cm device and Vpi of 9.4 V·cm.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Various synthetic routes were used in attempt to synthesize nortaxoids that have the potential to be more potent anti cancer reagents than TaxolRTM. In a previously established pathway to taxoid precursor 66, aldehyde 65 was difficult to purify and store. An alternative method involved preparing enol ether 79 using carbometallation and Wittig chemistry. An attempted synthesis of nortaxoid 97 used indium chemistry as a key step in its synthetic pathway. The chemical properties of aphenes are not known as well as those of acenes. Acenes are known to have interesting electronic properties. The electronic utility of aphenes is not known. The diene-transmissive Diels-Alder reaction of cross-conjugated trienes with cyclic dienophiles was used to make the skeleton of butaphene precursor (190). The conversion of these skeletons, which can act as dienophiles, into hexaphenes 204 or octaphenes 205 through a second Diels-Alder reaction with cyclic dienes (i.e. cyclopentadiene or o-quinodimethane was investigated.

description: In the Ottawa Hospital Weight Management Clinic, we have previously identified subpopulations of patients in the upper and lower quintiles for rate of weight loss, and characterized them as ‘obese diet sensitive’ (ODS) and ‘obese diet resistant’ (ODR) patient groups, respectively. Skeletal muscle is a major contributor to basal metabolic rate and mitochondrial proton leak in skeletal muscle can account for up to 50 % of resting oxygen consumption. The overall aim of this research is to explore differences in mitochondrial function in human primary myotubes from ODS and ODR subjects. Subsets of ODS and ODR subjects (n = 9/group) who followed a hypocaloric clinical weight loss program at the Ottawa Weight Management Clinic consented to a muscle (vastus lateralis) biopsy. Human primary myoblasts obtained from biopsies were immunopurified and differentiated into myotubes. Mitochondrial function and distribution were compared in intact myotubes from ODS and ODR subjects. Mitochondrial proton leak was significantly lower (p< 0.05) in ODR myotubes compared to ODS myotubes, independent of whether cells were differentiated in low or high glucose medium. In addition, in low glucose medium, ODR myotubes had higher MnSOD protein levels compared to ODS myotubes (p< 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in mitochondrial content, mitochondrial membrane potential, cellular ROS levels or ATP content between ODS and ODR myotubes. Overall, our in vitro mitochondrial proton leak results are consistent with our previous ex vivo results. Future research should examine the possibility that differences in proton leak between ODS and ODR groups may be related to mechanisms of cellular ROS regulation.

Interaction between cultural and new technologies, surely, will create many opportunities in conservation,  ommunication and economic development for what concerns the rich historical and artistic heritage in the Mediterranean area. The Mediterranean basin, and particularly the area of the Maghreb have a vast repertoire of useful cases to test survey methods, theories and techniques for understanding, recovery and preservation of architectural works of significant historical and cultural importance. The term Maghreb (Arabic for “West”) identifies the region of North Africa that includes Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt.

description: Repeated cold exposures and warmer winter temperatures might negatively affect insects by depleting stored fuel reserves. I researched the effects of fluctuating thermal regimes on two species of solitary mason bees (Osmia albiventris and O. lignaria) by quantifying mass loss and reserves of lipids, free sugars, and glycogen after experimental temperature treatments during early spring. In a second season, I quantified mass loss, time to emergence, and time to recover from chill coma after bees had been exposed to one of two spring-time temperature regimes. I found that warmer temperatures in combination with greater temperature variability increases mass loss and the depletion of fuel reserves. Additionally, my results suggest that accelerated bee emergence helps to mitigate mass loss. Overall, these bees appear resilient in the face of changing spring temperatures. Résumé: On sait peu sur la façon dont la variabilité environnementale affecte les abeilles solitaires sauvages. Ma recherche a étudié la façon dont les régimes thermiques fluctuants affectent la vigueur de deux espèces d'abeilles solitaires (Osmia albiventris et O. lignaria) en quantifiant la perte de masse ainsi que les réserves métaboliques (lipides, sucres libres, et glycogène) des abeilles suite à des manipulations expérimentales de la température printanière. Dans une deuxième saison, j’ai quantifié la perte de masse, le temps de l'émergence et le temps pour récupérer du coma froid après que les abeilles avaient été exposées à l'un de deux régimes de températures printanières. Mes résultats indiquent que les températures plus chaudes ont tendance à augmenter la perte de masse et des réserves métaboliques lorsqu'elles sont combinées avec une plus grande variabilité. De plus, mes résultats suggèrent que ces abeilles sont résilientes face aux températures printanières changeantes.

Autour de la Méditerranée.
Autour de la Méditerranée.

description: The research named “Autour de la Méditerranée” was recently the subject of a great expoxition in Tanger, at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes. It’s a big-sketched story of travels around our sea. It talks about the big quantity of monuments that we can find along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the wonderfull ruins, the mystical power of its holy buildings. The domes and the towers, the signs and the colors, tell us different sides of the same common origin, where the best architecture comes from the exchange: from Egyptians in Rome, from Romans in Tunisia, from Arabs in Spain and from Christians in Egypt. A travel into a common colture, remembering the sense of the Mediterranean basin as our “cradle of civilization”.
description: Autour de la Méditerranée, è un lungo bilancio di viaggi, intorno al nostro mare. Racconta la consapevolezza della straordinaria quantità di monumenti che questo bacino accoglie nel suo grembo, la meravigliosa magniloquenza dei suoi ruderi e la mistica potenza degli edifici sacri. Il susseguirsi di cupole e torri, di segni e di colori costruiti che, ancora, sembrano raccontare facce diverse della stessa straordinaria origine e realtà, in cui, spesso, le cose migliori sono prodotte dalla promiscuità, dallo scambio: dagli egizi a Roma e dai romani in Tunisia, dagli arabi in Spagna e dai cristiani in Egitto. Un itinerario fatto di cultura comune e possente, di un rimando al senso di ciò che in infanzia ci insegnavano essere la culla delle civiltà.
The design and implementation of the user interface and the Web server extension to a relational database application.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The Web provides new opportunities for gathering information from multiple, distributed, heterogeneous information sources. However, this distributed environment poses difficult technical problems for the information-seeking client, including finding the information sources relevant to an interest, formulating questions in the terms that the sources understand, interpreting the retrieved information, and assembling the information retrieved from several sources into a coherent answer. We have developed a relational database application to tackle these problems. The Global University Database (GUD) project, funded by Nortel, has been developed by the GUD group at the Multimedia and Mobile Agent Research Lab (MMARL), University of Ottawa, Canada. The project was initiated around September 1997. The idea is to retrieve the University-relevant information through the Internet, and to populate a local database with the data extracted. The database may be updated to reflect the changes that could have occurred on the university Web sites from which the data have been extracted. The users will then access and query the database as a single source of information. The main contributions of this research are the design and implementation of the user interface and Web server extension of this relational database system. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Drawing & Design for Cultural Heritage.
Il disegno per il design dei beni culturali.

description: Design for cultural heritage includes theories, methodologies, and design techniques which encompasses the system of cultural heritage in its broadest sense addressing the cognitive, social and symbolic meaning for a territory and a community. Traditionally the representation disciplines are able to converse with the multiple fields of industrial design expertise proposing “interpretative models” for the analysis and representation of historical, cultural, aesthetic and environmental significance of cultural heritage and of its tangible and intangible issues. Strategy of valorization, such as explanation of the value of heritage, consists of the mapping of these values: 3D modeling, representation and multimedia. Representation become a mean for structured knowledge and flexible but also to configure the forms of innovation through the creative potential of Industrial Design.
description: Il design per i beni culturali comprende teorie, metodologie, e tecniche di progetto che hanno come ambito di applicazione il sistema dei beni culturali inteso nella sua accezione più ampia, di dimensione cognitiva, sociale e simbolica di un territorio e di una comunità. Le discipline della rappresentazione tradizionalmente riescono a dialogare con le molteplici specializzazioni disciplinari del design proponendo la definizione di “modelli interpretativi” per l’analisi e la rappresentazione dei valori storici, culturali, estetici ed ambientali di un bene culturale e del suo significato materiale e immateriale. La strategia di valorizzazione, come esplicitazione dei valori di un bene, si articola nella mappatura di tali valori attraverso la modellazione e la rappresentazione informativa e multimediale. Il disegno pertanto si attua come vettore di conoscenza strutturata e flessibile ma anche per configurare le forme dell’innovazione attraverso il potenziale creativo del Design.

description: The transmission of high quality video streams over IP networks becomes more and more attractive for providing IP based TV or video on demand services. Still a reasonable high bandwidth is required for achieving high quality streaming. Instead of using hard reservations to guaranty the quality of the video transmissions we present an adaptive streaming algorithm based on adaptive packet marking which provides soft guarantees. A prototype streaming server and client have been developed supporting RTP-encapsulated MPEG-2 transmission, into which the adaptive streaming algorithm has been integrated. The software has been successfully used in a testbed, demonstrating that the algorithm is effective and has very promising properties.

description: La mondialisation de l'économie et des marchés a engendré une profonde remise en cause du cadre national. Actuellement, l'économie-monde est parvenue à s'imposer presque partout sur l'ensemble de la planète. Caractérisée par une circulation du capital, des biens et des services, cette économie est parvenue à remettre en cause la notion de territorialité, affectant du même coup tout ce qu'une communauté pouvait considérer comme fondamental, voire sacré comme l'identité par exemple. Par ce dynamisme, certains auteurs en ont appelé à son dépassement, pour la mise sur pied d'un cadre post-national capable de répondre adéquatement aux exigences de cette mondialisation. Loin d'être pour ces tenants une régression pour la démocratie, ce cadre en rupture profonde pour ne pas dire totale avec les réalités et moeurs nationales, rend caduque un tel projet si l'on considère que le projet démocratique se veut avant tout celui de l'individu et de sa communauté.

description: Il progetto architettonico è un insieme complesso di operazioni dove confluiscono i saperi e le professionalità di molte figure coinvolte, interagenti tra loro sostanzialmente mediante comunicazioni basate ancora su documenti cartacei. Il Building Information Modeling, il cui stato dell’arte è oggetto di questo articolo, è una strategia di progettazione che aspira ad essere molto più che un mero strumento di scambio informativo: esso si configura infatti come un metodo olistico e coordinato per assistere i tecnici progettisti, i committenti, i decision makers, i manutentori e tutti coloro i quali partecipano al progetto edilizio. Un modello digitale ottenuto con software B.I.M. consente, tra le altre cose, di integrare i dati necessari a tutti gli attori, mantenendoli sempre aggiornati, agevolando le modifiche dei componenti costruttivi in tempo reale e descrivendo il progetto in maniera disambigua.
description: The architectural design is a complex set of transactions where the knowledge proper of many disciplines meets the professionalism of many people involved as well, still mainly interacting via paper-based communications. Building Information Modeling, whom state of the art is the subject of this paper, is first of all a design strategy which aspires to be much more than a mere information exchange tool: it is rather a coordinated and holistic approach aimed to assist engineers, designers, developers, decision makers, contractors and owners. A digital model derived from B.I.M. software allows, among other things, to integrate the necessary data to all the actors, keeping it up to date, facilitating in real time the changes of the building components and describing the project in a coherent way.
