Ricostruzione da fotografie di edifici distrutti da eventi bellici: Palazzo Moncada, Palermo, 1907-1943

Abstract

The memory of hundreds of buildings and urban sites destroyed in Europe during WW1 and WW2 is often preserved by a single or few photographs. The paper focuses on a workflow that uses and combines digital drawing and modeling tools with the theory of perspective restitution to reconstruct, even from a single photograph, the model of the architectural parts depicted in the image. The case study is a building designed by the architect Ernesto Basile, built in Palermo and destroyed by bombs in 1943.
