Ricostruzione grafica delle fasi storiche di un relitto in pietra

Abstract

Representations of architecture are the result of their time, the available technology and the sensitivity of the author. Applying this consideration to a group of images from different epochs, we obtain a mosaic made up of various partial points of view which can, however, if analysed as a whole, provide a broader picture within which, here, we attempt to set up a critical analysis from a graphic point of view. The object of the research is a maritime fort in south-eastern Sicily, Fort Avalos at Augusta. The study starts from two extremes, consisting on the one hand of historical iconography and on the other of the survey. From the critical analysis of the images, we have hypothesised the possible diachronic development of the fort organised by significant episodes in its history
