Cultural heritage survey and inclusive representation. The case of Villa Ottolenghi

The integrated models, conceived as the result of a process and not as a product of a particular software, allow to organize and manage the “survey project” and its execution, as well as to evaluate all the competing aspects in its realization. The scenario that emerged from the analysis of the scientific literature shows how it is not possible to attribute to the technologies present on the market this value of comprehensive information collectors: on the contrary, this holistic approach constitutes the principle of integrated / advanced modeling, conceived within this framework. research as a process of representation of architectural knowledge, which is configured as a procedure and not as a computer software. The case study of Villa Ottolenghi has an experimental intention and is a pilot project for a series of future developments where interaction is the cornerstone of use. The realization of this research is the expression of the communication skills of survey and representation through the use of technological and interactive systems. This research was born with the aim of experimenting and coherently adapting IT applications capable of displaying in a mixed environment, three-dimensional images and information data relating to existing and non-existing artistic and architectural cultural heritage, with direct application to the case study of Villa Ottolenghi in Acqui Terme and its visualization in a holographic environment.
