In contemporary architecture, a border between an exterior and an interior—a façade—is variously designed in terms of form, style, response to climate or culture, individual approach or tools used. Despite the diversity and multi-tread theoretical and practical discourse, the Authors propose the typology of contemporary façades for public buildings (open to society) in the context of European cities by extracting comprehensive architectural features. The term systematic reflects the complexness of the issue by the newly proposed element. Namely, it is a representation of a particular architectural feature with the use of scale. The elaboration consists of (1) an introduction with a literature review and thesis, (2) our aim and method, (3) a historical background; case studies, and systematics introduction (4) conclusions with typology proposal.
is a pre-Hispanic archaeological site on the eastern slopes of the Andes at an altitude of ca. 1890-1925 m. Due to its historical and cultural value, the site was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. The entire archaeological site covers about 40 hectares and consists of two main parts: an administrative and ceremonial complex in the southern part of the site, and a natural rock (ca. 80 × 250 m) in the northern part of the site. The rock was the main subject of the project "Architectural examination and complex documentation of Samaipata (Fuerte de Samaipata/Bolivia) site from the World Heritage List" 1. The research presented here is part of this larger project. Due to the rapid erosion of the rock, one of its main objectives of the project was to produce comprehensive documentation of the entire sacred rock with the highest possible degree of accuracy and detail. The proper selection of technology, equipment, software, and workflow was fundamental to the success of the
Digital image processing techniques have been developing since the beginning of this century, resulting in more and more uses for them. For documenting and analysing rock art heritage, two groups of techniques deserve special attention. Both of them help to identify items that are not visible to the naked eye. The first group are applications based on the transformation of a single digital image. Among them, ImageJ [1] deserves special attention. This is an open-source Java application commonly used by many rock art researchers. It allows simple geometric transformations to be made (for example, cropping, scaling, resizing and rotating, flipping vertically or horizontally) as well as much more advanced image enhancement (for example, smoothing, sharpening, edge detection, median filtering, thresholding on grayscale
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
