A modern city can be studied through its representation, from the urban to the architectural and detail scales. The image of a city is characterized by a plurality of architectural shapes that are visible across the urban landscape. This chapter describes the scientific method of the representation science, namely the architectural survey and drawing, as knowledge methods, that play the role of tools for the analysis of the structuring place dynamics. The methodology includes the retrieval of existing documentary material and the redrawing of the façades and their subsequent composition within the urban space. The research aim is to show the city image of Bari in its architectural, historical, and cultural essence, implementing a graphic model that can be an effective tool for protection, which contains the reference documentation of each architecture, that can be viewed and studied individually or placed in relation to other façades of the city.
Rappresentare le città contemporanee -reali, immaginate, virtuali, progettate, future, virtuali, efficienti, smart, sostenibiliconsiderandone anche la dimensione di scenario della vita quotidiana e paradigma dell'odierno abitare, è un'attività complessa e non più affidata esclusivamente a progettisti e studiosi. Alcune immagini che le rappresentano hanno una capacità evocativa e narrativa che sposta l'attenzione sullo stato emotivo e percettivo che il luogo ha sui suoi abitanti. La rappresentazione quindi è chiamata a raccontare la città avvalendosi dei molteplici linguaggi e produrre immagini significative, costruire narrazioni composte con materiale ad alto contenuto visivo e concettuale. L'obiettivo della indagine in corso è esplorare linguaggi grafici orientati alla costruzione di immagini significative studiando le dinamiche compositive e i dispositivi attraverso cui trasferire il sistema di conoscenza a cui la ricerca tende. La ricerca, che nel contempo è visiva e spaziale, sperimenta un dispositivo di rappresentazione delle architetture della città a partire dal disegno di una mappa che accoglie l'organizzazione per livelli degli elementi strutturali delle facciate. La superficie si compone di sequenze di questi elementi secondo criteri compositivi e sommativi, facendoli emergere nella loro autonomia linguistica e progettuale, al fine di indicare percorsi di conoscenza, estraendo informazioni e nessi per aree tematiche.
The object of this study is a group of architectural perspectives painted on the domes and walls of noble palaces in Apulia, in particular that the baronial palace in Botrugno, the Broquier palace in Trani, and the Manes palace in Bisceglie. The perspectives belong to the “Quadratura” genre that developed in Italy and Europe in the Baroque period, but the architectural solutions represented are specific of the Apulian regional context, of Neapolitan derivation, rather than linked to the noble models of the Emilian and Roman master experiences. These architectural perspectives can be considered belonging to that “immaterial cultural heritage,” as defined by the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2003, if we consider the cultural significance of these painting representations—as previously mentioned—for their relationship with the 16th-17th century painting season of “Quadratura,” for the massive production of treatises on perspective, as well as for the Baroque experiences and for the tradition in the use of “Festa” ephemeral architectures.
