Abstract
The city walls of Cagliari are an important example of military architecture protected for its historical-environmental and landscape value. The actual conformation of a multi-layered site preserves the signs of the different changes that have "redefined and sculpted" the shapes of the places creating a landscape that strongly characterize the Castello district and the city itself. The sequence of bastions located in the north and in the western sector of Castello, in particular, is the result of a series of urban transformations that have redesigned and expanded the defensive line by supporting settlement, religious and military reasons. A conscious protection of a landscape characterized by values and criticalities requires an in-depth knowledge of the transformations happened and an analysis of the dynamics in progress, entrusted to multidisciplinary investigations. However, the knowledge of the many aspects useful to guarantee a mindful management of the historical heritage is in the hands of specialists, masters of a language -sometimes difficult to understand for the layman- that needs appropriate means of representation to support a wider dissemination aimed to a bigger awareness of values. A representation that until the nineteenth century was mainly aimed to describe the architectural project as well as the documentation of the places in travelers' notebooks. However, the complexity of the historical stratification of the contemporary city requires the use of a strictly technical language and a scientific illustration that sometimes sacrifices the aspects related to disclosure. The transition from the pure technical model to a model easy to read is one of the objectives of a broader research -representing and illustrating urban transformations- which finds in the stronghold of Cagliari an opportunity to explore the different ways of graphic analysis and languages entrusted to traditional and IT tools, including integrated ones.File | Size | Format | |
