Conference paperPublication Open Access Architettura e archeologia: la composizione conforme dello strato contemporaneo(Società Scientifica nazionale dei docenti di Progettazione Architettonica, SSD ICAR 14, 15 e 16: Naples, 2019) Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; Calderoni, A.; Di Palma, B.; Nitti, A.; Oliva, G.; CAMIZ, AlessandroNel recente dibattito sul rapporto tra architettura e archeologia (Capozzi, Fusco and Visconti 2019), (Mariniello 2016) prevale la tesi per la quale il progetto contemporaneo dovrebbe configurarsi nel sito archeologico affermando figurativamente la sua contemporaneità. Tale asserzione caratterizza gran parte della recente sperimentazione progettuale italiana nei contesti archeologici (Basso Peressut and Caliari 2014), (Cellini et al. 2009) ma soprattutto alimenta la polemica che contrappone molto spesso architetti e organismi preposti alla tutela, rendendo molto difficile la vita dei progetti. Questo contributo mette in discussione la necessità di tale affermazione figurativa. In un’area archeologica, prima del progetto architettonico, è stata effettuata una operazione progettuale di sottrazione, lo scavo, che si configura come unità stratigrafica negativa (Harris 1989).Conference paperPublication Open Access BIM documentation for architecture and archaeology: the shipwreck museum in the Kyrenia castle, Cyprus(Gangemi Editore, 2019) Capparelli, F.; Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; Conte, A.; Guida, A.; CAMIZ, AlessandroIn May 2018 we joined the “International Survey and Design Seminar & Workshop: Reading and designing the Kyrenia Castle”, at the Girne American University (Cyprus). During the workshop, we started a survey aimed at a general re-evaluation of the archeological data available on the site, in order to draw an updated plan of the castle. The work process started from the historical analysis together with the geometric one. We acquired Laser scans and built a 3D model combining it with a digital photogrammetric survey. In order to make all 3D data interoperable, we developed a Building Information Modelling (BIM) project focused on the Shipwreck Museum in the castle. This new approach not only represents the existing historic fabric but also allows the visualization and the complex analysis of the interventions proposed in various scenarios. We modelled the objects and managed them parametrically for a synthetic definition of the individual elements. The paper illustrates the procedure and the methodology by presenting the outcomes of the research.Book ChapterPublication Open Access Cyclical inversion of limits and centres: the formation process of the Regio quartadecima, Constantinople(University of Strathclyde Publishing, 2022) Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; Feliciotti, A.; Fleischmann, M.; CAMIZ, AlessandroThe paper reconstructs the topography of Constantinople’s fourteenth region (regio XIV) applying the urban morphology analysis methods (Caniggia and Maffei, 1979) and the attractors’ theory (Camiz, 2018) to the fragmentary documental sources and scarce archaeological data. The pontem sublicium sive ligneum’s location was determined as part of a street network, in analogy with the pons sublicius in Rome, according to the formation process of the territorial organism. This was the starting point for the reconstruction of the topographic mosaic. By redefining the path of the Constantinian walls upon quantitative sources it was possible to localise the monumental buildings of the XIV region, as listed in the Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae, with reference to the morphology of the territory described by Dionysius of Byzantium and the Patria Konstantinopoleos. The form of the territory is a permanent element within urban contexts of continuous changes, demolitions and reconstructions. The analysis of the urban tissues, the road network’s diachronic attraction and the reconstruction of the territorial organism provided the general methodological framework for the placement of the topographical urban fragments mentioned by historical sources upon a GIS.Conference paperPublication Open Access The double-chaired voussoir barrel vault on the Gymnasium Calidarium, Salamis Cyprus(Gangemi Editore, 2019) Camiz, Alessandro; Griffo, M.; Tedeschi, A.; Architecture; Conte, A.; Guida, A.; CAMIZ, AlessandroThe colonnade of the Salamis Gymnasium was excavated in 1890 (Arthur, Munro & Tubbs, 1891) and interpreted as part of a Temple of Zeus. The area was recognized as a thermal complex following new excavations in 1925, which therein uncovered partially three vaulted aulae. The building is a stratified palimpsest, reconstructed over the ruins of several earthquakes. First built during the rule of Augustus, archaeologists have dated one phase of the complex to the principate of Trajan 98-117 AD [25]. Others agree on dating the thermal buildings to the II century. On the base of the statues and coins found during the excavations, Karagheorgis pushed the last phase to the VI century. Even though dating the complex is an open issue, in the last phase, the architects designed this barrel vault, “une voûte faite de larges dalles assemblées” with double-chaired voussoirs, an anti-seismic device, on top of a thick wall of limestone ashlars. Stratigraphic data derived from an UAV digital photogrammetric survey allowed a tentative dating of the last phase of the complex. The paper will provide the graphical reconstruction of the vault so to understand its structural behaviour. We analysed the results of the survey with reference to other coeval examples of thermal buildings in the eastern Mediterranean area to provide new data for the building’s constructive phases within the late antique settlement of Constantia.Book ChapterPublication Open Access La partizione iugerale del suolo agricolo per il progetto del paesaggio archeologico degli acquedotti Aniensi(Edizioni Istituto Alcide Cervi, Gattatico (RE), 2020) Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; Bonini, G.; Pazzagli, R.; CAMIZ, AlessandroHere we present an example of circular subsidiarity applied to cultural heritage: it is a research launched as an action of the Agenda 21 of the Province of Rome and later developed as an experimentation of participation on the territory: the work concerns the reading and the design of the landscape of the aqueducts in the Aniene valley and was carried out as part of an institutional collaboration between Province of Rome, Municipality of Castel Madama and "Sapienza" University of Rome, in a framework of large horizontal participation. This contribution is based on of a "non-picturesque" conception of landscape, where landscape is not meant what man perceives, but what man transforms by working, that is "That form that man, in the course and for the purposes of his agricultural production activities, consciously and systematically impresses on the natural landscape ». Some of the indications from the reading of the current partitions of agricultural soils are been useful for identifying the Yugeral networks in the vicinity of the path of the Aniensi aqueducts. These networks have been assumed as a model for the definition of an ordering scheme that the General Variant of the P.R.G. adopted by the municipality of Castel Madama, then transformed into a monumental archaeological constraint, prefiguring a large archaeological-naturalistic park. This park includes the routes of the aqueducts in the castle area up to the left bank of the Aniene e some properties of the Agricultural University of Castel Madama.Book ChapterPublication Open Access Shifting point-attractors: the central-symmetric flexi of via Flaminia and via Clodia near pons Milvius, Rome(U+D editions, Rome, 2020) Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; Strappa, G.; Carlotti, P.; Ieva, M.; CAMIZ, AlessandroRecent urban morphology studies consider urban tissues as living organisms changing in time (Strappa, Carlotti, and Camiz, 2016), moreover even roads may be considered as organisms, and their diachronic deformations have been recently interpreted by the theory of attractors (Camiz, 2018). This paper analyses the fl exi on either side of the river Tevere along via Clodia and via Flaminia near Pons Milvius in Rome, and interprets them as the effect of the shifted position of a point attractor. The censor Gaius Flaminius Nepos established via Flaminia in 220 BC (Messineo and Carbonara, 1992), the via Clodia, running along an earlier Etruscan route, was instead paved in 225 BC. The pons Milvius, also known as pons Mollis, connecting the two sides of the river, was built by M. Aemilius Scaurus in 109 BC (Messineo and Calci, 1991), even though an earlier structure in wood is mentioned as early as 207 BC (Palombi, 2019). A flexus occurs along both the rectilinear paths of the two streets, following a central-symmetry. This central-symmetric configuration led to the reconnaissance of a differed attraction pattern within the trajectory of the road that we interpreted as the result of the modification of the ramps of the bridge occurred after the foundation. The cross comparison of documents, iconographic and cadastral sources together with archaeological evidence lead to the confirmation of the hypothesis, showing that the deformation and the consequent urban layering (Strappa, 2018) happened after the demolition of the lateral ramps in two distinct phases. The ramp on the south side was demolished by Maxentius before the battle of Ponte Milvio, held on October 28th 312 AD, the northern ramp was instead demolished during the bridge’s restoration works accomplished by Giuseppe Valadier in 1805.
