Fourth dimension for representing and communicating architectural heritage
In the last years dynamic and hyper-medial representations have burst on the scene of the traditionally static architectural representation methods, thanks to the most recent technological developments in the field of computer graphics. Advanced digital media techniques and dynamic representations are establishing as primary emerging modes of architectural representation, using different techniques such as 3D modelling, animation, montage, virtual and augmented realities and other digitally based techniques. This phenomenon has involved, with different aims and results, both the process and divulgation of design and the analysis and documentation of heritage. Meaning the representation of architectural heritage as a heuristic and interpretative method, and the communication as a conveying of knowledge tool, the introduction of the time dimension acts as a new powerful medium and a suitable tool to interpret the complexity of reality. In this paper we will develop some considerations about the surplus value by means of fourth dimension, in representation and communication of cultural heritage, referring to its different expressions and levels of immersiveness. The aim of this research is to express, starting from the analysis of some case studies, some proposals useful to researchers using dynamic representations of architectural heritage to increase the heuristic and communicative and expressive capabilities of their analysis.
