Arquelogia do Desenho - Roma Cartografada

Abstract

Roma's cartography is perhaps the most complete and former of the Western world that accompanied its history since the founding of the city. The discovery of the iconographic heritage associated with all this long history of a single city, and the direct exploitaon of space in the present for almost two years, as a result of a rst year developed under the ERASMUS mobility programme and a second-year self-study for the purposes of Integrated Thesis, constute this wor's sub(c)ect. In an ambious thorough selecon process of exisng iconography from the beginning of the III century, accompanied by extensive bibliographic research, it gives a ind of archaeology of the space representa on. Is to say, we want to write a text which creates an explanaon of the city image from its representa on mode. Rome's image, in each of the eight phases chosen by obvious impacts in the city formaon, presents itself as a current pro(c)ect, turning the story into space. Using different data, both bibliographic and iconographic, it reconstructs a clear and simple picture of the city in digital form. With this method, a memory strategy, it is proposed an urban recognion of cies with an applicable process to other contexts, which registers the urban evoluon with current means.
