Data visualisation for the critical interpretation, representation, and communication of the urban image

This study aims to test the efficacy of a method of critical reading of che urban space,by means of interpretive languages wich are capable of displaying different ways to evaluate reality. We chose to operate in those utban areas, which, suffering from a long process of stratification, ended up expressing strong spatial tensions. The main purpose of this reseatch is to accomplish a representation of the urban environment able to convey the result of critical evaluations in an expressive form, therefore through the production of 3D urban models, exploitable for all possible measures for the requalification of the urban image. The attention is focused on the developmet of reading and consultation systems, thu allowing the diffusion and sharing of digita representations of che city, both in a scientific and merely professional field.
