They needed to find a way to use it as 3D information within the model for degradation and material analysis. They had photogrammetry survey data which was of good quality and had good texture. Anna came up with the idea of using real-time visualization. Carla modeled the project and needed help to improve its texture of it. The project involved using Enscape to render the villa’s design. The site was chosen because the UNISA team had been working in Ravello for several years and wanted to deepen the widespread knowledge of the architectural heritage. It was also advantageous to have an educational license,” Anna explains.Įnscape was used on Villa Rufolo’s most significant element, the Moorish Coister. “Having used several real-time visualization software, Enscape was intuitive and fast. She introduced it to Carla when they searched for a fast and efficient rendering tool. Incorporating Enscape into the design workflowĪnna discovered Enscape for SketchUp during a class that involved creating the Coromandel Estate Manor House in South Africa. The intent was to make the monument reveal its history as it holds centuries of history and magnificent legends. The University of Salerno collaborated with Villa Rufolo Direction to rediscover and reconstruct its true history and retrace its thousand years of existence. Despite the effects of time, the villa has preserved many of the environments that make it one of the most exciting examples of twelfth-century architecture in southern Italy. It’s a structure that has lived moments of glory and darkness and has a style that continues to attract attention over the centuries, inspiring artists, writers, historians, and lovers of beauty.ĭue to its strategic position on the shores of the Amalfi Coast, it became a place of enormous cultural, natural, and commercial value during the Middle Ages. Villa Rufolo is a ‘jewel in the crown’ of Ravello in Italy. They had the opportunity to work together on the Villa Rufolo project, which involved architectural surveying and using real-time visualization to understand the history of the building.
Anna’s research focuses on the structural aspects connected with BIM methodologies, and Carla’s on the virtual dissemination of Cultural Heritage. in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Salerno (UNISA). Anna Sanseverino and Carla Ferreyra have earned their Ph.D.
