Introduction of Innovative Teaching Platform for Rome's Micro-Urban Space in 18th Century

摘要

The research team led by professor James Tice in Department of Architecture at University of Oregon has developed an innovative teaching platform "Imago Urbis: Giuseppe Vasi's Grand Tour of Rome". This network platform provides a geo-database map for the micro-urban space analysis to the eighteenth-century Rome by joining with two-dimensional Nolli Map and three-dimensional Vasi painting. The platform has used the modern information technology to link Nolli Map and Vasi painting, fully activated with more than 240 of Vasi paintings, including the measure, proportion, scale, sequence and structure of every building or landscape in the paintings, can become the important analyzing information for the building and landscape elements, which is great helpful to promote the teaching and research for the micro-urban space of Rome.
