EXPERIMENTAL INTERPRETATIVE MODEL OF EXCAVATED HYDRIC ARCHITECTURE OF MATERA CITY (ITALY)

Andrés Galera-Rodríguez, Loredana Ficarelli, Antonio Conte

Abstract


Underground spaces present a particular problem as a specific heritage typology, because of their own excavated nature, they are in many cases forgotten, and therefore hidden from human vision. This research aims to propose a series of graphic and design strategies to enhance their value in order to fully understand what is hidden, what is not seen, underground architecture.

Based on studies carried out by previous research, a process of critical reflection is proposed on different graphic interpretative models that will enable the representation of underground heritage spaces and which, in addition, provide a distinctive visual identity.

The main objective of these reflective processes is to improve the enhancement of this heritage typology by facilitating legibility for all the agents involved. The research approaches apparent oppositions such as the relationship between reality and interpretation, the tangible and the intangible. This experimental interpretative model is based on the case study of the Palombaro Lungo at Matera city, Italy.
