Reloading Le Corbusier’s Architectures with New Technologies for Advanced Visualization of Cultural Heritage

Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyse some architectures designed by Le Corbusier and to visualize them with advanced technologies in order to explain better the singularity of their geometry and form. In particular we studied the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion and the Cabanon in Cap Martin. Both cases were developed with different systems of communication. The first one - the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion - is based on a protocol of dynamic real-time navigation, similar to the interaction we have using video games; for the second one we have used a static anamorphic anaglyph, which can be seen with the well-known glasses having two different red-blue lens, for the stereoscopic visualization {[}1]. All of them have requested different softwares and procedures which are described into the paper. The aim is to define some possible uses of these technologies to be applied for exhibitions and culture dissemination of architectural heritage.
