TRANSCRIÇÃO E RECONSTRUÇÃO DIGITAL – FERRAMENTAS NA ANÁLISE DE ARQUITETURA

Abstract

This article stems from a chapter of the Master Dissertation defended in 2017 and demonstrates the importance of Digital Transcription and Reconstruction as a tool for the analysis, understanding and visualization of the designed and not constructed architectural space. In recent years virtual reality and computer graphics have revolutionized the world in all its instances, including architecture and urbanism. It is present in the processes of conception, design, production and representation. In this research, a practical approach and a case study - Tropical Hotel of Manaus - project of the architect Sergio Bernardes, not built, were adopted as methodology. In order to generate research lines it was fundamental to review primary sources of archives about the architect and the project. After collecting all the documentary evidence, the application of the Digital Transcription method - generated in digital platforms (CAD and BIM) - allowed the Digital Reconstruction made in 3D modeling techniques more adequate to answer the specific questions of the researcher about the transcribed project. This methodology allowed to create a new iconography, a virtual space that admits explorations, sensations, experiences and visualizations of the project in order to enrich the academic and scientific works on architecture projects not constructed.
