DYNAMIC VIEW. The parametric representation for the analysis of visual perception in motion

The image of the city, the territorial transformations, the value of the landscape, the implicit centrality of view, pushes research toward horizons of scientiicity, with the objective of deining criteria, strategies and tools to quantify perception data, conscious of the centrality of movement that characterizes our society which is always on the go. The proposal wants to start from the analysis of the essential elements of the vision and the laws already structured by the Gestalt theory, from which arise urban analysis like Kevin Lynch’s studies for the deinition of a system of notation of vision in motion. The construction of parametric algorithms stands as the place of trial, where through the simulation of the perceived reality is possible to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the perceived data. The result is a static analysis, conducted for all the points of the chosen path, which returns a colored mesh to indicate the degree of visibility of the elements of the context. At the same time it is also possible to derive a dynamic analysis, conducted point by point along the selected path, to obtain a monochrome mesh which indicate the space perceived from the point of the track in question. The centrality of the eye, which belongs to our culture of communication and of efective relationship between man and his territory, is thus, through this instrument, expressed and quantiied not to be the derived result but the strategic element that directs the project and supports the architectural choices.
