What is Interpretative Architectural Model

The architectural 3D digital model is the mediator between intellect and tangible reality, and it takes the form of a digital replica of the observable phenomenal reality. Thereby the model expresses – i.e. contains – the history of the building and its passage through time. It’s an interpretable document, but also a genuine critical-historical text, expressed with the figurative language of the virtual dimension. Presupposition of this methodology for historical analysis, it’s a careful architectural surveying, a wise modeling project and an intelligent and critical use of the digital model.
