Experiments on the Virtual City: Three-Dimensional Reconfigurations of Missing, Never Realized or Destroyed Urban Areas

Abstract

We present two works on the “Virtual City” held at Palermo. They are about the three-dimensional reconfiguration of urban places that show evidence of “invisible” architecture; this is because in one case there were ancient monuments now destroyed, or in another case projects designed for the urban void and never made. The aim is to involve new forms of communication for the development of cultural tourism.
