Rappresentare lo spazio costruito, sia esso un’architettura o uno spazio urbano, significa innanzitutto imparare a coglierne le caratteristiche più recondite che, proprio attra- verso l’indagine grafica, si disvelano in tutta la propria evidenza. Conoscere grazie al disegno permette infatti di soffermarsi sulla realtà rappresentata, leggendone aspetti e relazioni non sempre facili da interpretare visivamente. La rappresentazione costituisce allora una pre- messa indispensabile alla valorizzazione di contesti e realtà che, pur dotati di una forte iden- tità, restano relegati in un ambito cognitivo superficiale, ovvero limitato all’aspetto esteriore dello spazio. Partendo da tali premesse il contributo intende soffermarsi sui borghi costieri amalfitani dei quali, attraverso opportune elaborazioni grafiche definite con un approccio operativo rigoroso, si possa rendere evidente l’immagine visiva e la struttura concreta della forma urbana, in tutti i suoi aspetti configurativi.

Abstract
Representing the built space, whether it is an architecture or an urban space, means first of all learning how to grasp its innermost characteristics that, through the graphic inter- pretation, reveal itself in all its own evidence. In fact, the drawing allows us to focus on the represented reality, by reading aspects and relationships that are not always easy to visually interpret. The representation is then an indispensable premise for the enhancement of built spaces that, although endowed with a strong identity, are looked at with a superficial cognitive approach, that is limited to the outer appearance of the space. Starting from these considerations, the paper intends to examine the Amalfi coastal towns through appropriate graphic elaborations. That is, thanks to a rigorous approach, we try to make evident the visual image and the concrete structure of their urban form, in all configurative aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
