THE VILLA DEL CASALE, REPRESENTATION AND GEOMETRY TRICLINIO TREFOIL

Abstract: THE VILLA DEL CASALE, representation and geometry Triclinio trefoilThe Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, is a the top of the regional museum in Sicily for its number of visitors. It declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco since 1997. The interest is due to the effect of the images evoked by the mosaics notable for diversity and conservation. Following the gradual opening of the various environments of the Roman Villa Casale, it has been addressed to the study and the survey with laser scanner, of the triclinic triapsidal, with the ovoid peristyle, and graphic rendering of the corridor of the great hunt. The two rooms belong to the environments of the public part. The triclinium consists of two parts, the square hall trefoil, and the front porch elliptical. The formal differences of the geometry of the two parts, leads to the assumption that they are not synchronous. It is performed graphical analysis of the hall, with regards to both the geometric organization that the relationship with the ancient measuring units. For elliptical porch in front of the hall, which is also detected by the laser scanner, it looked for the geometric construction of the curve that interpolates the graphic restitution. The corridor of the great hunt, environment-largest museum site, it has defined the plant and grid reference of the subject to subsidence of the southern side. So using the graphical tool, has investigated the modulation and composition in order to compare and correlate the differentenvironments and establish synchronicity.
