London, Ravensbourne University
March 12th, 2019
This workshop is dedicated to the presentation of the work done on digital models derived from Leonardo’s drawings for the exhibition “Leonardo da Vinci and Perpetual Motion: Visualizing Impossible Machines” (Peltz Gallery, Birkbeck–University of London, from February 6th to March 12th, 2019). The issues covered include: transforming a drawing into a 3D virtual model, dimensioning a machine, the legitimacy of integrating/recreating missing parts, the choice of materials, the machine in its context, problems arising from 3D modeling, how to investigate and integrate the historical sources and give a new perspective to study.
The workshop is organized by Museo Galileo, Ravensbourne University and Birkbeck–University of London.
An enlarged version of the exhibition will be housed at the Museo Galileo in Florence from October 10th, 2019 to January 12th, 2020.
