From knowledge to complex representation interpretation of material systems, survey guidelines and reading criteria, multi-representations of 3D city models for Cultural Heritage

The paper describes reading criteria for the interpretation of material systems and the procedures followed by Digital Representation Platform through graphic analysis and multi-scale representation for Cultural Heritage in Milan and Venice, Italy. In addition, this study describes 3D City Models as key features into decision making of several urban related problems, and introduces the concept of the smooth topological Generalized Area Partitioning.
