Document Summary

The leaning tower of pisa: constructed from 1173-1372, long historical trajectory. Its content in history cannot be ignored when discussing about the tower. To understand its history, we need to understand first how we look at the building today. Not separate, as image to be reproduced endlessly. A routinely tourist habit: changed through time, fundamental to the building itself. A building and its reality: it (cid:28632)(cid:28643)(cid:28633)(cid:28647)(cid:28642)"(cid:28648) (cid:28633)(cid:28652)(cid:28637)(cid:28647)(cid:28648) (cid:28643)(cid:28649)(cid:28648)(cid:28647)(cid:28637)(cid:28632)(cid:28633) (cid:28643)(cid:28634) (cid:28636)(cid:28643)(cid:28651) (cid:28651)(cid:28633) (cid:28649)(cid:28642)(cid:28632)(cid:28633)(cid:28646)(cid:28647)(cid:28648)a(cid:28642)(cid:28632) (cid:28637)(cid:28648). A model of gize pyramid: we are actually looking at a digital photograph. There are many layers of mediation when understanding a building. The way they are circulated, reflected, and reproduced: how they unfold over time in different conditions. In a longer history trajectory: put into scale and the modern period is compressed.
