title	The “Franziszeische Kataster” (land register) – Only a historial Map?

summary	Franz I. of Austria that the legislative and technical hindrances were cleared away in order to commence with big changes. One cantruly say that it was due to his land tax patent from the 23rd of December 1817 that he founded the main land register of Austria andof the whole empire. The basic ideas of this patent are still valid today.This land register, named after it’s originator, was also said to be a “stabile” land register because the net profit rate, which wascrucial for the rating of taxation, was to be stabilized without giving consideration to higher productivity or diligence except to casesin which the fertility of the earth was destroyed by natural phenomenon.The land register was developed for the city of Vienna in the years 1819 to 1824. This land register of Vienna was scanned and digitized by the Urban Archaeology of Vienna. Since the launching of the “Kulturgüterkataster (Cultural Heritage Cadastre)“ in 1996, the individual municipal departments of the City of Vienna have developed a massive body of know-how regarding the various fields of interest. In particular, the inventoryingand evaluation of architectural objects as implemented by the City of Vienna could be easily adapted to other EU cities. It has alreadybeen suggested to initiate corresponding EU projects or participate in such.The long-time objective is an Internet portal. Based on the applications and competence developed in Vienna, the cultural assets of European metropolises could be digitised to present them in a novel forum. Lovers of culture, historians and urban planners would thus dispose of an instrument that renders urbanistic research much more efficient. Here, the “Franziszeischer Kataster“ could play a key role. Especially in the candidate countries in Eastern and South-eastern Europe, land surveying to this day would be unthinkable without this land register. A digital version of the register, could provide enormous support to the surveyor’s offices in the new Member States.

summary	This research project was part of the design and construction of the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers (MEL) at the University of Virginia (UVA). The MEL was dedicated to an estimated 4,000 enslaved persons who worked at UVA between 1817 and 1865. The 80-foot-diameter memorial is a tapered toroidal shape composed of 75 stone blocks. This project demonstrates how computational design tools along with robotic digital fabrication can be used to achieve unique social and experiential effects in an architectural application. The memorial’s design was informed by an extensive community engagement process that clarified the importance of including a visual representation of enslaved people on the memorial. With this input, the eyes of Isabella Gibbons were selected to be used as a symbolic representation of triumph on the outer wall of the memorial. The MEL project could not rely solely on prior methods or existing software applications to design and fabricate this portrait due to four particularities of the project: material, geometry, representation, and scale. To address these challenges, the MEL design team employed an interdisciplinary collaborative process to develop an innovative parametric design technique: parametric photo V-carve. This technique allowed the MEL design team to render a large-scale photo-realistic portrait into stone. This project demonstrates how the synthesis of artistic motivations, computational design, and robotic digital fabrication can develop unique expressions that shape personal and cultural experiences.
