Digital Tools in Architectural History and Identity of Virtual Space. Research and Teaching Experiences for the Enhancement of Cultural Heritage

How can digital tools relate to the history of architecture, and what identities can virtual spaces have in respect of the monuments of the past? Recently,
digital approaches have been applied in many different areas of the humanities, leading to the emergence of a major new cross-disciplinary field that brings together disparate. The digital approach is a common denominator in specialised research and teaching as well as in archival practices,
issemination and publishing. This paper aims to outline a panorama of current research issues, challenges and practices between Digital Humanities and Digital Cultural Heritage, and to present some case studies addressed in the DAda and PLAY Lab at the University of Pavia.
