Graziano Mario Valenti is Associate Professor in the Department of History, representation and restoration of architecture at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". In 2014 he obtained the national scientific qualification to function as Full Professor in Italian Universities. His research activities - divided into theoretical, design, implementation and testing of experimental models - is focused on the application of new digital technologies to the disciplines of the survey, drawing and visual communication, with the aim of anticipating future operating scenarios and solve today application problems. Subject of special study, which crosses all his research, is the definition and representation of an integrated and dynamic model that consists by heterogeneous information. The most recent essays focus on issues of interactive virtual representation, rendering and digital parametric modeling.
