Abstract:

- This paper grants the results of a research movement aimed at studying urban areas by means of at all sensed hyperspectral data developed over the city of Rome. The arrangement of remotely sensed images allowed us to identify dissimilar spectral classes referred to materials used for construction roofs and to deduce contemplations on how the use of building techniques and materials has evolved in space and time, or the architectural composition of building volume. In individual, the classification shows how roof covers reflect a definite epoch and how the construction style, combined over the centuries, granted the privilege to use local materials until the 19th century. From the 19th century forwards, there is a period when unapproved buildings and urbanization were rampant, with an undiscerning and chaotic use of materials like bituminous surfaces, crenelated iron roofing sheets and so on.
