The Chronographs web application allows users to construct visual translations of a human expert's analysis based on a set of material or documentary clues. It is founded on a diachronic analysis model - using cause-and-effect analysis to identify the changes made to an object over time (transformations) and the state of the object resulting from these transformations.
The visualisation system does not refer to the morphology of the objects. It leads the analyst of historical clues relating to a building to formalise an evolution scenario, and to visualise and contextualise it over time, encouraging intersubjective discussion.
These diagrams of evolutionary scenarios can then be compared - a search for evolutionary ‘patterns’. Their role, as visual reasoning tools, is both to assist the analyst in his thinking (visual synthesis of his own study) and to facilitate exchange and discussion (visual clarification of an individual interpretation path, which the graph highlights for others).
The interface language is English.

The SESAMES convolutor is a web tool that allows interactive discovery of the acoustic spaces in the corpus of chapels studied as part of the SESAMES research programme (project ANR-18-CE38-0009-01).
A key outcome of the SESAMES research is an innovative survey protocol, which lead to the production of spatial data (3D point clouds), architectural data (typologies, proportion ratios, ...) and acoustic data (quantitative indicators such as reverberation time, bass ratio, ...). This survey protocol was repeated systematically on a corpus of fifteen comparable buildings (rural chapels in south-eastern France).
The convolutor uses the impulse responses calculated from the in situ recordings, and soundscapes, to recreate the sound ambience of these spaces and project its own voice in real time. In addition to the sound ambience, there is also a visual ambience, with interactive 360° panoramas recorded on the same day and in the same positions. The playback is spatialised: using the arrow keys on the keyboard users move from one point to another, and the pointer can be used to turn around.
A first version of this tool was finalized in 2023, used by MAP and PRISM laboratories in various mediation situations, and modified and extended in 2024.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The repository is organised as a simple list of thumbnails with very short textual description. Its role is to provide a quick visual access to various results of research actions, available online as end-products (videos for instance) or as operational interactive web content.
I. Dudek, M. Boussekine, P. Bénistant
The Website contains information on the objectives of the MEMORIA project, people involved in the project, institutional collaborations, financial support, publications and the list of terms and concepts adopted and used in the project (information updates).
Amendments introduced in 2023:
- modifications to the 'objectives' section (user interactions),
- modifications to the 'team' section (correction/adaptation of the interface and the structure of the database to allow the display of several periods of activity for each person and the differentiation of a person's status),
- changes to the 'vocabulary' section (display of references to definitions of terms - links from the 'memoria-ref' database),
- change of server, redirection of information retrieved from two databases to a single database,
- updating of system information.

Games made up of interlocking physical pieces using different visual content produced as part of the SESAMES project.
Three different games made up of jigsaw or tangram-type pieces, combining visual content relating to the different sites in the SESAMES corpus (fifteen rural chapels in the PACA region). The visual content includes detailed photographs, 360° panoramas, sections of buildings, coats of arms of communes and QR codes linking to online sites.
These games have been designed as part of the preparations for the “Fête de la science” and “visites insolites” event organised for the general public as a follow-up to the ANR SESAMES project.
The aim of the games is to offer a non-digital form of mediation to complement the 'on-screen' formats, a form more open to group activities, but in the same spirit of discovery of small-scale heritage sites that animated the event.
Each of these games is an original creation, tested at the event, but likely to be reused at a later date.

CNRS general public event - " Visites insolites " and " fête de la science" initiatives held in the rural commune of Puyloubier (concerned by the SESAMES project experiments).
Integration into the ANR SAPS 2023 programme (DR 12 CNRS)
Outline: "Discover the acoustic and visual characteristics of small Provençal religious buildings, in the exceptional setting of the former Sainte-Marie church in Puyloubier (winner of the departmental "Rubans du Patrimoine" award). Sound, vision and serious gaming are combined in the various workshops proposed. “
architectural quiz, sound immersion, comparative chronologies, spatial-acoustic simulation, association games, assembly games, etc.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
This quiz is an edutainment component associated to the Territographie exploratory research programme conducted by UMR 3495 CNRS/MC MAP (Models and Simulations for Architecture and Heritage) and the MUCEM (Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée) - Agriculture and Food Unit, with the support of the PACA region between 2015 and 2018.
The illustrations, explanatory notes and descriptions of the objects make use of part of the collections of the MUCEM's agriculture and food section, under the responsibility of E. De Laubrie: the objects listed for the "Provence" area. The level of detail in the descriptions of these items is still fairly heterogeneous: they cover a collection period of more than a century, and the purpose of this quiz is simply to highlight them.
The technical platform used was developed within UMR MAP as part of the ANR SESAMES project and its 'ontologies' component. It is used primarily for two learning games based on architectural vocabulary: the quizzmaker platform and its version focusing on the architecture of the Chartreuse de Villeneuve lez Avignon, national centre for performance writing.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The "architectural vocabulary" quiz is an edutainment version of a research initiative carried out as part of the ANR SESAMES project on its "ontologies" component.
It is based on a reference work, both in terms of the basic definitions of the guide mode and as a source of methodological inspiration: the principles of scientific analysis by J.M Pérouse de Montclos (in their current edition, Architecture, Description et vocabulaire méthodique).
Some of the content produced is made available online as 'open data' (Creative Commons CC BY NC ND licence): terms and definitions pointing to architectural concepts, illustrations using instances, simplified set of relationships between items. This textual content (definitions, references, etc.) and visual content (photographs or schematics) will eventually be accessible via independent entry points to the quiz.
The current version of the "architectural vocabulary" quiz focuses on the architecture of the Chartreuse de Villeneuve lez Avignon, national centre for performance writing: the images proposed were all taken in and around the Chartreuse with the support of its team.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The repository is organised as a simple list of thumbnails with identification of the architectural interior concerned. Its role is to provide a quick visual access to the online panoramas, available online. It contains 19 panoramas, corresponding to the project’s corpus (15 rural chapels) plus 4 “bonus tracks” (punctual experimentations).

Chronographs are designed in order to allow analysts to describe and visualise architectural changes. They build on a description framework that focuses on the way artefacts get transformed, with a grid of notions giving the analysts the means to date, describe and order events/facts/elements of context that we consider meaningful in the understanding of the artefact’s transformations. Chronographs is in fact the name given to a set of graphics, composed of different visualizations:
- Diachrograms present the evolution of an artefact along a time axis that positions transitions, states, and causality assessments along the time scale.
- Variograms summarize visually types and intensities of changes under three broad families of changes: morphology, structure, function.
Chronographs prove efficient in performing reasoning tasks – in particular they help analysts laying down and ordering in time sequences their vision of what the historical evidence says. The tool is proof-of-concept web Information System, in open access in consultation mode, eventually usable in indexing mode on the basis of user accounts (development in progress).
This portal provides access to the results of data analysis and information on the successive transformations/evolution of 15 rural chapels studied in the framework of the SESAMES project (Project ANR-18-CE38-0009-01).
Three modes of objects selection are provided: by text, by image and by localisation (through a cartographic interface). Then the tool allows various interactions with visual representation of artefacts evolution: display of dates, of information about historical context, references on which the hypothesis are based, alternative names of an object under consideration, etc.
The tool has been fitted with a visual user guide and a detailed description of the theoretical model o which it is based.
For the moment the website is only accessible in a lecture mode.
The language of the interface is English. The data and information presented in the visualizations depend upon the context of the work and are therefore provided in English or French.

The "architectural vocabulary" quiz is an edutainment version of the work carried out by the UMR MAP and LIFAT in the framework of the ANR SESAMES project around its "ontologies" component.
It is a training game, available as a classic web interface and as a mobile phone application, through which the user must associate a term with an image, and in doing so can become more familiar with the vocabulary of architecture.
Part of the content produced will be published online as "open data" (Creative Commons CC BY NC ND licence): terms and definitions pointing to architectural concepts, illustrations by instances, simplified set of relations between items. The "architectural vocabulary" quiz is based on a reference work : J.M Pérouse de Montclos’ “Les principes d'analyse scientifique” (Principles of Scientific Analysis). The development of the quiz is based on the notion of reusability in order to propose applications to other knowledge sets.

The MEMORIA 'sandbox' allows potential users of the MEMORIA IS to try out the system and to explore the notions of output, composition, publication, processes and activities, or expertise. The other functionalities of the IS are disabled.
It is designed as a "hands on" platform that should help users to get a better idea of the principles of the MEMORIA IS and of its interface design. Please note that the sandbox is NOT a workspace. Its content is likely to be reset at the end of each month.
The site is active in indexing, reading, editing and analysis mode.

This portal gives access to the sound tracks recorded in the framework of the SESAMES project (Project ANR-18-CE38-0009-01). It provides two ways of selecting sound tracks (raw data acquired in situ): by a name of an object close to which the sound was recorded and by image representing the place of recording. The tool then enables the user to listen to the chosen sound track and annotate it, associating segments of the sound track with a "type of sound" - natural and man-made sounds. Additionally, some ''perceptual'' indicators are proposed, allowing the user to translate his or her interpretation of the distance to the sound, or the movement of the sound.
The site is accessible in both lecture and annotation mode.
The language of the interface is English.

A video demonstration of the MEMORIA prototype, through which a practical solution for the formalization and intersubjective description of research flows is tested. The prototype has been designed and developed within the UMR 3495 MAP, and should allow the results of our work to be described, recorded and archived in a structured manner. It is therefore not a question of saving or describing files containing results, but of identifying, structuring and preserving information on the objectives, choices and context of the creation of these results.
The video presents an overview of the objectives and main features of the prototype, prepared for a special session of the EGC 2022 conference (Conférence francophone sur l'Extraction et la Gestion des Connaissances, Blois), dedicated to software and research prototype demonstrations.

A DIY (Do It Yourself) that can be used to produce for oneself a set of 15 key rings with a city coat of arms on an obverse and a QR code on the reverse of it (printed and laminated). The QR code points to an online immersive panorama of the interior of a rural chapel with sound tracks that are specific to the building under consideration.
Participation in the "Fête de la science" 2020: edutainment-like interventions in schools (A. Néroulidis) presenting early results of the SESAMES research project (MAP / PRISM laboratories - sound and visual data acquired on a corpus of rural chapels).
The interventions include two scenarios:
• Sound / space quiz (associate a sound with a chapel).
• "DIY" holograms: easy-to-to device allowing to use 3D meshes in the form of holograms, based on the combined use of transparent paper folding and of a tablet (L. Bergerot).

Online immersive panoramas of interiors created for 15 rural chapels (PACA region, France), explored in 2019/2020. Panoramas built from the equirectangular images resulting from the project's survey protocol are published online using the "panolens" javascript library (available online via a standard web browser). They are intended for local, associative, cultural (etc.) actors within the framework of the SESAMES project.
Four panoramas are proposed for each of the fifteen chapels under consideration in the project. Each of these four panoramas corresponds to a given position inside the edifice where sound recordings took place. They are associated with sounds that are specific to the building under consideration - raw recording or simulation (recording of steps inside each chapel, convolution simulations - guitar (composer: Agustín Barrios Mangoré, performer: Adrien Vidal) and piano (composer, performer: S. Fargeot).
The URL given here corresponds to a "template" building.
(Free access to the panoramas is given only after approval of the sites owners.)

Flyers (A4) integrating key pieces of information about a set of 15 rural chapels located in the PACA region. A double-sided PDF document has been produced for each building studied during the autumn and winter 2019/2020. They contain various visual documents (raw or interpreted) summarising the historical data collected on the buildings in the form of a diachrogram and a graph of potential interactions (visual formalisms developed by I. Dudek and JY Blaise).
Each leaflet contains the following pieces of data:
• plan of location,
• 360° photographs of the interior of the chapel,
• abridged plan and section of the chapel,
• schematic view of the edifice’s proportions,
• historic information collected about the chapel represented as a graph of potential interactions,
• chronographs - timeline-like visualizations summarising the chronology of transformation of the edifice (diachrogram and variogram).
An interactive version of the leaflet gives access to :
• bibliography,
• 360 panoramas with sound tracks,
• recording of sound of steps inside the chapel.
Note: This interactive version can be opened using PDF readers like AcrobatReader or FoxitReader - pay attention to the fact that web browsers will prevent parts of the content from opening.

"Spatialisation" – an edutainment-like presentation of the research path adopted in the SESAMES project - correlation of visual and sound data
The team has set up two events:
- An immersive visualisation (360 ° image + sound) through a virtual reality headset - the idea is to immerse users in an edifice and its acoustics (restitution of sound in its environment).
- Sound/space association game, in which the visitor must associate an edifice with its acoustic footprint. Sounds were transmitted via a player and the edifices were represented by printed 360 ° images (Little planet view).

Characterization, capitalization and shared analyses of InfoVis solutions.
The initiative is based on the idea that useful and reusable lessons can emerge from the reading and analysis of classic and recent InfoVis solutions. It therefore wishes to highlight "visual design practice" in a spirit of re-usability.
The repository encompasses old and recent works. Each visualisation is represented by a thumbnail that gives access to larger images and to a PDF/PTTX file where comments, explanations, URL and bibliography are included.
The aim of this initiative is primarily to ensure a lasting and structured access to brief analyses of selected InfoVis solutions, solutions that can be seen as emblematic or exemplary (for better or worse).
The initiative may also be of help as a support for dissemination efforts in a variety of situation ranging from communication to teaching.

A kaleidiascope is an association game in which a series of images and a series of textual labels are displayed in a web page, and that form pairs users must match.
This simple principle is applied to the content gathered in the ‘Different faces of an idea’ collection, featuring European medieval commercial and public-use buildings.
Six kaleidiascopes are proposed through which users can try to match edifices and functions, edifices and cities or countries, etc.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The adddendum gives access to large size versions of the visual content presented in section 4 of the book, entitled Visual analysis of the collection. That section introduces a selection of visualisations, designed as tools for cross-examination and questioning of the data and information sets presented in section 2.
The section is organised as a sort of vis à vis dialogue between a common sense question or assertion (e.g. "recent transformations are better understood than old ones") and a visual answer.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The portal gives access to research material gathered in the preparation of a publication entitled Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow - A visual catalogue (authors: Jean-Yves BLAISE, Iwona DUDEK, Waldemar KOMOROWSKI and Tomasz WECLAWOWICZ, edited by AFM in 2016).
The publication follows several years of interdisciplinary research on Krakow's history and architectural heritage, with a focus on the evolution of the architectural artefacts that occupied the Main Market Square. It combines methodological aspects (defining and formalising the notion of "transformation"), bottom-ground research material (a large amount of historical sources about the edifices under scrutiny), and experimental results (tangible 3Dmodels, visualisations).
Web site content in English and in Polish.

Studying and explaining the architectural heritage: from digital model to physical models
Posted by: Niamh Bhalla, June 26, 2018

The Territographie programme's closing conference day was organised with the goal of
further discussing the notion of citizen-birthed contributions and its various shades.
To do so we included in the programme of the day two invited talks, by M. Noucher and V. Ginouvès.
The former, a CNRS researcher within the UMR 5319 PASSAGES research laboratory, has a proven experience of citizen science applications, in the context of platforms dedicated to geographical data and/or to "naturalist" projects.
His talk, entitled "Citizen-birthed data on territories: the promises of enhanced exchange" helped participants grab the
various nuances behind citizen contributions, through numerous feedbacks from practical case studies.
The latter, a CNRS research engineer within the USR 3125 MMSH, brought a detailed feedback on the building, administration and use of the "phonothèque", the sound archives of the MMSH, containing a large quantity of recordings in close relation with the programme's theme (in particular, oral interviews of craftsmen and craftswomen).
The objective of the day was to allow for transdisciplinary exchanges, in an attempt at:
- clarifying the above mentioned notions,
- taking account of what, inside the "citizen science bubble", remains essentially a promise or a slogan,
- sharing feedback on existing models, methods, and discussing the potential added values of citizen birthed data and information sets.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek, A. Néroulidis
The Territographie project was built in part in acknowledgement of the number of citizen-birthed initiatives, often at local level, in and around "minor heritage" items documentation and preservation.
However such initiatives are definitely widely heterogeneous, and as a consequence there is a necessity to anticipate on how such initiatives could be integrated in a wider information and knowledge production effort.
Hence a series of workshops organised with actors of such initiatives, with as objectives:
- an analysis of their methods of work, of the types of content they publish, as well as of their motivations and expectations in terms of relations with the academic community,
- a discussion on the types of raw data that could be shared for the benefit of all;
- a debate on the potential reuse of the exploratory strands of the research, and on possible common future actions.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
The Territographie project wishes to propose and experiment complementary interaction and indexing modalities, corresponding to different types of contribution:
- a classic "annotation" mode (question-answer mode in relation to a visual document);
- a "post-it" mode through which a contributor can bring a testimony, individual pieces of knowledge, in the form of pieces of data or of links to bibliographic resources / on the web;
- an "expert" mode allowing the contributor to complete / correct fine-grain information on an item (location, chronology, usage, etc.) or even to reference new items.
J.Y. Blaise, I. Dudek
Website of the Territographie project, encompassing the three collections of concern.
The website integrates heterogeneous collections ranging from everyday objects, edifices, to artisanal and commercial practices and gives access to data gathered in three distinct modes:
- exploration mode,
- contribution mode (annotation, information amendement),
- visual analyses (visualization of correlations between places, web resources, geographical factors, etc.).

Project Territographie is dedicated to an experiment of identification, localisation and participative characterization of ‘minor heritage’ in the PACA region (France).
The website relays existing citizen initiatives, and offers interested actors to participate in the creation, enrichment and sharing of scientific data around a ‘minor’ heritage (tools, buildings, places and practices, ...) expression of a territorial identity.
The website of the "Territographie" project presents the project and acts as a portal giving access to three collections inventoried so far allowing exploration, data amendment , addition of new information and sharing existing initiatives.

Experimental device, developed in order to represent changes that occurred on Krakow’s market square over a period of 750 years. The device combines a master board, spatial representations of the artefacts, with a coding of their position on the board and in ordinal time, and a tangible timeline for each artefact with a coding of different types of changes, of durations, as well as of uncertainty (in the dating).
Initially designed for the blind, our first proof-of-concept prototype was then extended to match the requirements of edutainment tasks and tested with various public.
The device was protected by a French patent (FR 09 557 26 07/10/2011)
Digital content of the presentation (series of demos organized chronologically) has been published on-line

Informative modelling applies to the study of historic architecture, where objects have most often been widely transformed, and consequently where what is known about objects remains partial. As a consequence, whereas in traditional architectural modelling a realistic representation of objects is considered as an end, in the informative modelling methodology the representation of architectural objects is used primarily as support for information search and visualisation, reasoning and cognition: it does not strive for realism.

REFLEXION is a logbook we propose in order to write down and perpetuate the observations we make about the use of graphics, yesterday and today, where the fields of information visualisation and of 2D/3D figurative modelling in architecture converge.
Its aims are :
- To underline the emergence, in the field of the architectural heritage, of a modelling method that allows a linkage between artefacts and an evolutionary knowledge about these artefacts, a method that we name informative modelling.
- To foster the adoption of good graphics practices, i.e. using architectural representations in order to investigate visually the data sets related to architectural scenes.
REFLEXION will strive to realize, by means of a regular publication, the paradigm behind informative modelling ¬: produce graphics that contribute to the reflection about our knowledge, and to the reflection of our knowledge.
