From "Encyclopédie" Plates to visual knowledge for craftsmen: the Project Visuoplanches

The plates are the necessary complement of technical and scientific explanations, a new form of knowledge of science and technology. Visual representation completes the effort of terminology in order to fix technical knowledge and to provide a much more powerful model for the dissemination of it. Thanks to the project Visuoplanches it could be possible to restore the importance of the dialogue between conceptual visualisation and terminology of the arts. This path would be effective in storytelling of all arts and crafts, showing European traditions and theirs roots in our culture and work history.
