Abstract

The steady development of graphic representation’s methods has been possible due to tools and techniques mostly belonging to their time: the
evolution of the architecture “story telling” is still in progress, establishing the foundation of every project information and communication strategy.
The pervasive information processing operated by computers, through graphical and textual digital contents, led to a rediscovery of traditional approaches to depict the built space, declining them to new technologies in order to amplify their possibilities and values.
This happened to stereoscopy, common method adopted in photography since the 19th century to render the spatial perception through the binocular vision and today easily consistent with threedimensional models and digital images captured by special cameras.
This paper aims to investigate the features, benefits and criticality of stereoscopic immersive communication in the modern architecture of the project.
