We started with a preliminary assessment of the exhibition, focussing on possible acquisition constraints - time, space, and materials - and related solutions. Then, we proceeded with the creation of the digital twin by acquiring, processing, modelling, optimising, exporting, metadating, and uploading the exhibition. We adopted a hybrid use of two distinct acquisition techniques, i.e. structured light projection scanning and photogrammetry, to create new digital cultural heritage objects and environments, and we used open technologies, formats and protocols to make available the final digital product. We described the process to collect and curate bibliographical (meta)data of the exhibition and digital twin creation process to foster its findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability.

This contribution is based on the hypothesis that the narration around the value of the cultural and creative disciplines in academia needs to be critically reviewed. This path of observation, mapping, narration, and visualisation resulted in being consistent with the critical role that cultural and creative disciplines have played at the University of Bologna since the 1970s; by developing unprecedented educational models and impacting the territory through the generation of new economic models and the development of a diverse system of cultural and creative industries. The methodological approach of the research is based on a comparative analysis of the main documents regulating the cultural and creative economy on the international, national, and regional levels. The second stage of the research process was built on an explorative strategy based on desk analysis to create the dataset. The question arose about how to make a database accessible to a broader audience: the conclusions show that data visualisations, as a creative tool, can enable story-doing processes and thus create awareness and value.

Un workshop per prendersi cura della zona U" held in March 2019 in Bologna, and the project of urban regeneration of Piazza Rossini, co-developed by students and professionals during the Self-construction workshop workshop "Le Cinque Piazze" held in September 2019. The data represent the design proposals for temporary urban transformations, developed during the workshop Le Cinque Piazze, by the students of the Architecture and Advanced Design students of the University of Bologna. The 24 students involved worked together with the University of Bologna – Architecture Department researchers, the Municipality of Bologna staff, Foundation for Urban Innovation and Fondazione Rusconi staff. Data can be used by both university researchers (as methodology to be replicated in similar workshops) or by city ...
