21002004-3 - ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY

The aim is to teach that the survey has a fundamental role in the knowledge of any architectural monument. The survey helps to clarify the data emerging from research on historical, literary and epigraphic sources, indispensable for a comprehensive approach to the study of the monuments.

Programme

The Survey module aims to provide the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to realize a correct survey of the built: at the scale of the artefact, architecture and the city. The different survey methods - direct, indirect and integrated - and the techniques to be adopted to ensure the correct use of measuring instruments will be exposed. It will also deal with the theory of measurement, methods of analysis of graphic sources and their integration with the information derived from historical documentation.
In order to achieve these objectives, the module provides, together with the activities of the Restoration module, the realization of exercises concerning: the visual survey and the realization of the eidotypes for the survey project, the direct survey and the indirect survey through photogrammetric techniques.

Type of delivery of the course

The didactics will be carried out through frontal lessons for the transmission of theoretical principles related to architectural survey and classroom exercises through which the teacher will guide students to learn specific techniques. The exercises will concern the visual survey for the predisposition of the eidotypes in orthogonal projection on which will be inserted the metric and qualitative information derived from field activities, the taking of measurements with direct method and the indirect survey with photogrammetric techniques (Agisoft Photoscan).

Attendance

Class attendance is mandatory (75% of the total).

Type of evaluation

Oral calls on Teams platform, following delivery of graphic works on Onedrive (in itinere exercises, final digital tables).

Programme

The integrated course of Survey within the Restoration Laboratory is aimed at providing the basis for the measurement and knowledge of the architectural artefact.

The survey is an indispensable phase to understand and study the architecture to be restored, to touch the wall facings, to check its conservative status through photographic campaigns and analysis on the raised prospectuses.

It is indispensable when it comes to historic buildings the knowledge of construction techniques and of geometric information on the molded and ornamentation apparatus as well. Through direct surveying by means of trilaterations and shooting techniques, students will be able to return the work in question, with particular attention to the accessible areas for direct measurements.

The course will therefore be divided into two phases, the first phase aimed at the knowledge and use of the tools for direct metric survey; the second through photomodeling, a direct heir to photogrammetric survey.

Exercises are planned, with deliveries during the course.

Topics covered:

The detection at sight. The eidotypes and the Relief project.

Direct Tracking Techniques.

RDF for photo-straightening.

Relief aimed at restoration.

The instrumental survey. Techniques and tools.

Use of Photography. The relief from photos.

Introduction to Photoscan

Type of delivery of the course

The course aims to deepen the themes of architectural and urban survey, through lectures and practical applications on site. It will include: frontal lessons, exercises, fieldwork and group work. During the fieldworks the methods of direct and photogrammetric digital detection will be experimented, through working groups of three or four people. In the classroom, the process of processing the data acquired during the campaign phase will be addressed. Topics covered: Introduction to Architectural Survey The Survey Techniques Survey and Photomodeling Project Processing of Survey data

Attendance

The attendance is mandatory at 75%

Type of evaluation

The final exam takes place through the development of digital sheets on the architectural survey and a notebook of written-graphic notes. Deliveries and evaluations are expected during the year. All the exam sheets of previous years are available on the facebook page Rilievo dell’Architettura. The exam takes place in conjunction with the final exam of the Restoration Laboratory with a discussion on the papers presented and the theoretical contents addressed. Required documents: Trilateration: 1: 100 or 1:50 plant Geometric survey: plans, elevations, sections 1: 100 or 1:50 Architectural survey: plans, elevations, sections 1: 100 or 1:50 Details: 1:20

Programme

We will investigate topics relating to the measure theory and main episodes in the history of the survey will mentioned. Different methods of survey (direct, indirect, integrated) will be discussed, pointing up that the choice of any method should be based on the type of structure, on the period of construction and on final aim of the survey.
All issues concerning the drawing of the data emerging from the survey will be discussed.
In relation to the topics of the “Laboratorio di Restauro”, the module will consist of lectures and practical activities on-site.

Type of delivery of the course

The course, lasting a total of 50 hours, is divided into a 4-hour lesson per week. Frontal lessons are provided on the topics of detection and on the use of software for photogrammetric detection. A fair number of lessons will be held outdoors, during the surveys of the assigned urban fronts. The teacher will follow each group indicating how to proceed for the detection of the facades and architectural details. The revisions on the drawings will be an opportunity to further deepen the topics exposed in class and correctly orient the students' work.

Attendance

Compulsory attendance for at least 75% of the hours

Type of evaluation

The learning verification will take place through the discussion of the graphics, drawn up following the reviews carried out with the teacher. The student must describe the detection methods adopted, both direct and indirect, and demonstrate that he has acquired the ability to integrate, in the study of the historical buildings assigned, the elements taken from the bibliography and iconographic sources with the data obtained from the measurements carried out, and therefore present reasonable assumptions about the transformation phases that have taken place over the centuries. Furthermore, the drawings made must demonstrate the acquired ability to graphically describe the peculiar aspects of the buildings studied, the conservation status, the construction materials, the detailed elements, or all those elements useful for the execution of the subsequent restoration project. The works to be presented will be: hand drawings made on site for direct detection, suitably inserted in a special collector; a minimum number of two tables relating to the surveyed urban front (one that contains the most significant hand drawings and one to the CAD with elaborations in 1: 100 scale and details up to the scales agreed with the teacher); a minimum number of two tables relating to the project building (one that contains the most significant hand drawings and one to the CAD with drawings on a scale of 1: 100 and details up to the stairs agreed with the teacher).
