The Laboratory aims to introduce the basic information useful to approach, by using appropriate technologies and methodologies the documentation of the architectures and of the urban and environmental spaces.
Fundamental methods and metric survey techniques (2 CFU) will be investigated beside the main direction for a critical analysis of the historical buildings approached at different levels of investigation, from the land towards the architecture scales (1 CFU).
Architectural shape knowledge and the basic principles of the metric survey will be described with a particular focus on the techniques and methodologies useful to approach the largest scale of investigation.
Theoretical fundamentals of both the disciplines will be tested by means of a significant practical test on a specific object: ICT solution to manage, elaborate and represent the survey data will be introduced.

Practical activities (5 CFU) will be developed on a real object (measurements and drawings) and by using LAIB equipments.

The teachers will furnish all the material used during the lessons and related notes about the theoretical arguments approached by using the web site of the Laboratory.
References related to general arguments and deep investigation on specific items will be given by the teachers during the lessons also by considering the specific example examined during the practical phase.

The exam consists on an oral speech between the teachers and the student about the documents produced during the Laboratory (technical reports and graphical results). The student will demonstrate the achieved knowledge both from a theoretical and practical point of view.
