3-D Survey and Structural Modelling: The Case of the San Giovanni Baptistery in Florence

In 2013 the preliminary interdisciplinary studies for the maintenance of the facades of the Baptistery of Florence included a complete survey of the building. Like in the case of the previous most recent surveys, its geometry was studied with the most up-to-date technologies available. The 3-D model, integrated with the contributions by the other research groups, allowed new hypotheses on its construction and, in particular, a more accurate tuning of the structural models.

Ground Survey: An Integrated Survey for Urban and Architectural Heritage Conservation and Management

Recording is a key activity in the cultural heritage conservation management. Conservation-related information is usually obtained (certainly in the case of this project) from multidisciplinary research activities. In such teams, geomatics build a framework to connect all members’ contributions both in preliminary studies and in project development and applications.
