Rilievo, misura e qualità. Questioni sul metodo

Evaluation and preservation of cultural is inextricably connected with the innovative processes of gaining, managing and using knowledge. The continuous technological advancement offer new research tools easily applied to science for acquiring and elaborating models. The term “digital building recording technologies” may infer collection of accurate and efficient dimensional data, but in actuality a building’s size is often not the only focus for the knowledge and then for the project with a preservation or conservation. 2D and 3D models contain heterogeneous information that may be equally important in the context of preserving or conserving an architectural heritage. They include cultural resource data: dimension, information on construction, evidence of architectural modification; material characteristics, color; etc. The interaction of technologies can provide reliable and accurate metric data for use in the building documentation process. The most complete record of existing conditions combines accurate dimensional data with the cultural significance and material condition to achieve the most profound knowledge of the object analyzed.
