By dealing with archaeological surveying methods, the attention is focused on the digital survey technologies used, integrating data from laser scanner instruments with photogrammetric ones. The morphological base was necessary for the preparation of stratigraphic analyses, and allowed us to check the previous studies carried out on the building to extract a periodized planimetry. Finally, the digital drawing technologies have allowed us to hypothesize the schematic evolutionary models of the different phases of the building, and to use the digital survey to create a virtual platform through which to interact with the archaeological site, which is now closed to visitors.

This paper aims to show some documentation experiences of the territory, through different techniques of digital survey and graphic representation, which, starting from the survey, develop with different purposes: on the one hand the project for the documentation of the basin area of the streams that flow into the Fiumetto, a watercourse between Pietrasanta and Forte dei Marmi, which aims to experiment modern digital surveying techniques on the coastal landscape of Versilia to use the data for hydraulic modeling; the vastness of the area to be surveyed requires high reliability at sufficiently detailed restitution scales (1:100), with the aim of creating a three-dimensional model of points from which to

extract the morphology of the watercourses and the various crossings, in order to provide hydraulic engineers with all the tools useful for simulating on hydraulic software the flooding scenarios; on the other the documentation project of the system of routes within the municipality of Garfagnana with the aim of enhancing and promoting the route, not only from the point of view of historical preservation but also from future tourist use. To make this possible the University of Florence collaborates with Italian Cycling Federation, in the belief that the care of widespread cycling routes can make the most of the territory, also correctly responding to the current needs of environmental sustainability. The proposal to recover ancient routes and medieval and sixteenth-century bridges is to be considered foundational: there is the possibility of bringing out an impressive number of architecturally important structures to cross and visit along the route.

The Mexican monuments protection agency (INAH) has started a laser scanner survey of the main buildings of the heritage at risk. The DiDA Survey Laboratory, which for years has experience both in the field of architectural surveying of monuments damaged by earthquakes, started, through the Italian Embassy and the UNAM of the City of Mexico, to document some sample cases. In March 2018 a digital surveying campaign was carried out that involved the urban fronts of a block of the historic center of Mexico City, between the Plaza Mayor and the archaeological site of the Templo Major, where it was the ancient Azteca capital of Tenochtitlan, until the Spanish conquest, built over the lake of Texcoco with palified structures; its elevated position, on strongly seismic mountains at a height of more than 2000 meters, and the geological characteristics, built on a lacustrine area above the remains of the foundations of the Aztec temples, make the buildings built on it very vulnerable. The paper analyzes the theme of methods of using digital surveys for the conservation and restoration of architecture; in the urban case, paying particular attention to the analysis of the plastic deformations and of the resistant structures, in order to evaluate the value of misalignment of the fronts of the buildings from the vertical plane and the interactions between masonries of different building units. In the case study related to Heritage, instead, attention was focused on the documentation, on the analysis of the structural conservation status, on the identification and classification of the cracks, on the verification of the main structural instabilities, and on the states of collapse. The project, still in the process of completion, presents interesting ideas for assessing and classifying risk in historic centers and in asset-value environments. The documents produced have two different purposes: on the one hand, to provide local administrations with a document through which they can establish the degree of risk that buildings incur in relation to preventive analyzes on the study of deformations; as for the monastery, instead, the construction of a structural consolidation project preliminary to the necessary architectural restoration.

The path of knowledge undertaken in the documentation of the structures, which are no w in a state of ruin, are aimed at analyzing the superficial and structural conservative state of the fortress. The survey operations were carried out using the most recent digital instruments: laser scanner, aerial photogrammetry and ground photogrammetry. The resulting three-dimensional model, highly reliable, was useful for carrying out analyzes on the structure, from morphological to diagnostic and structural ones. A careful mapping of the cracking framework was performed and through the analysis of the real based models coming from the relief of the wall deformations; the cognitive overview has made it possible to clarify the state of structural conservation of the building.

During the Renaissance the fortified perimeter of the city was considerably enlarged, both because of the will of the Lords of Piombino, the Appiani, to build a fortified citadel, deeming the previous urban palace inadequate for the ruling family, and to improve the defenses by land with the construction of a rivellino in front of the north door and of a fortress to the east. The defenses, conquered by Valentino's troops in 1502, were redesigned by Leonardo da Vinci, as documented in the pages of Code II of Madrid, which contains drawings and calculations for the construction of the works. The present project, started in April 2018, plans to carry out an accurate digital survey of fortifications, in order to provide the basis for graphic documentation on which to base further cognitive investigations, from archaeological ones to diagnostic ones. The survey operations were carried out with today's digital technologies, laser scanners and cameras, creating reliable point clouds and three-dimensional models mapped with texture, from which to extract 2D drawings. The study of the sources, of the texts of Leonardo's scholars and accurate archaeological investigations will provide the opportunity to further analyze Leonardo's intervention on the still existing structures.

After introducing the researches performed in Brazil in the last years, the Brazilian state-of-art of architecture is summarised, so that it is possible to understand the complexities and the referential typological and cultural models. Typical Paulistano vernacular building techniques are thereafter deepened, before outlining the case-study of the Jesuit mission of Carapicuiba, one of the few rammed earths building in existence in São Paulo. Quick digital survey techniques, like aerial photogrammetry, make possible for architects and scholars to rapidly record the building's morphology and state of preservation, for future cultural heritage conservation. Research findings permitted to update the settlement's survey data, specifically the ones linked to surfaces, colors, and materials.

Il governo del Messico, a seguito di tali eventi, ha richiesto l’intervento internazionale a sostegno della ricostruzione post sisma, ed in particolare l’aiuto per conservare e restaurare gli edifici di interesse patrimoniale. L’Unione Europea ha risposto favorevolmente ed ha finanziato la mobilità di esperti da diversi paesi per valutare i danni causati e i metodi di intervento sul costruito1. In questo scenario è iniziata la collaborazione tra il DiDA dell’Università degli studi di Firenze e l’UNAM, con un progetto di ricerca che prevede l’utilizzo delle moderne tecniche di rilievo digitale per la documentazione speditiva e la valutazione dello stato di conservazione strutturale degli edifici di carattere storico2, riprendendo un tema che aveva fortemente interessato il nostro paese dopo il terremoto aquilano3. In particolare, in questo contributo, si vuole raccontare l’esperienza nella documentazione del Monastero di Totolapan, nello stato di Morelos, non distante dall’epicentro del sisma e fortemente danneggiato, al punto da non essere agibile per la comunità. Questo monastero rappresenta uno dei più antichi modelli delle missioni evangelizzatrici che dal XVI secolo si sono diffuse sul territorio messicano con il fine di convertire le popolazioni locali: caratteristiche che hanno fatto sì che dal 1994 Totolapan, altri dieci monasteri dello stato di Morelos, ed altri tre dello stato di Puebla, fossero inseriti dal 1994 nelle liste del Patrimonio Unesco, sotto la dicitura “Primi monasteri del XVI secolo alle pendici del Popocatepetl”.

This research is based on the hypothesis of using modern digital surveying technologies to try to recognize, together with the analyzes conducted on historical-documentary sources and through the reliable archaeological analyzes and the analysis of the stratigraphies that the wall surfaces present, the portions that currently survive of what could have been the fortified system of the town in the early sixteenth century. These results were finally compared with Leonardo da Vinci's drawings that illustrate the surveys and projects for the defenses of the Lordship of Piombino obtaining several interesting findings.

This research explores visualisation techniques (e.g., motion graphics, 3D animation, Non-Photorealistic Rendering) to empower the study of depicted objects in Renaissance treatises on architecture and engineering. The aim is to pioneer a method that can be adopted by both scholars in the humanities and practitioners in animation to 1) take advantage of available editions and scholarship via interactive online systems (e.g., Engineering Historical Memory); 2) map and decode visual information and knowledge embodied in manuscripts; 3) create philologically correct 3D models and storytelling to unfold narratives embedded in drawings. As a showcase, this paper used Francesco di Giorgio Martini's drawings of the Corinthian capital in the manuscripts Ashburnham 361 (Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence) and Saluzzo 148 (Musei Reali, Turin).
