The target of the research is the development of an efficient methodology in order to avoid the often visible dichotomy between detailed and large scale documentation and offer instead a geographic framework to architectural and archaeological drawings: this should trigger new questions about the investigated archaeological evidences, well defined in time and space from ancient times till present days.
Being able to measure different and contextual universes, from a single wall or an architecture and arriving to large areas and landscapes, and put them together, as a system, in space and time, should be the biggest contribution, from a multidisciplinary research staff, to understand the space we’re living in.
As an example of our method we illustrate some recent research activities.

New research activities are being promoted by the Archaeological Park of Agrigento with contributions from several Italian universities as well as from other countries. The archaeological investigation of the so-called upper Agorà, directed by Bari's Politecnico and University of Catania, consists of rebuilding the architecture that once characterised the ancient urban landscape of this area. E. Brienza and M. Liuzzo, from Enna's Kore University, have focused their collaborative efforts on a new analysis of evidence linked to the ancient street patterns. Through this collaboration, a new image of Agrigento's planning scheme has been produced that is quite different from the previously suggested one by Griffo and Schmidt in 1958.

The archaeological excavations at the north-east slopes
of Palatine Hill in Rome, carried out by the chair of
Metodologie della ricerca archeologica of the Sapienza,
Università di Roma, started in 2001, alongside previous
excavations at the Meta Sudans, which begun in 1986:
from then till now it’s almost 30 years of research
activity.
The results of these investigations are extremely
important for the knowledge of ancient Rome and its
development during the centuries: this knowledge is
supported by a solid and rigorous documentation and
interpretation of an urban stratigraphy almost unique for
the centre of Rome.
The long and accurate work of identification and
interpretation gave light to several archaeological
contexts, clear for place and time, and has developed a
complete site-model from the 8th century b.C. till today.
