Aims :

Students will be taught the technical-scientific bases of architectural survey using the tools of Representation. The Survey of an architectural and/or urban artefact will allow them to understand its geometric-dimensional, constructive and technological aspects as well as its history

Topics :

Basic notions of architectural and urban survey. The history of survey from antiquity to the present day. Theoretical and analytical foundations of survey: measurement theory and methods; measurement tools . Planimetric survey: alignments , trilaterations , open and closed transverses, space intersections, plans and planimetric plans , tachymetric survey. Planimetric survey tools. Altimetric survey: levelling, spot height maps, front views and sections. Altimetric survey tools. Survey methods: direct and indirect (photogrammetric and automatic); historical knowledge of the work being surveyed; selection of the most suitable method in relation to the aim of the survey and method integration (integrated survey). Thematic survey. Sketches : free-hand sketch, planimetric sketche, sketches of front views and sections. Photogrammetry: the vision and perception processes, stereoscopic vision, the model, overview of plotting from stereograms and single photograms. Automatic survey: overview of the relationship between photogrammetry and computer graphics. Programs of rectification from single photograms.

Exam :

A group survey (max 4 students) of an architectural and/or urban artefact (4 plates ) will be carried out during the course. This work will be collected in the form of graphic works , preferably on electronic media. The exam will consist of the evaluation of this work and of the theoretical teaching.

Tutorial Session :

Professor Taus will be available for the students at his d.A.R.D.U.S. office on Wednesdays from 10.30 to 16.30.
