Aims :

The aim of the course is to provide an overall framework of knowledge of the most widely used surveying techniques, from traditional to instrumental and automatic methods. Above all, using this knowledge of techniques and methods, the student must learn how to coordinate even complex operations of architectural surveying, and must be able to identify the specialists required to carry out correctly the various phases of work in order to reach the final target. Moreover, with specific practical sessions the student will be taught how to carry out in person the basic operations of mapping and of a simple elevation with a “quick photogrammetry” method which gives precise measurements and is easy to use.

Topics :

The course covers the following topics dealt with in “ex cathedra” lectures with the aid of audio-visual material:
- General concepts and theoretical foundations of architectural surveying;
- An outline of measurement theory;
- Surveying methods: direct, instrumental, photogrammetry, automatic;
- New computer technology for surveying;
- Legislation for surveying, graphics and standard symbols.
Laboratory-assisted practical group work to be carried out during course hours on the following two topics:
- Mapping of a simple group of buildings using a direct method;
- Survey of an elevation with a method of “quick photogrammetry” ( Photographic rectification)
At the end of the practical session graphics will be drawn up which will be analysed and evaluated during the oral examination.
