Il dato massivo per la conoscenza dell’architettura medievale

Abstract

This study investigates the architectural and archaeological heritage through data acquisition and the creation of representative
models for documentation. Modern digital technologies enhance precision, reduce subjectivity, and integrate quantitative and
qualitative aspects. However, full standardization remains challenging due to the specificity of each case. Advanced techniques like
LIDAR and photogrammetry enable detailed documentation, supporting interdisciplinary analyses and result sharing.
The research focuses on three late-medieval Roman sites: the lower basilica of San Crisogono, the complex of Santa Balbina, and
the atrium of Santa Maria Antiqua. Surveys produced high-resolution 3D models for analyzing spatial, structural, and decorative
elements. By combining digital acquisition with historical and archaeological studies, the project proposes reconstructive
hypotheses and enhances understanding of the sites’ evolution and conservation needs, demonstrating the potential of digital
tools in preserving cultural heritage.

Keywords : Architectural stratification, survey, digital documentation, cultural heritage digitization, integrate modeling.
