Course contents

The Survey of Architecture Course (32647 - Integrated Course) is an integrated course that combines the Architectural and Urban Survey Course (32648, 6 credits, 72 hour lessons) and the Tools and Methods of Architectural Survey (32649, 2 credits, 24 hour lessons) one.

The aim of the Architectural and Urban Survey Course is to provide knowledge on the theoretical fundaments of survey, on different approaches, methodologies, procedures and on their integrated use. The Course will highlight the different aims of the survey, from documentation, to analysis, to support of recovery and restoration interventions.

Particular attention will be paid on the analysis of case studies, of their context, of their morphological, metric and radiometric characteristics, of their complexity, scale of detail, of the different aims of communication and of the possibilities to represent the surveyed information.

Each survey and representation methodology and technique will be described in its peculiar characteristics and effective potentialities.

Teaching methods

The Course will be organized in lectures and field practice with the purpose of experiencing concepts illustrated during lectures. During these practice, different techniques, technologies and instrument will be tested and used in order to practically compare their different peculiarities, potentialities and integrated use.

The survey practice will be conducted both through group and individual activities.

Assessment methods

The survey, post-processing of data and representation phases will be organized according to a schedule of activities and reviews of the work. These activities and their positive results are mandatory to the admittance to the final exam.

The final exam will be shared between the two Courses (32648-32649) and will consist in:

- discussion on the topics covered during the lessons;

- presentation and discussion of drawings produced during the ongoing exercises.

The final evaluation will be the result of the following points:

- ongoing excercises;

- final group work and drawings;

- individual work and drawings.

Teaching tools

Students will use the instruments, equipment, software and hardware available in the laboratories.

In particular, students will be able to use all the equipments that will be useful during survey campaigns.

They also will be able to use the computer labs for the management of collected data and during the representation step.

At the end of each lesson, the material shown will be available to students on this platform https://elearning-cds.unibo.it/
