This use case is built on photogrammetric close-range acquisitions performed via UAV over the roofs of the centre of Bethlehem, in order to map the water tanks for civilian use that create loads on historical buildings in a seismic area. The urban census was conducted within "3D Bethlehem. Management and control of urban growth for the development of Heritage and Improvement of life in the city of Bethlehem", a project promoted by AICS. The presented work leverages the project dataset to train Deep Learning models on a Cloud Infrastructure handling model lifecycle from training to deployment. Tests were conducted on historical buildings that show, among objects of interest, multiple spurious elements such as debris and junk. Such density creates complex scenarios for models that are trained to automate recurrent operations to assist large scale monitoring and management of the areas for different teams and municipalities.

Among the tombs of the open-air funerary complex, located in the very historic core of the city, the arks
of Cangrande I, Mastino II and Cansignorio stand out for their magnificence. Mastino II Della Scala, who ruled from 1329 to 1351, chose the current area as the family’s graveyard and its Ark is arguably the most important of the complex. It constitutes a singularity not only for its remarkable decorative apparatus, but also for its role of powerful communication tool in the urban context. Structural criticalities and material issues prompted the start of a knowledge process that aims at supporting restoration practices on the monument, but goes beyond that by proposing an innovative strategy for its valorisation based on a serious game. The research established a digital documentation protocol for the monument, achieving a high level of completeness without harming its precarious state of conservation. Then, from the results achieved, the activities pursued a virtuous process of dissemination in order to valorise one of the most important witnesses of the history of Verona.

Some of these units have been studied and detected to create means of enhancing the historical landscape. The aim is to collect and catalogue, in a census form, the identity characteristics of these small worlds that tell stories of contamination and constructive events between East and West. Thanks to degrees and research programs between the University of Pavia, students perform data collection and 3D modelling operations on buildings that are still considered to be “of little value” to promote a reflection on the importance of these urban realities. Digital technologies at the service of documentation of the historical architectural
heritage become useful tools through which it is possible to accomplish actions of synthesis that are useful for the construction of models. The design of the minor city that has no monuments or emergencies, if conducted with particular attention
to the story of the imperfections and unique qualities of each building, is capable of promoting the identity of the place. The history, the events, and the manners of the place are reflected in the model, which is an expression of western thought applied to an oriental reality. The drawings and models of this article express a multiple roundtrip value of languages between east and west in the construction of a virtual landscape that crosses borders to become a common mean for the enhancement and protection of the historic city.

CONNETTERE un disegno per annodare e tessere, 42° CONVEGNO INTERNAZIONALE DEI DOCENTI DELLE DISCIPLINE DELLA RAPPRESENTAZIONE CONGRESSO DELLA UNIONE ITALIANA PER IL DISEGNO ATTI 2020, 2020

L’intento è di ricucire, attraverso il disegno e la rappresentazione, un legame storico che ha qualificato numerose città costiere per secoli governate dalla Serenissima. Mediante l’uso delle tecnologie digitali vengono sperimentati processi e metodi utili alla definizione di banche dati nelle quali raccogliere informazioni circa l’immagine e lo stato di conservazione di tale patrimonio. La costituzione di atlanti descrittivi, utili alla promozione di questi luoghi, e la realizzazione di mostre ed eventi finalizzati ad alimentare un dibattito internazionale su possibili azioni di recupero sono alcuni degli obiettivi del progetto. L’aggiornamento della conoscenza sulle opere d’architettura militare veneziana d’oltremare richiede lo sviluppo di un percorso metodologico volto a qualificare modelli e processi per la diffusione, la comunicazione e la valorizzazione di tale patrimonio. Il contributo descrive alcuni risultati della prima esperienza, condotta sul territorio della Dalmazia e del Montenegro, avviata da un gruppo di Università italiane e si concentra maggiormente sull’esperienza relativa alla documentazione delle Bocche di Cattaro, condotta da ricercatori dell’Università di Pavia. Attraverso l’analisi delle architetture fortificate, dei sistemi costruttivi e della storia che ha interessato tali strutture, viene così costruito un archivio digitale dal quale poter comprendere ciò che resta dell’importante opera veneziana per il controllo delle terre d’oltremare.

FORTMED 2020. Defensive Architecture of the Mediterranean. vol X, pp. 415 - 422, 2020

For several centuries, Cartagena fortifications have been at the forefront of Spanish military technologies. This site became the scene of action of the main military engineers at the service of the Spanish crown. In 1586 Battista Antonelli received from King Philipe II the task to design this monumental defensive system. The first project for the Cartagena wall enclosure (1595) is due to Battista and it was continued and modified by his nephew Cristoforo Roda. Nowadays, Antonelli walls still fit into the urban fabric of the city and delineate the perimeter of the historic city. The research project follows the previous research experiments conducted by the Lab DAda-LAB of the University of Pavia in the territory of Panama for the study of the Antonelli fortifications systems of Portobello and San Lo-renzo del Chagres. It concerned an extensive action aimed at the documentation and to the study of the entire fortified system of the historic center of Cartagena. The perimeter walls of the old city and the fort of San Felipe de Barajas have been documented through the use of a mobile laser scanner that uses SLAM technology, evaluating the most effective performed strategies for fast survey activities. In parallel, a more specific action was conducted on the portion of the Baluarte of Santa Catalina walls, where it was possible to give a comparison between different methods and instruments, in order to verify the reliability of the 3D databases. Analysis protocols have been developed for the documentation and study of the defensive system. The paper will highlight the construction technologies that qualify the fortresses of Cartagena de Indias and the results obtained by the comparison between different data acquisition technologies to evaluate the quality of the models for the development of documentation strategies for heritage enhancement and protection.

analysed and declined through a reflection, which aims to define reliable databases and representative instruments in wide different territorial contexts. The internationalization of research takes place through some on-site applications, conducted on culturally different and geographically distant contexts and case studies. In such cases, the drawing must respond to the complex need of representing historical architectural heritages spread among Latin America, Europe and Middle East.

In fact, the need to process heterogeneous information, referring to quantity, quality and format is one of the main emerging issues. Recent technologies of digitalization of our built environment offer excellent performances on data reliability and time of acquisition. On the other side, they bring about new challenges regarding how to define methodologies and strategies to effectively elaborate such information.
A possible way to optimize the use of these data is by implementing them into informative systems: these tools have great potential in the creation of multi-layered representations and offer extensive possibilities for interpretations and analyses.
This research, carried out by the laboratories DAdaLab and PLAY of the University of Pavia, focuses on the University’s Palazzo Centrale and aims at developing a precise methodological approach: starting from the 3D acquisition, the survey data are discretized – through critical processes of semantic analysis and breakdown – and later implemented into informative databases.
Moreover, the architectural characters, construction phases and the strong bond with the urban setting make the case study particularly valuable; therefore, it represents an excellent opportunity to point out the potentials of this approach to the definition of management tools for the conservation of built heritage.

PREMESSA SUL RILIEVO ARCHEOLOGICO Lo studioso dell'architettura è senza dubbio attratto dallo studio dell'antico. Questa ricerca è sempre stata svolta sia con l'ausilio di fonti storiche e letterarie, sia mediante la conoscenza diretta dei resti della pro-duzione architettonica del passato, mediante il disegno e la rilevazione. Come dimostrano gli studi degli umanisti rinascimentali del quindicesi-mo secolo, artisti e architetti documentavano con schizzi, misurazioni e
