ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION THROUGH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY OF THE SOUTH FACADE OF “LA LOGGIA” PALACE IN BRESCIA (ITALY)

Even though the coming of the laser-scanning technology opens wide to the architectural survey new applicatory ambits and allows to obtain unthinkable representations with traditional survey methodologies, the digital photogrammetry preserves a series of characteristics which favor her in many applications. The choice about the survey of the south façade of the La Loggia palace in Brescia, born from the will to show the potentialities of a survey technique known and tested for decades in the topographic world, but doesn’t still come into the common usual procedures of the architectural survey. Potentialities in terms of precision and completeness of particulars that the close range digital photogrammetry is able to reach through the most recent hardware/software instrumentation. This application is not limited to the study about the new instrumentations and application ambits, but it also tried to define some restitution methodologies of the survey results, so to build architectural table richest as possible of information, but at the same time easy and clear to read also by users without the knowledges necessary to the interpretation of a traditional architectural table. This project born inside an advanced didactic activity in Brescia University, where from some years the topographic group coordinated from Professor Vassena, mobilize the new generation to look after the cultural heritage in the feature through the architectural photogrammetric documentation
