Università Roma Tre

The course will address, through experiences on significant cases, in the archaeological and architectural field, the different methodologies of 3D survey(direct, photogrammetric, laser scanning) integrated with each other. Critical methodologies and stratigraphic analysis, applied to the case studies, will be introduced.
In the gis system module for restoration, these analyses will be systematised in a geographic information system.

This course is an introduction to GIS. The aim is to provide basic knowledge on the use of
software to manage Information Systems in the project of restoration of cultural heritage.
Below the main topics discussed:
• GIS, Information Systems and Restoration;
• Cartography, Georeferencing;
• Vector and Raster Graphics Elements;
• Gis for urban restoration, examples of Constantine, Castrovirreyna, Izalco, Rione Monti;
• Information systems for restoration and archeology, archiving and management.
