The Veronese fortified site, a UNESCO heritage site, has in recent years been the subject of important digital documentation, unique in the Verona area. The research was an opportunity to verify a process whose technological developments in the field of heritage documentation have offered significant opportunities for the survey of architecture both in the metric data acquisition phase and in representation and dissemination. The study is part of the research project "Verona Fortificata", born in 2015 thanks to the collaboration between the Universities of Florence and Pavia and the Municipality of Verona. The aim is to focus on what has been obtained from a sort of "resulting product" of the classical survey and the consequent possibility of its use to provide preliminary but essential data for the Municipality's assessment of the actual Buffer Zone of the UNESCO site, of the visual impact of both the monument and the extraneous elements that are nevertheless part of the context.

Abstract. This paper describes the digital survey activities carried out in Brazil, in the state of São Paulo, in order to document historical architectures and his vernacular features. After introducing the researches performed in Brazil in the last years, the Brazilian state-of-art of architecture is summarised, so that it is possible to understand the complexities and the referential typological and cultural models. Typical Paulistano vernacular building techniques are thereafter deepened, before outlining the case-study of the Jesuit mission of Carapicuiba, one of the few rammed earths building in existence in São Paulo. Quick digital survey techniques, like aerial photogrammetry, make possible for architects and scholars to rapidly record the building’s morphology and state of preservation, for future cultural heritage conservation. Research findings permitted to update the settlement’s survey data, specifically the ones linked to surfaces, colors, and materials.
