Digital documentation of fortified urban routes in Pavia (Italy): territorial databases and structural models for the preservation of military ruins
[EN] The analysis of the fortified routes in the city of Pavia (Italy) clarifies the adaptation of the medieval
capital in the historical politics of the Mediterranean, where the evolution of the defensive system till
the Spanish bastioned walls (sixteenth century) identifies the updating of the Lombard tradition to the
practices of modern military architecture. Their defensive structures survive in the urban design of the
contemporary city, in the configuration of infrastructures and urban aggregates, reflecting the consequences of the great processes of their dismantling (from 1905). The comparison between historical investigations and the current ruins, fragmented into disconnected portions between the historical bastions
and the monumental gates, shows a picture of abandonment of the military structures that generates repeated collapses and emerging risk factors towards the surrounding densified urban context. The experimentation of military architectural approaches of documentation at the urban scale, developed by the
research laboratory DAda Lab. of University of Pavia, defines an analysis process through the digital
representation of the urban remains that is suitable for the preservation of the survived city walls and the
enhancement of their fortified identity. The application of different 3D LiDAR systems for morphological acquisition promotes an integrated digitation process of scansets on the fortified system controlled at
the urban metric scale: the experimentation applies the use of a mobile real time scanner for the digital
tracking of historical routes, on which to implement the georeferencing of detailed static scanworlds, integrated in correspondence of Bastions and Monumental Gates. The optimization of architectural data
density and the integration between data contribute to finalize a 3D territorial database predisposed to
the architectural modelling of volumes and scenarios of structural instability of the military ruins, defining a virtual framework of widespread knowledge for the historical conservation and urban prevention

The walls of Cartagena de Indias through methodological experimentation and survey systems protocols. Digital tools comparison for the study of the Antonelli’s defense system
[EN] Cartagena de Indias, one of the main Spanish commercial ports in the Caribbean Sea, was strategically
built on a system of islands and peninsulas that formed a lacustrine system along the coast of Tierra Firme,
known today as Colombia. For several centuries, Cartagena fortifications have been at the fore-front 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 Lorenzo 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.Parrinello, S.; Picchio, F.; Dell’amico, A.; Malusardi, C. (2020). Le mura di Cartagena de Indias tra sperimentazione metodologica e protocolli operativi.

L'UniversitĂ di Pavia, i cortili e gli ambienti monumentali. Un progetto di documentazione digitale e sviluppo di sistemi di gestione per la manutenzione programmata
Originally composed of two courtyards, the buildings of the Central Complex of University of Pavia are divided into a fifth-teen century part, deriving from the ancient San Matteo hospital, and an eighteenth-century part, integrated with the previous one without a solution of continuity. This is the largest building in the historic center of the ancient Lombard capital, and the many commemorative inscriptions and reliefs in the porticoes trace the history of the oldest Lombard university. The various interventions for maintenance, necessary considering the extension of the complex, have motivated the start of a research project that aims to define operational strategies for the development of information systems, functional to the creation of reliable databases on the historical and architectural heritage of the University of Pavia, intended as indispensable premises for each subsequent conservation action to be planned.
The research laboratories involved in the project, DAda LAB and PLAY, of the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of University of Pavia, have defined a documentary strategy for the development of integrated analysis and digitization systems, through which to develop informative models useful for the planning of interventions on heritage
