| Abstract in different language: | In the case of historical buildings and monumental architecture, the analysis and understanding of processes of decay call for an interpretative overview encompassing data which stem from different areas of study but are globally interrelated and constitute essential elements for the purpose of assessing the state of preservation. The study outlined here was carried out to show how the integrated representation of the monument’s geometry together with the morphology and distribution of the damage, the component materials and their physical characteristics, the historico-architectonic analysis and environmental factors can be used to facilitate our understanding of degradation processes. Identifying the Information Technology (IT) as being able to create environments that are typically suitable for the aims pursued and to use as an operating instrument, it was decided to translate the theoretical disciplinary model into a computer-based procedure in which the functions specific to the GIS- Geographic Information Systems- were transposed to an architectonic scale. To this end an Information System is currently being configured for development in an AVENUE programming language (by ESRI). It is designed for the organisation, representation and utilisation of knowledge of data regarding the architectonic item in question, its immediate context and its territorial location. Experimental results obtained for some actual applications are presented. |
