Survey of San Giovanni Battista
Restoration of the Romanesque Façade of San Giovanni Battista (AD 1199)
San Gemini, Italy
The Church of San Giovanni is one of the oldest structures in San Gemini and is located at the northeast corner of the town. The church has a very attractive Romanesque façade built in 1199. In the following three centuries, a series of changes to the urban organization of the neighborhood led to the creation of a new approach to the church from the Piazzetta San Giovanni, and the original entrance became a secondary one that eventually was closed off and abandoned.
Survey of The Church of San Giovanni Battista
Measured Drawings
The architectural survey involves measuring the volumetric aspects of the building and describing it in its present condition with the traditional graphic tools of architecture: plans, elevations, sections, axonometric views.
The measuring and collection of data have been done using various methods and instruments, much of it with traditional techniques such as tape measures, transits, tube levels, tracings, and rubbings. We have also used some modern instruments, such as laser range finders, total stations, and photogrammetry. Drawings are created using various CAD software packages.
