Modern measuring methods and equipments

In order to increase the functional, useable, spatial, and aesthetic values of architectural items by valorisation - the act of quantifying and modeling them - the author tackles the subject in this article. Above all, the laser scanning method, which yields results in the form of a point cloud, enables the user to obtain a very detailed, three-dimensional computer image of the measured objects and to conduct a number of analyses and expert investigations, such as those into the technical condition (deformation of construction elements) and the spatial management of the surrounding environment, all the while the measurements are being taken and processed.
