The Laboratory of Geomatics at the University of Pavia continues its collaboration with the Architectural Restoration course, taught by Professor Olimpia Niglio within the Master’s degree program in Building Engineering and Architecture, contributing to teaching through activities focused on surveying and documenting the built heritage.

The initiative combines classroom teaching with fieldwork, introducing students to geomatics methods and their application to studying historic buildings. Surveying provides an essential foundation for examining architectural geometry, understanding spatial organization and producing metric documentation to support analysis and restoration design.

The collaboration builds on work carried out over previous years at the Crypt of Sant’Eusebio in Pavia and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Lomello. These experiences have brought together expertise in surveying and architectural heritage conservation.

For the 2026/27 academic year, the activities focus on the Episcopal Seminary of Pavia, located in the historic complex of the former Monastery of Santa Maria Teodote. The Laboratory provides expertise and equipment for integrated surveying activities, helping students explore the relationship between data acquisition, representation, and architectural understanding.

This experience strengthens the dialogue between geomatics and architectural restoration, connecting university education with the study of local heritage.
