This research shows the photogrammetric survey and graphic documentation of the cloister of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and San Frutos in the city of Segovia, Spain.The building consists of a series of architectural elements dating back to the Renaissance period. Segovia Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption and San Frutos, is a masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. It represents an icon of the Christian faith and a cultural-historical point in Spanish history.The building was erected in the 16th century (1525–1577), when Renaissance architecture was flourishing in much of Europe. The research analyzes the context through the methodology of architectural drawing in order to propose knowledge and paths of fruition and enhancement. In the stages of the research, it was considered useful to divide the monumental building from the cloister in order to expand the possibilities of a more direct knowledge of the open layout towards the central courtyard. Particularly interesting is the system of vaults and buttresses that characterize the ceilings of the Cloister.The results achieved highlight an understanding of the vaulted system in relation to the planimetric space, completely divorced from the city and able to allow the passage of the religious in moments of solitude and prayer.

The research proposes the study of the Royal Park of Tirana in Albania, with particular reference both to the vegetation system, such as tree-lined avenues, ornamental gardens and vegetable gardens, and to the architectural elements such as the Villa, the Church, the gardener's house, the generator house and greenhouses. The few iconographic documents consist of the plans of the Grand Park of Tirana in 1957 and 1980, where some large buildings can be identified. The bibliography is relegated to the few citations found in the volumes illustrating the works of the two architects G. Bosio and G. Bertè. For the activities of knowledge of the Royal Park and of the architectural elements, in addition to the classical techniques of direct and indirect survey, we took into account the Ryobi laser instrumentation applied on portable computer support both tablets and smartphone. This digital system allows an immediate view of the relevant data on the photographic image taken by the support, transforming it into a dynamic datum. In the first phase, the relevant activity envisaged a basic knowledge extended to architectural organisms and green systems with a primitive geometric model; subsequently, measurements of architectural details, structures and the digital model were made. Appropriate photographic documentation was produced in addition to bibliographic, archival, and iconographic surveys.

The research itinerary is aimed at getting to know the monastic complexes in the Saronic Gulf (Greece) with operations of an investigative nature, to which are added references on religious and environmental themes which, in relation to architecture, expose the compositional and structural beauty of the Greek coastline. The study presents the survey of some Monasteries in the Saronic Gulf in southern Greece, such as the Monastery of the Spring Fountain on the island of Poros, the Monastery of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the island of Hydra and the Monastery of St. Nicholas in Spetses.

The research is focused on the study of the photographic image of the survey applied to the theme of castles, in order to highlight the structural beauty of cave architecture. The image, in addition to representing a database that can be drawn at a later stage, is an interpolation tool between the static figurative data and the dynamic data elements. For the site’s knowledge activities, Ryobi laser instrumentation was used on portable computer support, which allows immediate visualization of the important figure on the photographic image, transforming the latter into a dynamic one.
