Geohumanities and 3D surveying technologies: new discoveries on the structure of Palazzo Pitti

Abstract

The integration of spatial data and historical sources profoundly enriches architectural research, providing the opportunity to formulate more robust hypotheses grounded in objective evidence. In this context, geomatics goes beyond merely documenting architectural heritage; it contributes to a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of buildings and their histories, thus becoming a fundamental pillar of the Geohumanities (Bodenhamer et al., 2010).
