dc.description.abstractThe proposed research refers to the documentation of the grand staircase of Palazzo D'Azeglio in Turin, designed between 1953 and 1957 by the Lombard-born architect Tomaso Buzzi. The awareness of the identity value expressed by Buzzi's work makes its preservation urgent, the first step of which is the knowledge stage for a long-term conservation. The integration of historical sources and direct investigation allows for a more complete description of Buzzi's intervention, highlighting his design choices and relationship with the existing building, so as to guide future restoration work toward more conscious choices. The complexity of the object related to the geometry, the light conditions and materials and surfaces of the decorative apparatus, required an integrated methodology based on 3D metric survey with the use of advanced laser digital technologies. The topographic survey organizes the refence systems and measures a set of point coordinates to co-register and validate the accuracy of the 3D model. The 3D scanning of the space benefits from the combined use of static and mobile scanner, that has been used in the connection between the narrow spaces of the underground environments and the main volume. Through the presented workflow, as a preliminary part of the research and consultancy project, it was thus possible to analyse and describe the geometric, architectural and decorative complexity of the staircase, also in connection with historical phases of the building and archival documents and drawings related to the Buzzi's project, and providing the essential basis for subsequent studies and conservation and enhancement actions.en_US
