Process of understanding of building’s characteristics and their appropriate graphical and visual documentation, through the analysis, selection, synthesis and representation of the architectural characteristics. Traditionally, the surveying is characterized by the succession of the following steps: a preliminary study and acquisition of documents; the surveying design; the measurement; the restitution with models for the interpretation and presentation of architectural heritage. Only the measurement phase is “objective”, while the others are “subjective” because influenced by the skills, culture and experience of the surveyor. Advanced digital tools, such as laser-scanners and digital photogrammetry, partially inverted the process, anticipating the measurement phase.

Abstract
This chapter presents a process for the study of an architectural and archaeological heritage. It is an interdisciplinary work carried on with the integration of different digital systems for surveying and managing data. An innovative methodological approach is presented, based on the HBIM for 3D digital management of data, related to the analysis of masonry techniques, of conservation and damage, paying particular attention to the masonries 3D stratigraphic study. A specific focus is on the use of HBIM to design the restoration yard. The case study is the church of San Cipriano, located near the small country of Castelvecchio Calvisio in the province of L'Aquila (Italy).
