KEY WORDS: Interdisciplinary, Campaign Preparation, Data Acquisition, Combination of Measurements, Genazzano 
ABSTRACT 
An interdisciplinary team of architectural researchers and geodetic specialists prepared a documentation campaign at the Ninfeo 
Bramentesco in Gennazzano, Italy. It was necessary to determine the required parameters of the data flow and the work parameters of 
the planed field measurement. All disciplines had to consider the different work styles and the experiences of the other parties at the 
site. The proposed work flow defined the work parameters and vice versa. 
The authors report the experiences and draw conclusions for further campaigns. The points to be mentioned during the definition of 
the work parameters are the design of the control network, the data acquisition in the field and after the campaign, the restitution and 
data compilation, the data analysis, and the presentation. This preparation allows an optimised work management. 
1. INTRODUCTION 
In Genazzano, Italy, a ruin called “Ninfeo Bramantesco” with a plenty of renaissance style elements had to be surveyed in order to 
determine the origin and designation of this building. It is about 56 m long, about 12 m deep and about 10 m high. This building 
raised a lot of questions (Dôring 1999). To solve these riddles a survey was organized by the chair of architectural history of the 
Technical University of Berlin. Most of the required data should be acquired during a single field campaign. But a second large field 
campaign and some short visits have been necessary. A better prepared field work, techniques which became available after the main 
campaign and the large amount of experiences which have been acquired during this project, would allow us to manage the campaign 
in a better manner, and to acquire much more data during the limited time of the primary campaign. 
It was already known, based on former experiences, that only a joint work of architectural researchers with the specialists from 
several disciplines provides the basis for the generation of high quality building documentations under economic conditions. Geodesy 
and photogrammetry contribute their wide variety of experiences in the acquisition and management of 3D data. Architectural 
researchers have extensive experiences in the interpretation of signs, features and other characteristic properties. 
One the other hand, many surveying experts trying to work in cooperation with architectural researchers and conservations specialists 
have a lack of knowledge on the special problems and challenges of the architectural survey. The joint word should reduce the 
knowledge gap on both sides. 
This paper may be interpreted as incitation to improve the management and the cooperation before, during and after a joint campaign.
