Abstract

The MUDI project, the restoration works for the new Museo degli Innocenti in Florence, is one of the most advanced examples of the opportunities offered by the high accuracy of the digital morphometric survey technique for the development of investigation processes, monitoring procedures and restoration works in plans aimed at preservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of historical buildings and structures. The digitalization of the “geometric memory” of the Renaissance building by Brunelleschi offers new approaches to studying, documenting, preserving, managing and communicating the architecture and its contents, not least the artistic collections and historical archive. Starting from metric knowledge, integrated design and data management also allow new design and technological integration so as to enhance architectural spaces and accessibility; the Museo degli Innocenti is now an important example of a virtuous path towards the future of heritage conservation, enhancement and dissemination.
