Abstract
The historical archive of architectural drawings of the former department of survey, analysis and drawing of the environment and architecture (Radaar) of the Faculty of Architecture, Sapienza University of Rome, contains the drawings produced during the following courses: Survey of Monuments, Elements of Architecture and Survey of Monuments, and On-location Drawing held in the period 1940-1980. So far about 70% of this patrimony has now been digitalized and it is still work in progress. We have taken these digitalized original drawings and given, through a special QR code on each, the possibility for the researcher to also access the photo-history of the same view, its geometrical reconstruction and to compare it to how it is today. Features of special cultural interest have also been taken from the drawings and given their own QR codes. This whole process also permits the understanding of both the tangible and intangible heritage of each location.
