What is Morphological Analysis

Chapter 11
Handbook of Research on Emerging Technologies for Architectural and Archaeological Heritage
The study of the architectural morphology deals with the investigation of, training and transformation of his geometric structures and configuration, namely the development of this architecture has had over time. Morphological analysis seeks to understand the underlying structure of an ancient architecture, by examining the patterns of the elements that compose it, as part of the process of their development. Morphological analysis is the study of the main elements underlying the apparent chaos.

Abstract
In this chapter San Pietro di Deca represented an opportunity for scientific knowledge process experimentation applied to a small building with a great past, an unknown monument standing in north west of Sicily that recently has been studied by a team of Austrian archeologists. The first scientific survey carried out by the authors by means of the latest technology as well as all the stages of the research are presented: the historical research, the laser scanner survey, the critical analysis leading to the interpretation of the architecture's masonry structures, and an accurate analytical representation of the transformation processes experienced by the structure from its origin until today. The evaluation of the survey and its comparison with similar Byzantine Sicilian buildings were major steps confirming the hypotheses inferred on the morphological evolution of the structure.
