Bangunan warisan ini penting untuk dipelihara kerana dari segi sejarah yang dimiliki dan kepentingannya untuk dikekalkan bagi tujuan generasi masa hadapan (Ramli, 2012) . Usaha pemeliharaan bangunan warisan di Malaysia telah mula berkembang dan diberi perhatian yang khusus oleh pihak kerajaan dan badan bukan kerajaan (Kamal, 2011) . Kertas penulisan ini menerangkan definasi pemeliharaan bangunan warisan khususnya di negara Malaysia. Kertas penulisan ini juga membincangkan kaedah pemeliharaan bangunan warisan berdasarkan prinsip dan etika pemeliharaan bangunan yang sedia ada di peringkat nasional dan antarabangsa serta perlaksanaannya di negara Malaysia. Hasil kertas penulisan ini akan memberi satu rangka gambaran senario pemeliharaan bangunan warisan di Malaysia serta memahami kepentingan proses ini untuk mengekalkan sumber warisan sejarah di masa hadapan.

The testing project consisted of the application of a horizontal force of 10-11kN at the ca-pital of each column. At the same time, the horizontal displacement of the capital and the vertical displacement of the base marble block, were measured The test was carried out twice in each direction, to account for differences in the foundation condi-tions. For the evaluation and the interpretation of the test results a back-analysis was performed. For the (3-d nonlinear elastic) analysis Rock-Mechanics principles were applied. The idea is that dry masonry structure, from natural rock stone blocks connec-ted with frictional “joint” forces are analogous to a jointed rockmass system. The comparison of measured values and analytical predictions are generally in good agreement, offering increased accuracy.According to the results, discrete modelling with pro-perly determined parameters for monument‟s geomaterials can satisfactorily be applied to restoration analyses of this type of structure and could form the base for more complex calculations involving dynamic effects e.g. earthquake.

Fra i contributi scientifici comparsi nel bollettino annuale del Gruppo Archeologico Aquileiese del 2005, trova posto un breve saggio su un sito fra i più interessanti e meno studiati del territorio di Udine: la medievale “tavella Sancti Petri”, prescelta per il primo insediamento locale dei Carmelitani (poi inurbatisi, dando inizio alle vicende dell’attuale parrocchia del Carmine), quindi sede di quel villino Moretti-Facchin che fu anche nota ‘miniera’ di reperti archeologici d’età romana, infine – purtroppo - sconvolta da una recente lottizzazione.

An integrated architectural survey, was carried on all three. The study highlights the special features of the buildings vis-à-vis their surroundings and how they were influenced by both narional and local culture. Metrology reveals the presence recurrent measurement and suggests that workmen could have played a key role in building fortifications in the region. Proportional analyses reveal the use of harmonic ratios and geometries reminiscent of Bernhardt's plan - ad quadratum and ad triangulum – as well as a 3 to 4 ratio between the measurements classified by Hahn. Based on the studies, theories are
developed regarding the construction process.

aquilano" (Masonry System of L'Aquila). This technique is characterized by a face realized in little stony ashlars, placed in staggered horizontal courses. The apparecchio quilano morphologically recalls the Roman opus reticulatum and the opus vittatum, and its reintroduction might be due to the Benedictine culture.
The presence of some ashlars in a vertical position, recalls an influence of some constructive manners typical of the Cistercian architecture , that are visible as well on the edge disposition of some elements or like in the opus spicatum. A wide research has consented to verify that the apparecchio aquilano is diffused in all the southern slope of the Gran Sasso massif, even with different, in part, from the examples of the chief town, in dimensions and in workmanship of the stony elements. The classification of the constructive techniques of the proposed masonries allows to correlate the analysed masonries with their historical-territorial context, and to compare the various constructive types with the documented data. In the light of the available data, the typologies in regular ashlars are present from the XIIth Century to the XVth Century; while the examples with little ashlars from the XIth Century to the XV Century.

The main research questions are then re-discussed, stimulating scholars, administrators and common people to re-appraise, re-use and re-invent this historical heritage, perishable beyond all appearance: because it is urgent to saving those “things” that today must be considered as rarities, possibly making them available for a thematic cultural tourism, as it is already done in other parts of Europe.

Le principali istanze di ricerca sono poi ri-discusse, per stimolare studiosi, amministratori e gente comune a ri-valutare, ri-utilizzare e re-inventare questo patrimonio storico, deperibile al di là di ogni apparenza: perché è urgente salvare quei "beni" che oggi devono essere considerati come delle rarità, eventualmente rendendoli disponibili per un turismo culturale tematico, come già avviene in altre parti d'Europa.

as case study to test the SiArch, i.e. the rchitectonical lnformative System studied by the Research Unit of L'Aquila University. Before the earthquake of ApriI 6th 2009, happened
during the research period, the building was surveyed using digitaI photogrammetry techniques by PhotoModeler Scanner
6 software. After the seismic event the church was surveyed
with laser scanner. About architectonical surveying, according
to the used instruments, digitaI photogrammetry techniques
are simpler, faster and more economie, but surfaces built by photogrammetric point clouds are satisfying only for flat façades or with regular curvature, and elements with limited
prominence. Using alI surveying data, was reelised the church s
3D photorealistic model. To build an Architectonical Informative
System, the first step is planning the database, that required
to compose 3D model according to constructive elements. Then the 3D model, textured by Autodesk 3DStudioMax 20 1Oand exported in *.3ds format, is imported in ArcScene
of ESRI ArcView 9.3 software. This procedure gives the
possibility to realize an architectonical informative system with
photorealistic 3D model into GIS environment. Moreover another
testing is about the importation of churciis mesh textured
surface, realized by digitaI photogrammetry techniques,
into ESRI GIS environment.

Case-studies of the research are the churches of S. Giustino in Paganica (XII-XV-XVIII-XX centuries) and of S. Paolo in Peltuinum (XII-Xlii-XVIII centuries): theyare medieval buildings, characterized by stratification phenomena, and during the twentieth centu ry modified by stilisti restorations, to bring them back to presumable originaI asset. They have been surveyed with integrated method. 3D-models describes architectonic characteristics such as geometric-dimensional, spatial, historical, metrologic-proportional ones; models give the possibility to visualize building's constructive phases end, mapped with photographical images, allow to represent materials, colou rs and constructive aspects. DigitaI photogrammetry, used according to an inverse camera process, givesthe possibility to reconstruct, by archival photos disappeared spatial and architectonical configurations. The 3D models can be instruments to interrelate and analyse in forma tions: in this way 3D models are data base. This kind of 3D model requires a plan ning according to digitaI components organization and layers stratification: this is fundamental far themodel's capability to collect data, be managed and interrogated. So 3D models are disarranged according to constructive elements; a database model in CAD environment is built by iperlinking model's elements to a data management matrix

The SIArch-Univaq is based on importation of architectonical three-dimensional photorealistic models in GIS environment. 3D models are realised according to building constructive elements, derived by a critical architectonic surveying; the importation of models into GIS allows the interrogation of the constructive elements (i.e. beam, window, door, etc.): this favour the knowledge of the architectonical heritage, indispensable requirement to plan processes of restoration, maintenance and management
