Features: This textbook includes the history of architectural surveying, related issues of architectural heritage surveying and recording, basic theories of ancient building surveying, fundamental knowledge of surveying and its applications, survey preparation, individual building surveying (including fieldwork such as freehand sketches, measurements, and photography, as well as indoor work like drafting, instrument sketches, and computer-aided design), as well as the surveying of overall plans for ancient buildings and deformation surveys of ancient buildings. The book also briefly introduces the application of new surveying technologies in ancient building surveying, such as digital close-range photogrammetry, Global Positioning System (GPS), three-dimensional laser scanning, and Geographic Information System (GIS). The book also includes numerous sample diagrams, classic works, and relevant cultural heritage protection regulations, to some extent, making up for the lack of cultural heritage content in architectural education. This book covers the history of architectural surveying, related issues of architectural heritage surveying and recording, basic theories of ancient building surveying, fundamental knowledge of surveying and its applications, survey preparation, and individual building surveying. While striving for rigorous and comprehensive theory, the book also emphasizes practicality and can be used as a fieldwork manual. It strives to balance both rigorous and precise methods with simple and practical methods to accommodate different teaching hours and conditions. Additionally, the explanation of common errors and corrections helps beginners remember key points and avoid detours. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate teaching in architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and related fields, as well as for training cultural heritage engineering technicians and self-study reference for enthusiasts of ancient buildings.
