In the AI’s era, the use of digital technology in the construction sector is becoming increasingly widespread in many countries in the world. New technologies have produced a new paradigm that has revolutionized the architecture’s world and changed our outlook. Even the way we conduct architectural surveys has been affected. Our challenge is twofold: how can we integrate laser scanning techniques into the teaching of architectural surveying, and what is the contribution of heritage modeling using point clouds? During the training of first-year architecture students, within the introductory workshop on architectural surveying, we implemented a new teaching approach based on a structured methodological sequence that begins with manual drawings, progresses through metric measurements, and culminates in the use of the laser scanning. Our main pedagogical contributions are to: (1) introduce students to surveying techniques, (2) document projects using point clouds, and (3) collect all the information necessary for diagnosing pathologies and restoring the monument. The methodology involves three distinct stages: (1) observation and drawing by hand (without tracing instruments), (2) the use of measuring instruments such as the metal tape measure, the roulette wheel, the laser rangefinder, etc., (3) the use of new technologies, more specifically laser scanning, to acquire existing 3D data. The buildings chosen as support are of historical and heritage significance. The interest of this research lies in the intersection of architectural surveying teaching with laser scanning techniques. Among the results aimed at this work, we cite: (1) the experimentation of new teaching methods in a learning situation, (2) the exploitation of heritage modeling using point clouds in monument conservation.
