The Greek Theatre of Syracuse. From the Survey to the Project of an Innovative Micro-Laminated Wood Construction System for the Fruition and Accessibility of the Càvea 
Abstract
The research is the result of multidisciplinary contributions, from surveying to digital fabrication. The focus of the research is the valorization and accessibility of the ancient Greek theatre of Syracuse through the use of an innovative construction system in micro-laminated wood for the equipment of the càvea whose components were produced using numerically controlled machine tools. The Greek theatre hosts an annual cycle of classical plays, organized by the Istituto Nazionale Dramma Antico. The paper presents a study of modern 3D digital documentation techniques for the survey of archaeological heritage, aimed in this specific case at the development of a 3D model to support the realization of the full-scale equipment prototype. The study not only identified the geometric and formal aspects, but also the missing parts of the càvea, making it possible to customize the prefabricated elements that make up the equipment system which can be dry-assembled.
