Title:
Documenting Endangered Heritage Sites
Content:
Documentation plays a fundamental role when heritage is at risk. The current military conflicts lead to heritage being erased from memory. New methods and technologies let to work in recording, preserving and restoring but all of them involve interdisciplinary research and not always the projects can be accomplished. Altogether, contributions should enhance our knowledge about techniques and about identification, interpretation, preservation and restoration under risk.
In that context, aspects such as Under-Documenting and Over-Documenting play an important role in data management in a long-term and secure aspects. Best practices in 3D modelling, architectural reconstruction and interpretation can provide fundamental information to approach to cultural heritage.
Trough real examples and solid projects best practices will be underlined and reinforced for further field work operations.
