Knowledge for conservation. Methods and technologies to preserve the cultural heritage

Abstract

Heritage takes on various forms, whether tangibles like locations, buildings, and landscapes or intangibles like memories, emotions, beliefs and practices. Nowadays, digital documenting of cultural assets is critical for heritage research, preservation, documentation and distribution with diverse experts in the area and beyond. The purpose of this work is to analyze and compare different case studies from around the world to propose various strategies for preserving and enhancing an architectural heritage that is much too frequently abandoned and left to deteriorate due to natural and cultural harm.
