From worksite tracing drawings to integrated digital models for reconstructing and preserving cultural heritage
The method of incising in stone the working drawing of structural and decorative elements at the real scale (Αναγραϕευζ, Anagrapheus) goes back to ancient times. This technic was applied to conceive, represent and control the execution and the assembly of architectonic elements. In more recent literature on the subject focus of attention has shifted from the purely archaeological point of view to that of architectonic representation. The new approach is based on reading guidelines, geometries, traces of assembly and workmanship, wear surfaces - all employed in constructing architecture.
