Documenting Scotland’s Historic Environment
An introduction to a range of traditional and innovative methods for recording Scotland’s historic built environment.
Date and time: to
Location: The Engine Shed, Stirling.
Organisation: Historic Environment Scotland
The recording of buildings is an essential component of heritage management. The primary purpose of this is to establish an accurate record, typically in 3D, of a building as the starting point for key decisions around repair and maintenance. This allows evaluation or monitoring of a structure’s condition to establish the need for interventions to repair, conserve or maintain the fabric.
The three morning talks will introduce a range of 3D recording techniques, including survey methods and the latest innovations in digital documentation such as laser scanning and photogrammetry. We will explore the benefits of different techniques and the types of outputs these forms of 3D data capture produce, which can be used for conservation and maintenance projects.
A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.
You will then be invited to a hands-on demonstration of photogrammetry techniques for recording buildings. This will take place either inside or outside the Engine Shed, depending on weather.
For those who cannot attend in person, a virtual ticket is available for the morning session.
Learning outcomes
You will:
- be introduced to a range of digital documentation techniques suitable for the 3D survey of a traditional building or site
- understand how data derived from digital documentation can inform conservation or repair projects and enhance the understanding of a building or site, through presentation of a range of case studies
- learn how photogrammetric techniques are used to provide accurate records of a wide range of heritage materials, from small objects to large structures
Who should attend?
We encourage graduates, heritage professionals and building practitioners from all disciplines interested in developing their knowledge and practice in traditional buildings to consider attending.
We also welcome anyone responsible for a traditional building or with an interest in the broader aspects of architectural history and building conservation in Scotland.
