Abstract

The elaboration of 2D documentation sources, including all relevant historical, architectural, archaeological as well as artistic (textual and iconographical) data, are usually collected and evaluated, while an architect-engineer/conservator is conducting a restoration and rehabilitation project. In addition, all other relevant documentation may be used in a digital application, where 2D drawings and plans can be applied, for the virtual representation of heritage monuments, existing or non-existing ones (lost), either partially damaged or even having undergone severe deformations during the passage of time by nature or by man-made actions. The offered documentation and representation techniques vary, and of course, as digital technology develops, the related evolutionary steps can offer an important contribution to the faithful restitution of architectural monuments. Yet, what happens in other cases, where the architectural monuments and the complex of historic buildings, or the archaeological sites do not survive up to our times? The submitted paper will try to highlight relevant applied techniques as used in recent cultural heritage projects by means of their comparative analysis and presentation.
