Digital Monument Preservation in 3D. The virtual bazaar of Aleppo (Suq al-Madina) as a discussion tool for the preservation of historical monuments

Abstract: Virtual computer models have been used to visualize historical buildings for many years, becoming a standard instrument in teaching architectural history. Furthermore, virtual models have great potential as digital tools in building archaeology and heritage management. They can be used to test the feasibility of reconstruction projects, while scientists, politicians, citizens, and other stakeholders can use them to communicate and discuss possible measures. During an online workshop at the Architekturreferat of the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, a virtual model of the bazaar of Aleppo was presented as a case study addressing these questions. https://publications.dainst.org/journals/FdAI/article/view/4038
