Abstract
Abstract. Documentation of heritage objects has advanced significantly with the invention and development of many 3D sensors and processing algorithms. These technical advancements are of the utmost interest for cultural heritage stakeholders; knowledge transfer between key players is therefore essential and is indeed the main philosophy behind the CIPA Heritage Documentation as an organisation. In this paper we present a report on the CIPA Tropical School in the Candi Sewu temple complex in Indonesia. Organisational aspects will be described, as well as some technical results of the workshop. As public interest in the tropical school was quite high, we argue that this type of limited participant training event involving international partners and cross-disciplinary experts is a very powerful tool in knowledge dissemination. Furthermore, we encourage the organisation of such events in other places around the world.
Highlights
In August 2019, a CIPA workshop was held within the vicinities of the 8th century Candi Sewu temple complex in the province of Central Java, Indonesia
From the point of view of knowledge transfer, the workshop was successful in gathering participants from various backgrounds
It is worth noting that all five architects work in the cultural heritage or architectural history domain, while of the ten geomaticians a majority attended the course either because they have projects related to heritage or out of interest
Summary
In August 2019, a CIPA workshop was held within the vicinities of the 8th century Candi Sewu temple complex in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. While the importance of heritage documentation has been stressed many times (Grussenmeyer et al, 2012; Suwardhi et al, 2015), the proper techniques and best practices still eludes many main users and stakeholders. This may be due to the gap between technical science (e.g. surveying) and the humanities (e.g. history and archaeology), something that CIPA is well aware of and its raison d’être. 240 are small shrines (“perwara”), 8 are medium-sized flank temples (“apit”) and one main central temple all laid out in a rectangular and symmetrical radiating pattern (a “mandala” pattern) This layout is a perfect site for a multi-group workshop. This project was of great interest as it enables an international exposure to this monumental site
