Abstract
Abstract. The aim of this study is supporting the conceptual discussions of architectural restoration with three dimensional modeling of monuments based on photogrammetric survey. In this study, a 16th century village bath in Ulamış, Seferihisar, and Izmir is modeled for documentation. Ulamış is one of the historical villages within which Turkish population first settled in the region of Seferihisar – Urla. The methodology was tested on an antique monument; a bath with a cubical form. Within the limits of this study, only the exterior of the bath was modeled. The presentation scale for the bath was determined as 1 / 50, considering the necessities of designing structural interventions and architectural ones within the scope of a restoration project. The three dimensional model produced is a realistic document presenting the present situation of the ruin. Traditional plan, elevation and perspective drawings may be produced from the model, in addition to the realistic textured renderings and wireframe representations. The model developed in this study provides opportunity for presenting photorealistic details of historical morphologies in scale. Compared to conventional drawings, the renders based on the 3d models provide an opportunity for conceiving architectural details such as color, material and texture. From these documents, relatively more detailed restitution hypothesis can be developed and intervention decisions can be taken. Finally, the principles derived from the case study can be used for 3d documentation of historical structures with irregular surfaces.
Highlights
The betterment of the 3D modeling techniques for architectural heritage documentation is an on-going research problem
This study aims to search the potential of a newly developed software Tgi3D SU Photoscan v.1.27.9 for the conservation aimed 3D measured survey of historic monuments
This is manual photogrammetric evaluation software, which has been already tested on new buildings with prismatic forms presenting limited deformation and on small objects possessing organic forms such as sculpture pieces
Summary
The betterment of the 3D modeling techniques for architectural heritage documentation is an on-going research problem. This study aims to search the potential of a newly developed software Tgi3D SU Photoscan v.1.27.9 for the conservation aimed 3D measured survey of historic monuments This is manual photogrammetric evaluation software, which has been already tested on new buildings with prismatic forms presenting limited deformation and on small objects possessing organic forms such as sculpture pieces (http://www.tgi3d.com/index.php?Page=Gallery). Brick timber and mortar is used in the construction of the walls and brick and mortar is used in the construction of the domes, vaults, pendentives and the drum of the central dome at the iliklik-sicaklik The surfaces of these elements are exposed without plastering at their exterior at present, while they are. The unproven characteristic of the full automated methods are pointed out, and the validity of the highly manual methods are underlined
