Digital Documentation of Cultural Heritage Sites

Ottoman Soap Factory, Lod, Israel

 

This project aims to present the documentation process of an Ottoman Soap factory in Lod, Israel and the challenges of the documentation because parts of the building have collapsed within the structure. The use of the laser scanner methodology, allowed for a fast, accurate and comprehensive survey, as well as a good understanding of the building and the areas which are concealed, as a result of the collapse. At the same time, digital photos were taken and through photogrammetry, three-dimensional geometries of areas of the building were produced.
