The ARC project (for Architecture Represented Computationally) is an attempt to reproduce in computer form the architectural historian’s mental model of the Gothic cathedral. This model includes the background information necessary to understand a natural language architectural description. Our first task is to formalize the description of Gothic cathedrals in a logical language, and provide a ...

In the article herein the application of cultural and historic heritage as image in environmental design was considered, as well as a usage of up-to-date tools for 3D computer-aided modeling while designing electronic model of architectural park complex was reviewed.

This study presents a new precise radiocarbon chronology for the World Heritage site of Sarvestan (SW Iran). The monument is key construction in history architecture because it typical Sasanian built during late or early Islamic period. Previous attempts to date have suggested ages ranging from middle (fifth century CE) Abbasid (ninth era. These age estimations are based on analysis architectur...

There are many 3D digital models of buildings with cultural heritage interest, but most of them lack semantic annotation that could be used to inform users of mobile and desktop applications about their origins and architectural features. We describe methods in an ongoing project for enriching 3D models with generic annotation, derived from examples of images of building components and from lab...
