Recently, a laser scanner has been receiving more attention as a useful tool for real-time 3D data acquisition, and various applications such as city modeling, DTM generation and 3D modeling of cultural heritage were proposed. However, 3D Representation of historical structures from point cloud 3D data collected by laser scanner is still issues. In order to reduce the time, labor and skill for ...

In this paper we outline the importance of event-centric documentation for structuring cultural metadata and historical context. Historical analysis can be seen as an analysis of events involving participation of people and things, meeting each other and thus creating history. Event modeling is so abstract that it can be used to describe cultural items and documentations of scientific observati...

New information about historical uses continues to be discovered from museums as accessions objects made collected over last 150+ years are examined identified. Two textiles thought fungal mats located in Hood Museum Art, Dartmouth College, Oakland Calif...

The method proposed is derived from a parametric workflow that employs the precision of 6-axis robots and the flexibility of fabric to rapidly create a fabric formwork. Complex geometries can be cost-effectively executed in a precise digital to physical workflow. Conventional concrete casting techniques are labor-intensive, material-intensive and inaccurate, making them unsustainable and ineffi...
