✦ Synopsis

Advanced Research and Design Tools for Architectural Heritage: Unforeseen Paths rethinks how to analyse, preserve, and adapt Architectural Heritage and its surroundings along unforeseen paths using a broad spectrum of advanced research and design tools. By delving into conceptual foundations and recent applications, it transcends disciplinary boundaries and leverages advanced design tools, such as space syntax, natural language processing, advanced photogrammetry, heritage building information modelling, and virtual reality.

This book offers a comprehensive collection of collaborative research studies by a team of scholars with diverse perspectives and digital expertise from long-term projects. Encompassing case studies and recent academic experiences, the volume explores notable heritage sites in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Readers are afforded a nuanced understanding of integrated tools through a forward-looking approach. By addressing critical heritage challenges, the book contributes to reshaping architecture discourse and practice.

The chapters explore the integration of advanced methodologies to address emerging societal concerns, making the book a valuable resource for architecture, archaeology, urban planning, catering to professors, trainers, and students. Additionally, its relevance extends to practitioners interested in cultural studies, urban policies, and data science, including archivists, representatives from public governmental authorities, and policy stakeholders.
