`DIGITAL archives OF GREEK ARCHITECTURE'

Aim of the course is the presentation, maintenance and preservation of Modern Greek architecture via collection, investigation, and representation. The created collections will be available for educational purposes supporting the teaching of architecture. The files of drawings, texts, pictures and models will be accessible to all students and later will be available in the Internet. Our purpose is to create a continuously extended database which promotes the rich Greek architectural heritage, with considerable, unknown or not, architectural works.

The digital archives introduce and interpret the architectural projects. The course combines methodologies of collection, classification, and representation of architectural material in digital space. The collection of elements is reported in drawings, sketches, photographs and building models as well as in notes and observations of architects and authors. The creation of digital models deciphers, document and clarify the architectural work. It is important to classify and organize the assembled material in such a way that it can be used in further investigation, analysis, treatment and presentation. The final objective of the course is the application of the collected materials in hyper-media interactive presentations.
