ABSTRACT
We live in an era where technology enhances every aspect of our lives, making work and daily living easier. Modern architecture has significantly evolved due to technological advancements, especially tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM). Today, innovations such as photogrammetry are revolutionizing fields like conservation, restoration, and adaptation of existing buildings.
This research focuses on photogrammetry—a method that enables the digital preservation of architectural heritage, protecting it from decay and ensuring its future conservation. Photogrammetry offers a more efficient and time-saving alternative to traditional documentation methods, which often rely on complex software like 3ds Max, Maya, or Blender. These tools require extensive training and considerable time to model structures. In contrast, photogrammetry simplifies and accelerates the process, providing a more accessible solution.
Additionally, photogrammetry supports sustainability by facilitating the adaptive reuse of existing buildings rather than new construction, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals. Promoting sustainability involves repurposing and revitalizing the built environment instead of expanding it.
This paper explores photogrammetry’s potential on a larger scale, examining its historical development, contemporary case studies, and scholarly reviews. It aims to offer new insights into integrating photogrammetry into everyday architectural practice, emphasizing its role in preserving and enhancing the built environment for future generations.
