Abstract:
In 2010, just before the war, professor Fangi made a trip in Syria and it was the occasion to make a fast documentation of some Syrian Cultural Heritage monuments. Most of the images were not taken properly to make a survey, but rather as a photographic report. Nevertheless, the images represent an important source of data, which can be processed in a rigorous manner, following the 4x4 CIPA rules, to obtain a 3D modelling by Spherical Photogrammetry. These surveys could be useful in case of reconstruction and in case of lack of a suitable alternative of metric documentation. Then, with the realization of an open access database it was possible to organize and collect all available data information supporting the documentation and preservation of Syrian monuments, sites and identities, and finally to share this documentation on different web platform.
