The research experience in the Moscow Institute of Architecture

Abstract:
The poster is devoted to the experience of scientific architectural 3D-reconstructions creation which was accumulated in the Moscow Institute of Architecture. The main aim is to demonstrate the difference in using several methods and approaches due to the various tasks on the examples of the reconstructions made by the authors or under their supervision. The main method is the historical and architectural analysis of the survived data. This method has been playing the key role in such investigations at the Architecture and Urban History Department more than half a century. During the second half of XX century the traditional instruments for these reconstructions were hand graphics and models of paper. However last 15 years the role of digital technologies for this scientific area was considerably increased and now the making of 3D computer reconstructions is a part of students’ yearly essays and theoretical and restoration works of the research fellows as well.
The presented reconstructions were made for different scientific tasks. Thereupon the special attention is paid to the necessity of the explanation of the studying object selection. The definition of the criteria of such selection is also very important. The main types of the scientific reconstructions are defined: the recreation of the original look of a rebuilt edifice, reconstruction of a badly preserved monument, 3D-visualisation of an unrealized project, the reconstruction of architectural and constructional peculiarities of a building or illustration of its building stages. All these types require the different methodology, approaches and visualization methods.
