Organizing Architectural Documentation

Preservation, conservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive use of historic buildings call for the organization and analysis of considerable amounts of architectural information, such as historic and contemporary photographs, historic and measured drawings, and written documents collected from a variety of sources: archives, libraries, personal collections, and field trips. Studies suggest that information will be utilized more effectively when it resides on one platform. Such a platform should be able to integrate various forms of information and to provide a flexible and user-friendly interface. The goal of this study was to develop a multimedia database structure to provide a comprehensive yet convenient framework for organizing and analyzing information pertinent to historic buildings.
