CRAFT, HERITAGE AND DIGITAL TOOLS

Digital technologies play an increasingly significant role in large, complex heritage documentation projects such as the one under way for the Parliament Buildings National Historic Site of Canada. Research at the Carleton Immersive Media Studio is investigating how the data created by these technologies can play a direct role in restoration work.

This lecture will examine a series of projects where digital technologies augmented traditional craft in the repair of stone carvings on the East and West Block.
