On November 11, at 18:00, Ilia State University will host an international workshop titled “Application of Photogrammetry in the Study of Historical Heritage.”

The event is organized within the framework of the research project “Interdisciplinary Research and Documentation of the Architectural Heritage of Uznadze Street in Tbilisi” (FR-23-6740), funded by the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia.

The project encompassed archival and art historical research, as well as fieldwork involving architectural surveying and documentation. The core methodology employed was photogrammetry, which enables the generation of architectural documentation (measured drawings) through photographic surveys and subsequent digital image processing using specialized software. Italian specialists from the Institute of Heritage Science (Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale – ISPC) possess extensive expertise in this field. Dr. Daniele Ferdani, one of the institute’s leading specialists and a longtime collaborator of his Georgian colleagues, will share his experience during the session. In turn, the Georgian team will present the project’s progress and findings.

The workshop aims to foster international knowledge exchange between Georgian and Italian scholars and to promote the adoption of photogrammetric methods.
