Architectural Records, Inventories and Information Systems for
Conservation
ARIS05
Advanced international course in architectural conservation, heritage
recording,
and information management

Rome, ICCROM, 30 March - 29 April, 2005

Good conservation decisions are made with knowledge of the significance,
history,
past interventions, and current conditions of cultural resources.
This advanced course on architectural records, inventories, and
information systems
for the conservation of cultural heritage will address the needs,
methodology,
and techniques for acquiring and using this knowledge. The course will
draw upon
the vast wealth of cultural material in Rome and will be taught by
leading experts
in the field. Records, inventories, and information management tools are
continuously
being developed and must be considered as a fundamental part of the
conservation
process.
The course is designed and offered by ICCROM and The Getty Conservation
Institute.
ICCROM [International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and
Conservation
of Cultural Property] is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to
the conservation
and restoration of cultural property. The Getty Conservation Institute
is a program
of the J. Paul Getty Trust in Los Angeles that works internationally to
advance
the field of conservation through scientific research, field projects,
education
and dissemination of information.
Course objectives, content, and educational strategies will be designed
in partnership
by ICCROM and The Getty Conservation Institute.
The ARIS05 Course will take place at ICCROM headquarters in Rome.
AIMS:
The ARIS05 Course aims to improve architectural conservation practice
through
the use of methods and tools of recording, documentation, inventories
and information
management by:
- Approaching architectural records and information management from the
point
of view of planning, practice, access and dissemination;
- Reviewing the theory of documentation and recording and its relation
to specific
situations;
- Addressing recording practice based on specific case studies;
- Promoting discussion among specialists in these fields;
- Enabling participants to transmit documentation knowledge, aptitudes
and skills.
PROGRAMME:
The course will feature a range of learning strategies that will draw
upon participants’
own professional knowledge while adding new information and skills
through readings,
discussions, and a number of collaborative practical exercises.
The course will include a required preparatory phase prior to arrival at
ICCROM.
This preparatory phase will allow participants to increase their
background knowledge
in key topic areas through readings and exercises that they will
undertake while
in their home countries.
The course will be structured around three blocks of knowledge, through
four
weeks of study, on specific matters relating to:
- Documentation: principles, theory, guidelines;
- Recording practice: Practical workshop about: generating records
(direct, topographic,
photogrammetric, 3D scanning), archival research (historic,
archaeological, structural,
condition), dissemination (computer graphics, multimedia, GIS)
Including topics such as:
- Architectural recording, emphasizing the relationship between
representation
and content.
- Architectural recording, as a discipline, supported by all the
sciences and
techniques that are able to contribute to the understanding, measurement
and
analysis of architecture from a morphological, material and structural
standpoint.
- Architectural recording as a research activity combined with the
bibliographic
and documentation investigation.
- Architectural recording as an open knowledge system, aiming at
obtaining the
most comprehensive understanding of the structure under investigation
and the
collection, over time, of critical records of all relevant elements.
- Architecture and context.
- Demonstrations and presentations of technical developments in
recording.
- Information management: planning, practice, access and diffusion;

The course will stress the notion of ‘inventory’ as the core element of
information
systems to be able to establish links between the various aspects and
fields
relating to architectural documentation processes. The notion of
‘information
management systems’ will include:
- Principles, design and management of records of data base systems.
- Methods to process architectural records and related information.
PARTICIPANTS:
This advanced course is designed for a maximum of 16 architectural
conservation
professionals.
The advanced course will be for conservators, architects, planners,
engineers,
archaeologists, historians, topographers, photogrammetrists, surveyors,
cartographers,
restorers, documentalists, and other conservation professionals involved
in the
field of recording, documentation and inventories through information
management
systems.
