Parts of Umayyad Mosque documented by 3D photogrammetry techniques

Culture

The DGAM in cooperation with the French ICONEM architectural firm completed the documentation of some parts of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus using 3D photogrammetry techniques.

The cooperation between the Directorate-General of Antiquities and Museums and the French architectural firm started by early 2015 where Eng. Yves Ublemann [Director of the ICONEM] trained a team from the DGAM to start the project of documenting the Syrian heritage through methodological sessions of photo-shooting.

Eng. Ublemann has started his field work in Syria in 2015 in several archaeological sites. He has also contributed to set up the showrooms of plaster sculptures in the Palmyra’s museum, according to the DGAM website.

The website clarified that the ICONEM, based in Paris, is an independent architectural firm specialized in documenting the human heritage around the world by using up-to-date techniques, especially drones.
