Digital documentation for the restoration of the Anargyros Mansion

Today´s society is characterized by new technological and social changes and is continuously being evolved. Bonds with the past are endangered due to the rapid technological development. Cultural heritage is the bridge between past and future and for that reason it must be kept alive. It is the duty of our society to protect and preserve our cultural heritage and this is achieved through international regulations and conventions. The digital documentation is offering the necessary base material in order to analyze the problem of preserving cultural heritage while ensuring easy access. The purpose of the work presented in this paper is the digital geometric documentation of the impressive Anargyros Mansion located on Spetses, a small Greek island, in order to enable its restoration study. The documentation has been carried out by using both classical surveying and image based techniques for producing the required drawings.
