Scientific study days: "Digital technology - a tool for studying heritage value"

Florent LAROCHE, Associate Professor at Centrale Nantes and member of the Laboratory of Numerical Sciences of Nantes (LS2N), is organizing scientific study days dedicated to digital technology as a tool for studying heritage value. Over 20 papers will demonstrate digital practices for the study of heritage value: capitalise, analyze and enhance.

Médiathèque de l’architecture et du patrimoine

From May 31, 2018 to June 1, 2018 from 09:00 To 17:00

Free entry for all - speakers and audience
Registration: eventbrite.com/journees-detudes-scientifiques-prospectives-le-numerique-outil-detude-de-la-valeur-patrimoniale

The ANR (French national research agency) RESEED project brings together different institutional, academic and industrial partners, with the aim of building new ways to capitalise on, analyze and enhance our heritage by using digital tools such as 3D and databases connecting the semantics of objects.

The recent democratization of virtual technology has allowed many research teams to appropriate these new tools and also to take steps in this direction. However, problems arise:

What new methodology (s)?
What scope for digital tools?
Which interoperable data formats?
Which new professions?
How to validate the results?

Defining this vision of tomorrow's digital heritage is the goal of this interdisciplinary ANR project supported by:

4 research laboratories, (in engineering schools and universities)
2 private companies as well as the French Ministry of Culture and Arts and Crafts (find out more: reseed.fr)

It is within this framework that these workshops are organized on the use of digital technology (3D modelling, databases, etc.) as a tool for studying and assisting decision-making in the analysis of heritage value, with regard to built sites as well as instruments and machines, understood as unitary components or as complex systems (social, economic, technical, scientific ...).

These two days of studies will allow us to produce a comprehensive review of these fields in France today. It is not a question of establishing a simple compilation of the examples of research in progress, but of considering how, in the medium and long term, this scientific problematic of perpetuation and transmission of technical, scientific and industrial knowledge requires a forward-looking vision on the tools and methods - resulting from engineering among others. Emphasis will also be placed on the indispensable interdisciplinary processes and the technologies used by or developed for Digital Humanities in the heritage and museological field.
