more“The Lidoriki Project: - Low Altitude Aerial Photography, GIS, and Traditional Survey in Rural Greece,”
Initiated in 2010, the Lidoriki project brings together an international team of scholars focused on an examination of the cultural and physical landscapes of the region surrounding the village of Lidoriki in the Province of Phokis/Doris, Greece. Since the 1960s, a series of modern interventions have radically altered the ancient topography of this region. The various topographic changes of the modern age fragmented the cultural landscape.
Within this landscape exists a cultural topography and regional architectural history whose documentation is the focus of this project. In the summer of 2010, a team of scholars began compiling drawings, maps, photographs, and oral histories of the region, which supplement and inform ongoing surveys of vernacular architecture. Current research involves the melding of traditional architectural practices with aerial photographic collection and photogrammetric documentation of landscapes and villages. This paper discusses the project, focusing specifically on the application of aerial survey techniques and technologies.
