Built Heritage in Cyprus

This paper presents two workshops in Cyprus focused on documenting and rethinking the use of historical built heritage: the Acheiropoietos Monastery (2014) and Kyrenia Castle (2018). Using 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and UAV surveys, the projects revealed multiple construction phases, structural features, and historical layers. Special attention was given to the Kyrenia Shipwreck and wall graffiti. The resulting digital models supported architectural analysis, conservation strategies, HBIM development, and museum enhancement proposals. These workshops demonstrate how interdisciplinary approaches and advanced digital methods can effectively study, preserve, and valorize cultural heritage.
