Historical buildings, as vital components of a nation’s cultural identity, require precise understanding, targeted diagnostics, and systematic conservation. The application of advanced technologies, particularly three-dimensional laser scanning, has had a significant impact on the field of architectural heritage. This technology plays a key role in documentation, non-destructive testing, and continuous monitoring of historic structures, enabling more accurate conservation interventions. The present study, emphasizing the Brandi and Feilden approaches to restoration (minimal intervention and the use of modern tools), aims to introduce recent advancements and innovative technologies to architects and conservators as rapid, valuable, and non-destructive solutions for documentation, diagnostics, and preservation of historic buildings.
In this research, documentation and diagnostics of historical structures are examined with a focus on 3D laser scanning, and the capabilities of this technology are assessed through case studies of the Tasuj Jame Mosque and the chimney of the Khosravi Leather Factory. The study is both applied and descriptive-analytical, highlighting the practical application of 3D laser scanning. The scan data provide accurate three-dimensional models of these structures, allowing for the analysis of damages such as vertical deviations, settlement, and structural cracks.
The Tasuj Mosque case study demonstrates how this technology enhances diagnostic accuracy for historical and cultural monuments, underscoring the importance of cultural heritage preservation. Moreover, the examination of the Khosravi Factory chimney emphasizes the significance of employing new technologies for surveying and documenting historic buildings, particularly those with challenges of height or limited accessibility. Findings indicate that 3D laser scanning, with its high precision and geometric analysis capabilities, is an effective tool in the processes of understanding, evaluating, and designing conservation interventions
