The "Theseus Tempel" in Wien. Digital results one year after the CHNT 16 measurement seminar.

Abstract: The classic architecture and its image, strong in the imagery as in its real manifestation, it can be found in the shape of a rich sample in the Theseus Temple in the Volksgarten in Vienna. During the Cultural Heritage and New Technologies 16 workshop in November 2011 a well participated seminar took place in this location, under the guide of G. Verdiani, B. Ridderhof and W. Beex, and with the collaboration of R. Rudorfer, the whole monument was surveyed in all the over ground parts, the whole work was made together with the participants to the seminar and it allowed a good coverage of the whole building. During the past year, starting from the registered pointcloud it has been possible to reconstruct the digital surface model in a new, well defined, setup. Starting from the previous survey our work proceed in taking the photogrammetrical survey of the Canova’s Theseus statue, reading the drawings from Pietro Nobile (the author of the temple) and analyzing, through the post-processing of these data, the Wiener neoclassic temple in its proportions and dimensions. After that the comparison between the “Theseus Tempel” and real classical model has found its result for produce some hypothesis about a new overall setup for the Theseus Temple because of exploring this monument from its state at now and a possibility of future evolutions. So our proposed themes are aimed to present the seminar work and how the data produced at that time has worked as the base for a new specific research about this interesting monument.
