What is it about?

Within the framework of the research on cloud computing on architecture, this paper will present both the results of terrestrial laser scanning which was used to obtain 3D point clouds through 3D survey measurements and scans of silhouettes of streets and roads.

Why is it important?

Istanbul Historical Peninsula, which connects Asia and Europe, and which has been valued by all civilizations that reigned in the vicinity throughout the history for its strategic position, is one of the rare settlements in the world which are divided by sea. The region has international importance and value, and it harbours some historical buildings which are worth protecting. Handing the architectural texture of the area as a whole down to the next generations is of great importance for our country as well as for world culture.

Perspectives

Examining Suleymaniye and its surroundings, one of the least-affected areas in the 1999 earthquake in Istanbul in this context, analysing the formation of structures and street textures and transforming them into city models provide further opportunities for future researchers as well.
