Organised by the International Network for Architecture and Archaeology, in Cooperation with the Italian Cultural Institute in Istanbul, and the Architecture Department of “G. d’Annunzio” University Chieti-Pescara.  Scientific Coordinator: Alessandro Camiz (“G. d’Annunzio” University Chieti-Pescara, Architecture Department). The conference will be held in English.

The international conference Architecture and Archaeology in Anatolia: Turkish–Italian Research Cooperation brings together architects, archaeologists and historians to discuss the study, interpretation and conservation of architectural and archaeological heritage. Anatolia, with its extraordinary historical stratification, provides a privileged context for interdisciplinary research, combining archaeological investigation, architectural history, urban morphology and contemporary design methodologies. The conference promotes academic dialogue between Turkish and Italian universities and research institutions, encouraging the exchange of scientific approaches and experiences. Its contributions address the documentation, reconstruction and conservation of archaeological sites and historical buildings, exploring the potential of digital technologies, architectural education and interdisciplinary collaboration. Beyond presenting ongoing research, the event aims to strengthen existing academic relationships and foster new opportunities for joint research initiatives between Italy and Türkiye.

Ten years of digital documentation in Asia Minor

Ten years of digital documentation in Asia Minor, Archeomatica Cultural Heritage Technologies, Quarterly Magazine, Year XVII Issue 3 – 2025, ISSN 2037-2485.

This issue of Archeomatica serves as a reflection on a decade of exploration, spanning from 2014 to 2025. It is a journey through the “palimpsest” of human history, centered primarily in ancient Asia Minor—where architecture is not viewed as a static monument, but as a living phenomenon.

At the heart of this collection is the belief that reading the built environment is a complex operation. It requires more than just technical precision; it demands rigorous preparation, interdisciplinary skills, and a refined intuition to interpret the resonance of intentions and events that have shaped these places over centuries.

Through this collection and workshop outcomes, we invite you to explore how modern surveying practices and contemporary technologies can become tools for abstraction, comprehension ultimately embedding the lessons of the past into the future experience of the architect.
