3D Laser Scanning at the Red Monastery Church Project
The 5th c. Red Monastery church preserves much of its original, fragile painted decoration intact. 3D laser scanning will create a very high resolution (geospatial and photographic) record of it. Project Director: Nicholas Warner
| For well over a decade, ARCE has been documenting, conserving and studying the late fifth-century Red Monastery church, near Sohag. The monument has gone from almost total obscurity, at the beginning of the project, to international prominence, now recognized as one of less than ten churches from the early Byzantine period that have survived with a major part of their original decoration intact. |
