Abstract

3D printing for the reinterpretation of architectural heritage stands out as one of the most efficient ways of using contemporary printing technologies in terms of architecture. The aim of the study is to present a comprehensive methodology on how to use 3D printing techniques for reinterpretation of architectural heritage. In this context, the scope of the study consists of pioneering information obtained from literature studies focusing on the details of the use of three-dimensional printing techniques in the promotion, preservation and remodeling of cultural heritage and architectural heritage components. The method of the study was determined as identifying leading themes through literature research and presenting a method proposal by grouping conceptually related themes. The unique value of the study is important in that the model to be created offers a potential to affect mass production tools, offices and local governments by incorporating contemporary architectural heritage products into a modeling process that can produce more innovative and faster solutions. The findings of the study show that the different techniques used can respond to different detail scales and different contextual challenges. Each modeling method and strategy creates different feedback mechanisms, mediating the recognition of the architectural heritage element by larger user groups or the more effective protection of the architectural heritage element. In the model presented as a result of the study, which mediates the gathering of the techniques used in different sample projects on a common working ground with a series of successive strategies, a comprehensive basis for which 3D printing solution will be used for which problem is presented and solution suggestions are offered for a case-oriented 3D printing strategy.
