TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF RECORDING COLORS IN DOCUMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the attitude towards color as an element of architectural cultural heritage in the context of the legislative requirements, from the standpoint of practice, and in the perspective of international charters, conventions and other doctrinal texts. It highlights the questions of the valuation of documentation as a component of heritage, and the importance of its conservation and upgrading during the entire lifetime of heritage. Next, the measurement of color, the technological background of digital photography, high dynamic range imaging and laser scanning for recording the color information on heritage are presented. It was established that there is no technological barrier for recording information on colors. There are certain limitations in the interpretation and further reproduction of the recorded information. However, the gap between the common understanding of and regard for the importance and the declared value of heritage with its color component on the one hand and the contents of stored documents about color on the other hand is more important. The debate is thus extended to the international principles and practice of documenting the heritage in the broad sense and in connection with its color component. This is discussed in terms of accuracy, precision and singularity of the recorded color information and the impact of planning on the relevance and usefulness of the data about it. The article concludes with a reflection on the owner's role in preserving the architectural and cultural heritage and its documentation.
