Documentation II: Heritage Recording and Site Analysis
Surveying and recording the physical and cultural characteristics of the built environment to include historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, urban districts, and cultural landscapes is a prerequisite of professional preservation best practice. A rigorous and accurate physical documentation provides the platform for facilitating property designations, developing conservation plans, providing a record of change over time, serving as a permanent record in cases where demolition may be considered, and measuring energy performance.
