English Abstract

Documentation of historical buildings is considered one the most important phases of preserving the architectural heritage.

It helps to find out the historical buildings and to identify their historical and cultural values, as well as to clarify their construction and architectural status.

It appeared from reviewing available documentation of the historical buildings in Gaza city, that has been done over the last years by some local institutions, that there is a lack of a comprehensive reference includes inclusive documentation of those buildings, and what has been accomplished in this field lacks integration and many information necessary to complete the documentation process.

Therefore, the centre for architectural heritage at the Islamic university of Gaza began a project of documenting the historic buildings in the Gaza Strip to provide a memory that preserves these buildings from the loss and extinction, and to be as a first step in the direct intervention and the architectural restoration.

The paper presents the center's experience in documenting the historic buildings in Gaza city only, which was conducted as a first step on the hope to complete the documentation later to include all other cities in the Gaza Strip.

The study highlights the different phases of the documentation process, which included firstly a collection and analysis of information and then a digital documentation using GIS, which is characterized by ease of access to information, the possibility of development, and providing an integrated database for all concerned.

The first phase included a series of steps, which included field surveys, descriptions of the architectural and historic buildings, taking photographs, geometrical documentation of plans and elevations of buildings and creating 3-dimensional models of the buildings using the computer applications.

The paper also explained the documentation techniques using GIS and the various methods of classifications and how this can facilitate access to any piece of information about the buildings.

The study pointed out the advantages of that experience as well as the difficulties faced the work in the project and suggestions for overcoming them.
