Restoring the image of French concession tourane (Danang) using the method of graphical reconstruction of urban architectural space

Abstract

As a developing country, the process of urbanization has been, is, and will continue to take place strongly in cities in Vietnam. This leads to the original architecture and planning of some cities in danger of being forgotten. For the central areas of old cities, the digitization of ancient architectures plays an important role in preserving architectural and planning heritages. This article emphasizes the method of graphical reconstruction of urban architectural space in the process of digitizing ancient cities in Vietnam. The research approaches the research object by synthesizing, analysing and comparing different input data sources: maps, text documents, survey results, photographic data. Then, the graphics of urban architectural space of ancient cities are reproduced in different steps, from simple to detailed.
