A team in the department of architecture and conservation at Lviv Polytechnic National University is using a Leica laser scanner to create architectural records of Ukraine’s cultural heritage. A team of conservators and students are scanning Ukraine’s unique wooden churches, creating permanent, 3D records. Ultimately, the goal is to create detailed architectural plans for every church that’s scanned, says project leader Mykola Bevz, head of the architecture and conservation department. He helped get UNESCO World Heritage recognition for 16 wooden churches in the Carpathian region of Ukraine and Poland in 2013. Of Ukraine’s well over 2,000 wooden tserkvas, more than 140 have already been damaged.
