Territorial domains – competences integration model: geographical and cultural data, archaeological heritage, urban reconstruction project through “augmented reality” techniques

The present paper introduces the research and design initiative of the Politecnico di Milano – BEST Department in collaboration with MIRAS, concerning the application of an integrated set of technologies to the surveying and digital modeling of archaeological sites in Azerbaijan. The range of interested scientific and technological competences that are implemented in the data mining, data sets representation and elaboration into digital models, ambitiously aims at reconnecting a quantity of knowledge fragments concerning the ancient Capitol City of Shirvanshah Khanate Agsu and its history, the layout of which was lost through dramatic historical events, including the deportation of the archives by military occupants or political Institutions aiming at a strict centralization and banishment to exile of ethnic traditions. The synergy among technologies extended from the Geographical surveys and Information Systems towards architecture and engineering of building constructions is awaited to recompose the lost mosaic of this culture.
