Large Masonry Structure and its Restoration in and around Asia Minor

2000/2001财政年度是我们进行研究的最后一个财政年度，我们在2000年12月下半月至2001年1月上半月进行了实地调查。我们的调查结果随后以展览的形式进行了报告。将3月20日定为“圣索菲亚大教堂测量会议”，邀请海外同行参加。1)伊斯坦布尔的测量包括对整个内表面的非常详细的记录和对以下部分的一系列倾斜度测量：周围墙壁的内表面；扶壁；底层和画廊层的柱子都有。为了使整个调查得出令人满意的结论，特别考虑了补充工程。我们原计划像往常一样在9月份进行调查，但由于许可的延迟，我们不得不将工作推迟到冬季。虽然研究时间相对较短，但我们可以按照预定的时间表完成我们的项目。一对可移动的脚手架对于近距离检查墙的退化和测量拱顶特别有用。结果已经被处理和可视化。2)“圣索菲亚大教堂测量会议”历时9个小时，从9:00到18:00，非常成功，有16场演讲。相应的文章发表在本页所附的题为“圣索菲亚大教堂测量项目报告”的书中（222页正文和12个彩色图版）。在介绍了我们建筑调查的各种活动之后，举行了一个研讨会来讨论项目的未来发展。小组成员们建议将该项目从目前的学术调查扩大到未来修复的基础调查。除了为会议准备的书籍外，成员们还不时在学术公报上发表他们的论文。

The fiscal year of 2000/2001 is the last one for our research and we carried out our on-the-spot survey from the second half of December 2000 to the first half of January 2001. The result of our survey was then reported with an exhibition on. the 20^<th> March as "Hagia Sophia Surveying Conference", where overseas counterparts were invited.1) The survey at Istanbul consisted of a very detailed recording of the whole inner surface and a series of inclination measurements on the following parts : the inner surface of the surrounding walls ; the buttresses ; the columns both on the ground floor and on the gallery level. Particular consideration was given to supplementary works in order to bring the whole survey to a satisfactory conclusion. We had scheduled our survey in September as usual but due to the delay of the permission we had to postpone our work in winter. Despite the relatively short period of research, we could complete our program according to the prefixed schedule. A couple of movable scaffoldings were particularly useftul for the close inspection of the wall deterioration and for the measurement of vaults. The results have been being processed and visualized.2) The "Hagia Sophia Surveying Conference", that lasted 9 hours from 9 : 00 to 18 : 0O, was very successful with 16 presentations. Corresponding articles were published in the book entitled "Report of the Hagia Sophia Surveying Project" (222 page text and 12 color plates) attached to this sheet. After the presentations concerning various activities of our architectural survey, a symposium was held to discuss the future development of the project. The panelists suggested to widen the project from the present state of an academic survey to the next step as a fundamental survey toward a future restoration. Apart from the book prepared for the conference, members have been published from time to time their papers in academic bulletins.
