abstract = {The Holy Aedicule of the Holy Sepulchre, an emblematic monument that has survived throughout the centuries, recently underwent a major and demanding rehabilitation under the responsibility of the National Technical University of Athens Interdisciplinary Team. The requirement for reinstating structural integrity to the Holy Aedicule, for preservation of the values it represents and for achieving a sustainable rehabilitation in a demanding environment, demanded a multidisciplinary approach utilizing multispectral monitoring techniques of the successive phases of the Holy Aedicule, prior, during and after the completion of the rehabilitation interventions. Specifically, a thorough geometric documentation was realized involving laser scanning and photogrammetric techniques, in order to obtain a 3D textured model of the Holy Aedicule, prior to the initiation of the works. At this phase, in parallel a diagnostic study was implemented, regarding the building materials and their decay phenomena, utilizing non-destructive techniques that document the surface of the monument and its state of preservation, while providing prospection of its internal structural layers. This information was crucial for the design of the restoration materials and rehabilitation interventions. The next phase involved dismantling of the exterior stone slabs from the facades. The revealed masonry was geometrically documented, to record the morphology of this internal layer and to optimize the design of the required interventions. The geometrical products verified the non-destructive prospection of the Aedicule. During the strengthening interventions the Tomb of Christ was opened, along with an "observation window" within the Tomb Chamber; their interiors were digitally documented, including materials information. Upon completion of the strengthening interventions (grouting, titanium elements, etc.), the columns were reset and the stone facades were reinstalled, and the Aedicule was "freed" from the British metal frame installed seventy years earlier. The final phase involved an interdisciplinary documentation of the rehabilitated structure.},
