Styliadis, A.D.: Monuments Manipulation with an easy-touse GUI, 1995 (in press).

Millet M., Cohan P., and Hildebrand G.: ArchiMedia - A prototype library of building case studies. Novitski, B.J.: Constructive Communication, Computer Graphics World, June 1993, 35–38. Obviously the prototype could be expanded into a complete CD-ROM library of relative monuments for eventual distribution to promotion agencies, educational establishments, etc. Finally a navigation system, based on MacroMind’s Director and IBM’s Storyboard Live!, was used to link everything together. The church model was enhanced by a number of scanned photographs which have been manipulated with Aldus Photostyler image-editing software. In our pilot application and in order to create the prototype, a 3D church model based on existing old drawings (in scale 1:50) was used. The monuments CAD models could be combined with raster images (photos), video clips, recorded sounds, etc, to show in a realistic way the proposed ideas of the Architect, and then Archaeologists could use the new presentation technology and particularly authoring tools for monuments promotion. The computer based multimedia technology has begun to automate architectural designing giving promizes in monuments CAAD manipulation and better chances for monuments presentation using authoring tools. This kind of structures has always be described by the Architects through a variety of traditional means, like drawings, writing and scale models. Churches and other structures in monuments family are quite complex objects technically, functionally and visually.
