Abstract
The article focuses to the application of photogrammetry in architectural practice and its role in developing the national architecture of Kazakhstan. The technology is considered as a modern tool that enables architects to quickly and accurately perform measurements, define proportions and create three-dimensional models of objects while preserving their visual characteristics. The aim of the study is to identify the potential of photogrammetry to improve the quality of design solutions and support creative search. The methodology is based on photo and video capture using a quadcopter or a smartphone. The obtained materials were processed in the 3D Zephyr software environment, which forms a point cloud and a spatial model. This approach eliminates the need for expensive equipment and provides the architect with an affordable tool for integrating 3D-models into the design process. The results of the study show that photogrammetry reduces the time for measurement work, allows for precise definition of proportions and helps identify errors even at the sketch stage. Using the example of the mausoleums “Kozy Korpesh-Bayan Sulu” and “Zhoshy Khan”, the study demonstrates the potential of digital preservation, as virtual models accurately capture the appearance and provide a foundation for future restoration work. In the author's design of the monument to Mukagali Makatayev, the technology made it possible to accurately build the ratio of sculpture and pedestal, ensure the expressiveness of the composition and speed up the approval process. The experience of applying photogrammetry confirms its significance for contemporary architectural practice. The technology integrates design, restoration and digital conservation, strengthens the link between traditions and innovations, opens new opportunities for the preservation and development of Kazakhstan‘s national architecture.
