The Rapid Emergency Documentation (RED) program implemented by CyArk and supported by the Aliph Foundation was successfully implemented in Bangladesh, demonstrating how digital documentation techniques can be used to produce architectural drawings via a standardized methodology in under 48 hours. The program successfully trained 18 students and faculty from three universities in Bangladesh (Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Jahangirnagar University; Architecture Discipline, Khulna University; Architecture Discipline, Ruet University) who demonstrated their expertise and mastery of the presented concepts via a disaster simulation where they successfully completed every step of the methodology in under 48 hours. Six historic sites were documented by the workshop participants, including two World Heritage sites, providing detailed and measurable baseline data on their current state of conservation.
