ABSTRACT

Documentation is a vital process of learning about heritage. The tangible and intangible legacies
of a society and a place can be recorded through texts, drawings, maps, photographs, videos, audio,
products, artefacts and other means to create narratives that could be shared to foster intergenerational
knowledge transfer on heritage. As the use of technology becomes more common, the techniques of
documentation and exhibition for heritage have also evolved. This study aims to examine how the
techniques of documentation and exhibition have shifted from analogue to digital integration. This study
draws upon seven projects on landscape heritage conducted in Malaysia and Indonesia as part of the
landscape architecture undergraduate programme. The documentation and exhibition techniques
employed in each project are categorised based on their instruments, processes, and output. The forms
of documentation are then analysed based on their potentials and constraints in recording and exhibiting
the projects’ findings effectively and efficiently. The study found that the combination of analogue and
digital techniques has more advantages for heritage documentation. The learnings gained from conducting
these projects using the various techniques have underscored the importance of reflection, evaluation,
exploration, adaptation, and refinement in the process of heritage documentation.
