Abstract：This article describes the process toward recovery of the lost Chen Clan Temple Pool based on historic photos. The study began with historic records of the temple and its demolished surroundings, where gradual decoding of the photo dates enabled recovery of the three-dimensional measurement data for integration into the design of the recovered pool. In addition to describing the procedures applied, this article describes the practical intersection of urban historical study and perspective restoration from historic photos for heritage conservation, and specifically how incorporation of the perspective restoration technique into the design process delivers a better outcome in heritage conservation design protection.
