4. HONOURS TO HANS FORAMITTI 
In 1968, Foramitti was awarded the silver order of merit of the 
Republic of Austria, and since 1976 he was Associated Foreign 
Member of the Belgian Academy of Science and Arts. 
Hans Foramitti died before he could become an Honorary 
Member of CIPA. The Foramitti Sessions shall be a greater 
honour, thanking and honouring this great personality and 
reminding future generations of an extraordinary cosmopolitan, 
developer and missionary of architectural photogrammetry and 
documentation.
