3D Documenting the Roman Forum: A New Perspective on World Heritage Sites Register Now!
Academic Lecture: Thursday, September 16; 6:00PM – 8:00PM
When it comes to documentation of World Heritage sites like the Roman Forum, one of Rome’s most revered classical landmarks, digital documentation can be of great help in understanding the context of the place from remote locations. In 2007, Krupali Krusche started the D.H.A.R.M.A. (Digital Historic Architectural Research and Material Analysis). Her team spent the summer of 2010 documenting the Forum using both traditional hand measuring as well as cutting-edge digital methods, producing a collection of 3D scans, 3D walkthrough simulations, panoramic views, and much more. In this lecture, Professor Krusche will share some fascinating results of this in-depth research project, a work in progress, as well as discuss its significance in highlighting and showcasing the living tradition of classical architecture.
