Visualizing Ancient Athens in 3D

To this purpose, the monuments are depicted in an “artistic” or “stylistic” way. This means that every part of a building, even the hypothetical ones, must be completely restored. Of course, before every building is modeled, there is a great amount of research conducted. I read as many scientific publications as possible, which add to the final accuracy of the reconstruction. Nevertheless, there are always parts of the city and monuments that remain unknown. These parts are restored in a way that although hypothetical, are based on testimonies and actual facts (similar constructions, samples from other cities of the same period etc).

Apart from my own studies, I have received help from specialists who are willing to share their knowledge and help this project grow. The most recent example is my collaboration with Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos, Professor of Archaeology in the University of Athens. This collaboration has helped the project move to another level of quality and accuracy and the results were very positively received. The most demanding of the buildings created in collaboration with Professor Kanellopoulos were the Library of Hadrian and the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
