ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN VIRTUAL REALITY

In Hall 2 of the Institute of Art Studies on 18 April 2024 from 14:00 to 17:00 and on 19 April 2024 from 10:00 to 13:00 Arch. Dimitrina Popova, PhD, will present the digital reconstructions of the Thracian Tomb near Sheinovets peak in the Rhodope Mountains, a Roman villa in Obelya residential complex in the city of Sofia and a 19th-century house from the town of Teteven. The project explores opportunities to study and experience spaces of architectural values from different eras through digital technologies. There is an emphasis on sites of architectural heritage in the Bulgarian lands, where in a real environment the ancient architecture has disappeared or is inaccessible.

The scientific research and the presentation of the results are within the project of the National Scientific Programme for Development and Recognition of Bulgarian Studies Abroad (NNP “Bulgarian Studies”), Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 205 of 07.04.2022.
