ECDS has specialists that offer support for 3D modeling, a digital approach to representing physical spaces, structures, and objects in three dimensions. This method is widely used in research, teaching, and public engagement projects to visualize data such as historic environments and scientific simulations. Methods used in 3D modeling that we can provide consultations for include:
We can assist you with 3D modeling by identifying the right tools for your project, providing guidance on workflows and file formats, and helping you integrate 3D content into websites, exhibits, or publications.
The website for this large research database showcases 3D ship reconstructions made by ECDS to visualize conditions aboard slave vessels, enhancing public understanding of the transatlantic slave trade through spatial interpretation of archival data.
Using the life’s work of a single artist, this project reconstructs the city of Rome in the 17th-century through detailed 3D models of churches, piazzas, and urban spaces to explore architecture, spatial planning, and papal vision in Baroque urbanism.
In collaboration with the ongoing excavation on the Greek island, this project uses 3D modeling to digitally reconstruct ancient sanctuary buildings and terrain, helping interpret archaeological remains and visualize historical phases of the sacred site.
