VR HISTORIOGRAPHY - THE CASE OF WADI SALIB
2021-2023 SeminarMaterial Topology Research Lab, Technion IIT
The design seminar given during the spring semester of 2021-2022. The seminar explored the theoretical and practical potentials of VR as
historiography. The proposals presented here explore different approaches to representing the history of Wadi Salib through using a set of digital
and computational tools. Each project attempted to augment the site’s history by engaging with archival objects: governmental reports, photos, planning documents, and other modes of evidence, while also including segments of the actual site brought into a virtual environment by deploying 3D scanning techniques. The projects explored different approaches to extracting spatial features from evidence about the site and reconstructing the spaces of the archive.
