New Publication: ‘Digitale 3D-Modelle historischer Architektur – Entwicklung, Potentiale und Analyse eines neuen Bildmediums aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive’, Doctoral Dissertation by Art Historian Heike Messemer
Cover of the doctoral disertation „Digitale 3D-Modelle historischer Architektur – Entwicklung, Potentiale und Analyse eines neuen Bildmediums aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive“ by Heike Messemer, 2020
On May 12, 2020 Heike Messemer’s doctoral dissertation „Digitale 3D-Modelle historischer Architektur – Entwicklung, Potentiale und Analyse eines neuen Bildmediums aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive“ was published by arthistoricum.net in Heidelberg.
The book offers for the first time a wide and thorough overview of the genesis of digital 3D reconstructions of historical architecture from an art historical perspective. It focuses on the various potentials of the new medium of 3D reconstructions for research and gives detailed insight into important projects of 3D models of historical architecture from the 1980s until the 2010s. Essential questions and needs of action in the areas of visualization of hypotheses, long-term archiving and documentation of the reconstruction process are discussed.
