L’Institute of Digital Archaeology propose une nouvelle façon de faire revivre le temple de Bel de Palmyre, détruit en août 2015. Il s’agit de reconstruire en 3D son arche monumentale (en partie encore debout actuellement) grâce à la photogrammétrie, puis de l’imprimer en 3D en taille réelle pour pouvoir l’exposer à Londres et New York.

L’IDA est un consortium composé de L’université de Harvard, l’Université d’Oxford et le Musée pour le Future de Dubaï.
L’Institut est également impliqué dans plusieurs projets, dont un ayant pour volonté de fournir à des volontaires des appareils photos 3D pour documenter les sites culturels à risque au Moyen-Orient et dans le Nord de l’Afrique : “The Million Image Database” (article à venir).

A propos du projet d’impression 3D de l’arche du temple de Bel :

“The aim of our proposed installation is to draw attention to the global crisis surrounding the looting and despoliation of cultural heritage objects and architecture and the importance of celebrating the beauty and significance of these objects to the everyday lives of modern people.” Dr Alexy Karenowska, Director of Technology at the Institute for Digital Archaeology, told The Independent.

The Institute of Digital Archaeology,is proposing a new way to revive the destroyed temple of Bel in Palmyra: to reconstruct it in 3D with photogrammetry and to 3D print it life-size in order to expose it in London and New York.

The IDA is a joint venture between Harvard University, the University of Oxford and Dubai’s Museum of the Future.
The Institute is currently involved in other projects, including one that aims at supplying volunteers with 3D cameras to document at-risk cultural sites throughout the Middle East and North Africa: “The Million Image Database” (article to come).
