3D-Bridge – Transferring of Cultural Heritage with New Technology Conference builds a bridge for future research collaboration!

NEW TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANISTIC SCIENCE ENCOUNTERS

Digital visualisation and measurement technologies are part of everyday life in information technology, but how can they be exploited in humanistic research and in the protection of cultural heritage? We seek answers to this question through five European target areas in the 3D-Bridge – Transferring of Cultural Heritage with New Technology Conference held in Rome on the 19th and 20th of June 2006.

The conference is organised by the 3D-Bridge – Transferring of Cultural Heritage with New Technology project coordinated by the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). The starting point of the project is the research of European cultural heritage and the application of the results e.g. in building preservation in practise. The project aims at developing tools of new technology for the visualisation of cultural heritage, which is hoped to transfer the European tradition of fostering cultural heritage into the language of future societies and future media generations.

The conference deals with the starting points of 3D visualisations from the aspects of archaeology, art history, building preservation, cultural environment education and tourism. The observation focuses on Filippo Juvarra’s palace and garden plan (Rome, Italy), the archaeological excavations at Villa Castelporziano (Italy), the building construction of St. Trinitatis Church in Liepaja (Latvia), the interior of Valamo Monastery Church (Russia) and the modelling project of old campus in Jyväskylä (Finland). The lecturers at the conference are experts of the 3D-Bridge – Transferring of Cultural Heritage with New Technology project, who work in different parts of Europe; in universities, research institutes, polytechnic universities, foundations and enterprises.

The language of the conference is English. Welcome!
