From Historical Documentation to 3D Model Creation: The pavilion of Hungary at the Turin 1911 International Fair

Abstract: Preserving documentary legacy is crucial for promoting cultural values, education, and societal growth. However, challenges such as environmental factors, financial concerns, and legal requirements necessitate proper preservation strategies. Advancements in 3D modeling and digital technologies have revolutionized the study and preservation of historical architecture, enhancing understanding and communication. Rendering engines and immersive technologies play a crucial role in 3D modeling and visualization, empowering artists to enhance visual quality and engagement. The Turin 1911 project focuses on digitally reconstructing historical buildings, addressing limitations to achieve a faithful representation. The Pavilion of Hungary serves as a notable case study, showcasing comprehensive approaches to creating accurate 2D representations and subsequent 3D models. The 3D modeling phase involves shape creation, refinement in 3Ds Max Studio, and optimization for AR experiences. Preservation of documentary legacy, advancements in 3D modeling, rendering engines, and immersive technologies contribute to preserving, understanding, and visualizing historical documents and architectural heritage. The Turin 1911 Case Study demonstrates the challenges and meticulous steps involved in digitally reconstructing historical buildings, creating immersive experiences for viewers. The integration of preservation strategies, digital technologies, and immersive experiences contributes to protecting and enhancing cultural heritage for present and future generations.
