Athena (2008)
The journey starts from the Archaic Period, from the Agora of Athens that was destroyed by the Persian Wars.
With the help of the goddess Athena, which rises from a rock, the spectators are transported into the
Classical Period and see the buildings that have been erected in the Agora. Using the remote control,
with which every seat is equipped, the spectators participate in the creation of the Poikile Stoa. Then,
they follow the Panathenaea procession and take part in the vote of ostracism of 416 BC. In the Hellenistic
Period they watch the construction of the Attalos Stoa. The visitors return to the present day, to the
diachronic values and the ideals that were born in the Ancient Agora and are part of our world heritage.

CREATE - The Asklepieion of Ancient Messene (2005)
CREATE (Constructivist Mixed Reality for Design, Education and Cultural Heritage),
co-financed by the European Union (IST-2001-34231), aims at developing Virtual Reality technologies that will combine 3D
photorealistic representations of real sites with advanced interactive capabilities.
Take part in an experience where you learn how to reconstruct part of an ancient
temple. Virtually "build" parts of it, beginning with a photo-realistic model of
the site as it is today and adding elements, piece by piece, in order to explore,
make judgements, examine alternative scenarios or experiment with different
possibilities and complete the final reconstruction.
The selected site is the ancient city of Messene, where we focus on the architectural
complex of the Asklepieion, and in particular on the Doric temple which is
located in its very center. The Doric temple represents one of the latest
examples of the order and is poorly preserved but very well documented. The
ongoing excavations, carried out by the subcontractor, provide us with
supplementary documentation that is currently being studied for the scenario design.
