This project is dedicated to architectural reconstruction of historic buildings with layers of reconstructed action using different technological platforms. We combine representation methods that currently exist in isolation - architectural plans, sections, elevations, movement schemes, sound distribution, sources describing actual ceremonies and people's experiences, and documents about building phases – into a single 3D model that can be accessed as a desktop tour and a VR experience. The VR version allows a 360 degree subjective experience of the space, as captured here in a video from the Oculus VR headsets:
