◆Persepolis Reimagined

3D Cultural Heritage: Archaeology and Ancient Architecture
Enter a reconstruction and reconsider historical space.
A photograph provides one viewpoint. A digital reconstruction places distances, passageways and building layouts into a shared space. Start with the interactive Persepolis experience to build a spatial overview before studying architectural details.
Historical reconstruction may combine surviving remains, written sources and interpretation. A complete digital building does not mean that every part survives or carries the same level of evidence. Read the original creators’ reconstruction notes alongside your exploration.
Questions to explore
- How are building axes, passages and open spaces organized?
- What different information appears from ground level and from above?
- Which parts reflect surviving remains, and which are interpretations?
