📕 Handbook of Digital 3D Reconstruction of Historical Architecture 👉 Chaired by Jun. Professor and Time Machine Organisation secretary Sander Münster, a network of experts from various research institutions all around Europe recently published this handbook for students, experts and interested parties who want to learn more about digital 3D reconstruction of historical architecture. 👉 The book provides answers to the core questions of the subject: What is a digital 3D model or a digital 3D reconstruction? How are they created and what are they used for? 👉 Practical instructions, condensed knowledge, explanations of technical terms and references to example projects, literature and further references provide information of varying density and thus enable an individual introduction to the subject. 👉 The book combines extensive knowledge on the topic of “digital 3D reconstruction of historical architecture” and provides practical instructions for independent implementation. Up to now, there has been no cross-disciplinary vocabulary for technical terms in this field, so this publication makes a start. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dbybi53m

📢Call for papers: SUMAC 2024 📆 tba (28 Oct – 1 Nov 2024) 📌 Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 📣 submission of papers by 19 Jul 2024 👉 The fifth version of the SUMAC (analySis, Understanding and proMotion of heritAge Contents) workshop, like its predecessors, focuses on #analyzing, #processing and #valorizing all types of #data related to #culturalheritage, including #tangible and #intangible heritage. The workshop will again be part of the annual ACM Multimedia conference. 👉 Digital heritage data acquired are naturally massive and address a large diversity of monomodal modalities (#text, #structuredreferentials, #image, #video, #3D, #music, #sensordata). Their processing and promotion put into light several scientific challenges as well as various new use cases that are of topical interest today. The SUMAC organisers strive to value the sharing of knowledge, algorithms and experiments – and also #opensource software and #opendata. 👉 Abundant heritage data is available in the most recent years. Older data, that can be called the #bigdata of the past, are mostly locked – they currently remain largely “hidden” from the public, in #galleries, #libraries, #archives, #museums or data producers’ infrastructures. Processing heritage data to increase their visibility will act as a game changer and contribute to a large panel of communities. Organisers: Valerie Gouet-Brunet (IGN, Université Gustave Eiffel and Time Machine Organisation Board member), Ronak Kosti (Pattern Recognition Lab, FAU) and Li Weng (Zhejiang Financial College). ▶️ More information: https://lnkd.in/dFrFpYDX

📢 ICARUS Convention #32 – Registration is open! 👉 Thanks to the contributions from inside and outside the #ICARUS network, our colleagues in Novi Sad, Serbia 🇷🇸, were able to compile a spectacular programme, filling the days between 📆 5-7 June 2024 with inspiring presentations and dedicated sessions, while not leaving out on opportunities for social interactions and getting to know the city and history of Novi Sad and Vojvodina.

In Brussels with Ingeborg Verheul to present our work on the European and Amsterdam Time Machine projects for the Europeana and Belgium Presidency high level event that marks the end of the Twin It! campaign to collect and reuse the digital 3D models of our European cultural heritage: https://lnkd.in/eQz3vhbY

📢 WOWO – Wood Origami Workshop @ ISCTE 📆 October 1-4, 2024 📌 VitruviusFabLab , Iscte, Lisbon 🇵🇹  🇬🇧 🇵🇹 Language: English or Portuguese 👉 Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is a powerful tool for exploring and obtaining formal solutions for the enclosing of spaces. Its use can be found in different architectural design contexts in response to varied conditions. It is also an engaging educational aid for teaching principles of geometry, materials science, and design thinking. 👉 In this workshop, Wood Origami (WOWO), all trainers will design a self-supporting shelter, based on the rigid origami principles. Then they will construct a small-scale model using digital fabrication techniques and renewable materials. 👉 WOWO is based on a learn-by-doing approach, providing students with the opportunity to understand and experiment with origami geometry to design self-supporting architectural surfaces, built with wood flat panels. 👉 Focusing on rigid and flat-foldable origami surfaces, emerging architecture challenges and constraints will be addressed to design the structure. Origami surfaces behave in a particular way through folding, from a planar state to a new planar state (flat-foldable Origami), after the folding process. The faces must maintain rigidity and flatness during the folding process, the only change occurs at the creases, which act as revolute joints. This approach ensures that the folding of the surface aligns closely with rigid kinematics, enabling highly accurate, geometry-based digital simulations.  📣 WOWO is organised by our partner ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa. ▶️ More information: https://lnkd.in/dDf-usFM
