Throughout history we've lost countless historical sites to conflict, natural disasters and neglect. UNESCO created Reclaiming History, an online museum that asks the world to help rebuild the monuments. People can help rebuild the artifacts and monuments by image searching, image sorting, scanning, 3D modelling and photogrammetry. Once the sites have been rebuilt, everyone is invited to discover the models and learn about their history. Visit the site here www.reclaimhistory.org.
Above are photos taken of four of the 3D printed models that were exhibited at the New York MAD (Museum of Art and Design). Below is an example of one the 3D models that was rebuilt using scanning and photogrammetry.
