Interactive 3D reconstructions make archaeological sites and lost architecture accessible at a global scale, placing rebuilt environments directly within their geographic context. Delivered through Google Earth, these experiences allow audiences to explore sites in relation to landscape, terrain, and surrounding settlements — preserving spatial accuracy while remaining easy to access.

This approach is especially effective for sites that are remote, inaccessible, or no longer standing, and supports both public engagement and educational use without the need for custom applications. The reconstructions shown below present sites from multiple regions and periods.

Delivering reconstructions through Google Earth enables:

  • Immediate public access without custom applications
  • Compatibility across devices and platforms
  • Easy integration into educational, curatorial, and interpretive programs

Institutions can present complex sites in an intuitive, navigable format that supports both guided storytelling and open exploration.

Our reconstructions are built to be modular and reusable, allowing institutions to deploy the same content across web, exhibition, and educational contexts. As platforms evolve, assets can be adapted without recreating core historical work.
