Methodology: How were the objectives reached? Which methods were used? Knowledge in archaeology, building or art history is generally of largely different certainty including contradictions and multivalencies, which unambiguou sly excludes true reconstructions in the sense that the reconstruction equals its origin. Instead there is a number of hypotheses that approximate the historic state. The visualisation of hypotheses with a special regard on uncertain knowledge, i. e. respecting and explicitely showing this uncertainty, is a counter position towards pretended reconstructions. Results: What are the results of the work? A number of projects e.g. in cooperation with the German Archaeological Institute DAI, the State's Museums in Berlin SMB (e.g. the first scientific 3D model of Pergamon and the Palatine palace in Rom, both presented in the Pergamon Museum Berlin), the Museum for Islamic Art Berlin (e. g. the Sasanian metropole Ktesiphon), funded by the German Research Foundation DFG and as part of the DFG Excellence Cluster TOPOI (mainly hosted by the universities FU Berlin and HU Berlin) that successfully visually mediated the state of science and its scientific characteristics among the scientists as well as to the public. Innovations: What is new and significant about your ideas, methods, and results? The visualisation of hypotheses has a higher scientific impact incorporating uncertain knowledge as in evitable characteristic of science. One way of visually expressing different possible states in one image is the use of abstract geometry. This implies a highly qualified handling of abstract geometry (model making) and imagery architectural photography) being a creative act of design with effect on the inner-scientific and public perception of the historic topic. So qualified architectural design makes the difference.}, language = {en} } @misc{Lengyel, author = {Lengyel, Dominik}, title = {Die Unsch{\"a}rfe in der Visualisierung von Ktesiphon}, series = {Bericht {\"u}ber die 49.

Our aim is to project the abstract virtual model as realistically as possible, using the technique we call 'virtual photography'.

This paper demonstrates how virtual modelling and virtual photography work hand-in-hand, respecting traditional architectural design modelling in order to translate hypotheses and uncertain knowledge, without adding more content than necessary, to induce an architectural vision. In addition, we also follow the design principles of traditional architectural photography. Traditional methods of representing architecture are therefore used in combination with high-end technological tools for creating familiar visual impressions. The benefit of this approach is that the main subject of the examination will be its content, despite its technological approach and appearance. Using the CAD tools of mechanical engineering, which allow geometrical definitions that go far beyond the architectural needs, and visualisation tools that approach the quality of simulations, the visualised hypotheses resemble studio photography of clay models, or realistic photography of abstract geometry.}, language = {en} } @misc{LengyelToulouse, author = {Lengyel, Dominik and Toulouse, Catherine}, title = {The building phases of Cologne Cathedral and its predecessors (with a special on inner choir 1856)}, series = {Dimensions reflected 2020}, journal = {Dimensions reflected 2020}, editor = {Obradović, Marija}, publisher = {Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade}, address = {Belgrad}, isbn = {978-86-6060-049-5}, pages = {21 -- 21}, abstract = {The two films show the current research results on the building phases of Cologne Cathedrals and its predecessors.

Completed at the end of the 19th century, the cathedral was given a new access structure ten years ago, which serves as an entrance to the tower ascent as well as to the archaeological zone, and in which the film about the construction phases is since exhibited. It was only in the middle of the 19th century that the wall that had closed off the Gothic choir to the west since the 14th century was removed. From this period numerous images of the interior have been preserved, but none of them show the central interior. The 150th anniversary of the cathedral chorus provided the opportunity to recapture this. Both visualizations translate scientific hypotheses. They have only been supplemented in those places where it was necessary to complete the architectural impression. As a result, the buildings appear abstract and only in the imaginative power of the observer do they become architecture again.}, language = {en} }
