Virtual Heritage Dissemination and Immersive Learning
Lost architectural heritage refers to buildings, structures, or other physical features of the built environment that have been damaged or altered over time to such an extent that they are irretrievable through physical experience alone. This loss can occur for many reasons like neglect, disaster, demolition, or renovation works. Such heritage is commonly known to us through sparse sources of multiple and varied layers of the past that are often uncertain and contradictory. Each lost artifact uncovers cultural, social, and spiritual significances embedded within dynamic relations that are ambiguous from a contemporary mindset.
