Abstract
The aim of this project is to show scholars and tourists what they cannot see because it is enclosed within the pages of the Athanasius Kircher’s Archontologia. This was done thanks to the implementation of a workflow divided into two parts. The first part concerns the reconstruction of the model of the Turris Babel. This represents the most challenging part of the entire pipeline as it involves creating a model of an imagined architecture that never existed. By combining advanced photogrammetry and 3D modelling techniques, the model was created from the images in the text and compared with other designs of the tower. The second part of the workflow is the design of an augmented reality app to make the model of the tower navigable in 3D and available to the public.
