Architects use 3D printing to rebuild parts of Palmyra
Archeological sites are not just ruins belonging to a certain country. Rather, they're treasures from the past that must be preserved.
Italian architects are now trying to recreate parts of the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra after it was destroyed by Daesh over the past year.
The project is being jointly managed by Harvard University, the University of Oxford and Dubai’s Museum of the Future.
The team is recreating the 2-thousand-year-old Triumphal Arch from the Temple of Bel. They're using 3D robotic printers to print the arch in Italy’s Carrara mountains in an attempt to bring the historic ruins back to life.
To make a 3-D mapping of the site, thousands of images of the ruins have been used.
Master craftsmen are using the latest technology to bring out their best. Once finished, the arch will be nearly six meters.
