Tiahuanaco: A Modern Revision
Course Description
This course will "restore" the Pre-Incan site of Tiahuanaco referencing scholarly research, photography, and existing data from relevant satellite contemporaneous sites' building technologies in the Tiahaunaco Basin. The data will be utilized to "faithfully" create a virtual model using advanced modeling technologies and rendered in a 3D game engine. The restoration will concentrate on the "monumental core" including, the Akapana Pyramid, Kalasasaya, the Semi-Subterranean Temple, Putuni, and the satellite site Puma Punku.
