Alep, un voyage au cœur de 5.000 ans d’histoire

The Boghossian Foundation inaugurates an immersive and digital exhibition dedicated to Aleppo, the thousand-year-old city. Since 2012, the Syrian civil war has ravaged the city of Aleppo. Bombings and ground fighting have taken a heavy toll on the civilian population, but also on heritage. It is estimated that several hundred historical buildings were damaged or destroyed. Even today it is difficult to list what was lost in these destructions and what can be saved. Thanks to several field missions in 2017, Iconem's teams, specialized in the digitization of endangered heritage, managed to establish 3D models of several major monuments in the old city of Aleppo. This work, in addition to virtually safeguarding this heritage and allowing remote analysis, makes the remains of Syrian architecture accessible to the general public.
