The KAMBE Project completed a 3D modeling and visualization program, aimed at gaining insight into some of the experiential aspects of Late Cypriot urban space–especially the interplay of architectural design, movement, and visibility.  The model of Building X at Kalavasos Ayios Dhimitrios was constructed by UBC alumni Lisa McLean using Autodesk’s Maya (Figure 1).  It is based on published site plans (rather than the laser-scanned data we’ve collected).

The visualizations below show the Central Court (Figure 2) and Pithos Hall (Figure 3). The model is able to be imported into a 3D gaming engine to allow user navigation.
