The interactive exhibition ”The Evolution of the Princely Court of Iași” was organized by the Iași.Travel Association in partnership with the National Museum Complex “Moldova” Iași, in collaboration with Atelier Spre and co-financed by the City Hall of Iași through the annual financing program for non-governmental organizations and had its opening on Sunday, October 9, 2022 at the Museum of History of Moldova within the Palace of Culture – Iași.
Using the historical plans recently discovered by Prof. Laurențiu Rădvan and dr. Mihai Anatolii Ciobanu in the Moscow Archives, lithographs, archaeological research, text descriptions and photographs of the buildings in this area, the project brings to light, for the first time, in an interactive manner, the constructions within the perimeter of the Princely Court of Iași.
With the help of digital techniques, 3D modeling and printing, the project reconstructs, with a high degree of detail and fidelity, the different stages of evolution of the Princely Court of Iași, starting from the 18th century until today, showing, for the first time, the three-dimensional form of the Princely Court of Iași.
The project aims to consolidate knowledge of the evolution of the Princely Court of Iași with the help of digital and 3D technologies. In this way, young people will become more interested in cultural heritage and can become promoters of the role that the buildings in this area have had in the history of Iași and Moldova.
The multidisciplinary working team was formed by lect. dr. Lucian Roșu and Cosmin Ceucă – geographers, prof. univ. dr. Laurențiu Rădvan – historian, architect dr. Tiberiu Teodor-Stanciu, as well as specialists in three-dimensional modeling – Lucia Eșanu and Tudor Boicu and brings to the fore-front five stages of evolution of the Princely Court of Iași, digitally modeled and exhibited as 3D printed models.
