Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates the role of 3D modelling in enhancing our understanding of the spatial arrangement and representational character of a room in a 17th century Dutch home. The case study presented here is the entrance hall (“voorhuis” in Dutch) of the house of Pieter de Graeff and Jacoba Bicker located at Herengracht 573 in Amsterdam. This research draws upon a heterogenous dataset which includes the surviving architecture, the probate inventory of De Graeff’s properties that was drawn up after his death, and the almanacs in which he recorded some of the construction works in the house. This paper shows how the “materialization” of the inventoried objects in a 3D model suggests otherwise unnoticeable intentions and visual cues underlying their disposition within the room. In addition, this approach offers a non-intrusive and non-destructive way of visualizing past building phases and a room’s forgotten function which prompts a more dialogical engagement with architectural heritage in comparison to permanent physical reconstructions.
