DESCRIPTION:\n\n  This workshop is designed for scholars interested in exp
 loring digital humanities methods for representing archival information an
 d rich narratives about historical urban spaces. Participants will be intr
 oduced to key topics\, approaches\, and tools\, such as working with spati
 al data\, 3D modeling\, photogrammetry\, data annotation\, AI tools\, and 
 telling stories with data.Workshop participants will work collaboratively 
 to create 3D\, information-enriched visualizations of the early 20th-centu
 ry Vrysaki neighborhood of Athens before its demolition. This work will dr
 aw on a unique collection of historic photographs and maps from the 1930s\
 , created by photographer M. Messinesi and held in Princeton’s Art and A
 rchaeology Department’s Visual Resources Collection.Through seminar disc
 ussions\, hands-on instruction\, and site visits\, participants will gain 
 a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges of communicatin
 g the history of lost city spaces through 3D visualizations\, while engagi
 ng with the complex history of Athens&#x27\; urban landscape. By the end o
 f the workshop\, participants will be equipped to develop their own digita
 l cultural heritage project.The workshop is open to scholars from all disc
 iplines\, regardless of technical background. Experience with spatial data
 \, 3D modeling\, or other digital tools and concepts is welcome but not re
 quired. This workshop will be of particular interest to those in Hellenic
