Mémoires Gothiques

I created this cathedral in the framework of a master’s and later PhD research about augmented and virtual reality applied to Cultural Heritage. This VR application, built in Unity, lets you navigate the different architectural polychromy schemes of a Gothic cathedral — focusing on the 13th and 19th centuries. I worked with art historian Anne Vuillemard-Jenn to restitute as plausible decorative schemes as possible. Alongside the historical reconstructions, I also created “emotional” décors that try to convey the different receptions and reinterpretations of medieval architecture across both periods.

13th Century — Historical

13th Century — Emotional

19th Century — Historical

19th Century — Emotional: Frightening

19th Century — Emotional: Melancholic
