Dresden church

Last year, at another college, I spoke to my architecture history professor about my goals of learning 3D modeling in order to recreate, in virtual reality, historic buildings as they once looked, although they might be in ruins today. He cautioned me that this would be a highly specialized field, involving rare and unique projects -- and he was very interested and encouraging. He tracked down information on this project for me, and this is indeed the very kind of project I would love to be a part of.

The Church of Our Lady in Dresden, Germany was an 18th century masterpiece of architecture, but it was destroyed by bombing in World War II. It remained as ruins for years, but now a reconstruction effort is underway. The exterior restoration has been completed, thanks in part to a computer model that demonstrated the former appearance of the church.
