Abstract

Media architecture increasingly shapes the mediation between cultural content and visitors in heritage sites. This pictorial examines the potential of the heritage building itself to act, through media architecture, as a presentational object to trigger a more inclusive way of tracing the past. We present the design, implementation and effects within an ancient monument at the foot of the Acropolis, Athens. Using a multimedia projection of animations, combined with sound effects and narration, this novel work fuses the building walls and media projection to reveal the ancient monument's layers of history, and communicate the cross-cultural encounters across time. We discuss key design insights, with a focus on media content development from a museological-conceptual and architectural-spatial points of view, and, based on visitors’ response, argue that, by adding a richness of perception and presenting the past “as a field of experience”, media architecture introduces visitors to new modes of seeing and experiencing heritage sites.
