Cooperations

Since 2021, the Ostia Forum Project has been cooperating with Jakob Korbel and Marcus Gottschalk from the Technical University of Berlin. The purpose of this corporation is to visualise the hypotheses from the excavations. The results from the work are exhibited at the Tieranatomisches Theater in Berlin until September 15. For more details on the cooperation, see here and here.

In connection with the exhibition at the Tieranatomisches Teater in Berlin, the Ostia Forum Project had a close collaboration with the ViNN:Lab from the Technichal Hochschule Wildau just outside of Berlin, where a team made three 3D-prints of two objects and the room TFR 2.
