pompeii multilevel buildings digital reconstructions 1234758104

A new study published in the Pompeii Archaeological Park's online journal reveals that the ancient Roman city featured multilevel buildings far more impressive than previously understood. Using digital technology, the Pompeii Reset project—a collaboration between the Pompeii Archaeological Park and Humboldt University of Berlin—created 3D reconstructions of structures encased in ash during the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The case study focused on the House of Thiasus in Regio IX, where a 39-foot-tall tower with two levels, including a dining room with city views, was reconstructed. Researchers employed laser scanners, structured-light scanning, and photography to build digital models, then virtually added missing architectural elements like staircases and windows, testing them for structural plausibility.

Immersive institution could replace South Beach cinema

A shuttered Regal Cinema on Miami Beach's Lincoln Road may be transformed into the Superhuman Museum, an immersive institution led by Steve Berke, a comedian, cannabis entrepreneur, and former mayoral candidate. The Miami Beach Planning Board has approved a change-of-use permit for the project, which has backing from the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. The museum is designed as a guided journey combining elements of theme parks, art museums, and experiential venues, featuring facial scans, timed rooms, wireless wristbands, and a mix of tech-forward installations and traditional artworks by artists like Keith Haring and Yaacov Agam. A soft launch is targeted for November 2026, with a grand opening during Miami Art Week.

Archaeologists have unearthed the Roman Empire's second-largest olive oil processing complex in the Kasserine region of Tunisia, near the Algerian border. Co-directed by Ca' Foscari University of Venice, the excavation at the 33-hectare site called Henchir el Begar revealed a monumental torcularium with twelve beam presses, a second eight-press facility, oil mills, cisterns, and a water collection basin. The team also found artifacts including a copper-and-brass bracelet, a limestone projectile, and architectural elements dating from the modern to Byzantine periods. A Latin inscription confirms senatorial approval for a bimonthly market on the land in 138 AD, indicating the site was a hub for social, political, and religious life.
