Daylight not only determines the daily routine in Antiquity, but also structures the various activities within a residential building. With a multidisciplinary approach, the BMBF-funded project “ΦΩΣ 4D” applies genuine digital methods to investigate how usage scenarios can be simulated and reconstructed in different room constellations. In the process, 3D reconstruction, daylight simulation, finds and ancient sources overlap.
