Abstract
InterArch is an ongoing research project, aiming at proposing a design of a site-based digital application, enhancing the cultural identity of archaeological sites. The city of Ancient Messene, considered as one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece is used as the research case study.
Digital technology is used to decisively vitalize interactive experience. Integrating the real-world environment with the endless realm of digital data facilitates the implementation of multisensory narratives in real time, engaging a multidimensional approach.
Non-linear narratives, both in terms of conceptual context and types of data are generated to highlight mnemonic and intangible references of the archaeological site. They thus reveal the complexity of ideological and imaginary frameworks and invigorate personal process of producing differentiated semantic interpretations and interrelations, in an extended number of possible multilingual and trans-cultural approaches.
This research proposes a design interactive process, in which visitors’ physical presence on site, implementing GPS locators, is considered as a pivotal issue. Useful insight, concerning the way visitors engage and interact with their surroundings, may be positively applied in an analogous way, to similar archaeological sites.
