With years of experience in reconstructing the past, Dr. Lulof realised that 3D modelling could be a powerful research tool not only in archaeology, but to every discipline within the Humanities concerned with built environment. She founded the lab in 2012, eight years after her first 3D reconstruction of the Late Archaic temple of Satricum. Her academic specialisations include pre-Roman temple construction, architectural terracottas and temple roof systems.
