Abstract
Digital technologies and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly relevant in various areas of human activity, in particular, in scientific research. If we talk about the history of architecture, then the technologies of extended reality (AR/VR) and 3D modeling are just beginning to be tested in this section of science. The focus is on 3D reconstruction of both individual historical monuments and larger objects. The article considers 3D reconstruction methods – manual modeling and various 3D scanning options, including the photogrammetric method. Artificial intelligence can also be used in different ways to advance technology. The article examines methods for recreating complex architectural objects, including cities, in a digital environment, in relation to different historical eras. As a separate area of research, a variant of reconstruction of unrealized architectural projects of famous authors is given. As working examples, digital 3D models of Moscow of the early 19th and 20th centuries, St. Petersburg of the early 18th century, Yaroslavl of the early 20th century and an alternative model of Moscow with implemented objects of the Russian avant-garde of the early 20th century and the general plan of 1935 are given. The prospects for further development of the described technology are assessed.
