3D reconstruction hypothesis of the 17th century entrance hall ('voorhuis') of Herengracht 573, Amsterdam

3D reconstruction hypothesis of the 17^th century entrance hall (‘voorhuis’) of Herengracht 573 in Amsterdam based on information retrieved from the probate inventory (10.5281/zenodo.7501160) and the VOC almanacs of Pieter de Graeff, and building historical research. The 3D reconstruction hypothesis and related sources are discussed in Chiara Piccoli, 'Home-making in 17th century Amsterdam: A 3D reconstruction to investigate visual cues in the entrance hall of Pieter de Graeff (1638-1707)', in G. Landeschi and E. Betts (eds.), Capturing the Senses. Digital Methods for Sensory Archaeologies (Cham: Springer, 2023 forthcoming).

The 3D voorhuis can be interactively explored via the prototype Virtual Interiors webviewer (https://www.virtualinteriorsproject.nl/output/). A screencast of the interactive exploration can be viewed at https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0142 or at https://dx.doi.org/10.21942/uva.14424218
