Discover how a 3D recreation of the 1938 Empire Exhibition in Glasgow can transform our view of history
The international exposition held at Bellahouston Park attracted 13 million people to Glasgow in 1938 during its six-month duration, yet little physical evidence remains. Today, using an archive of visitor photographs, postcards and ephemera, researchers at Glasgow School of Art have meticulously rebuilt the streets and 100+ buildings that made up the Exhibition as an interactive 3D game.
Join Daisy Abbott, academic developer at the School of Innovation and Technology, as they explore how this digital tool can reshape our understanding of this cultural event, its architectural achievements and draw out those hidden and unrepresented stories.
