This 3D model represents a reconstruction attempt of a historic (Constantinople) Greek Orthodox church, the 8th-century Koimesis Church in Nicaea/Iznik (modern Turkiye), which was destroyed in the 20th century. However, its facade is pretty much very inaccurate because I had not suceeded in finding the old photographs-references depicting the facade til my model was already finished. Therefore, I would not consider this project as a proper reconstruction project. The church is characterized by “Cloisonné masonry” (walls built of stones & bricks), cross-in-square floor plan, and pyramidal structure (through a group of 5 domes, with one tallest dome being in the center).

This church model might be ideal for historical visualizations, architectural renders, VR/AR experiences, educational projects, heritage reconstructions, or even simply personal collections.
