Zusammenfassung:Starting in 2003 the Department of Architecture of the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) has utilized digital reconstructions in several Masters Dissertations. Over the years different topics have been the subject of study, ranging from Burgundian residences to lost religious heritage sites, and addressing a range of methodological difficulties specific to the integration of historic architecture with modern technologies have emerged. As Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) has found its way to a broader audience over the last few years, attention must be paid to the methods and means by which these reconstructions are presented to a wider audience. New technologies inevitably change the perspective of the viewer, shifting from a distant observer to a close inspector (sometimes providing visual access and virtual proximity to reconstructed elements that were never even supposed to be seen up close). New means of communication and visualization need to be realized that fully address the possibilities and limitations of the reconstructions.
