What We Do ?
Revitalization Projects
We have found that reanimation projects significantly enhance our understanding of history. As we continue experimenting and exploring, these initiatives add new layers to our work. For example, while it's well-known that sailing has been practised for thousands of years, it raises the question: how were these vital voyages made without the modern technologies and resources we now take for granted? In our pursuit of answers, we uncover insights into ancient boat-building techniques and gain a richer understanding of navigation methods, daily life, and the socio-cultural dynamics of the time. Each project reveals valuable details illuminating historical maritime practices' complexities and deepening our appreciation for human ingenuity in overcoming challenges. We have successfully completed seven reanimation projects, each fostering a more vivid and tangible connection to the past. These efforts act as a bridge between contemporary knowledge and the lived experiences of ancient civilizations, offering a captivating glimpse into how they navigated their world.
Museum projects
We have a history filled with countless untold stories and invaluable relics that shape our collective identity. Yet, we must ask ourselves: Are we doing enough to preserve this precious heritage? We strongly believe that by safeguarding and exploring our past, we can better understand the present and create a more informed future. To that end, we have zeroed in on two significant locations, concentrating on the art of display and the intricate process of crafting replicas. Through these projects, we have refined our ability to present history in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences. Currently, our attention is directed towards designing these spaces from the visitor's perspective, ensuring a more engaging and immersive experience. To accomplish this, we actively participate in international training programs focused on "interpretation," equipping ourselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to bring history to life in innovative and meaningful ways. These endeavours are paving the way for our upcoming museum project, where we aim to establish new standards in the preservation and presentation of our shared heritage.
Archaeological Park Projects
It is evident that without a healthy environment, all efforts towards conservation and reanimation ultimately become ineffective and unsustainable. Issues like overindustrialization, unsustainable fishing practices, and haphazard urban development have prompted us to create archaeo-parks on the seabed. By utilizing man-made artificial reefs, we aim to restore the fundamental behaviors of marine life, including sheltering, feeding, and reproduction, to their natural states. We may sink a C-47 aeroplane, or we might deploy a replica of an ancient ship. Regardless of the chosen method, our ultimate goal remains to rehabilitate the degraded seabed effectively.
