Throughout the modeling process, we referenced primary sources such as historical photographs, architectural drawings, and documentation provided, ensuring that the reconstruction remains faithful to the authentic design of the Kupa Synagogue. The internet served as a valuable resource for cross-referencing details and validating historical information. This ArchiCAD model is a testament to the meticulous research and dedication invested in reconstructing the Kupa Synagogue. By combining traditional modeling techniques with modern software capabilities, the aim was to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and provide a virtual experience that pays tribute to the historical significance of this architectural gem.
