Virtually Reviving Ukraine’s Bombed Buildings

Russia’s military has targeted libraries and museums across Ukraine that housed irreplaceable books and documents and works of art.  Now, with the help of advanced digital modeling and other technology, Ukrainians are documenting what’s been destroyed — and preserving what can be salvaged for future generations. This episode features Marc Champion, senior reporter for International Affairs at Bloomberg, who gives an up-close view of what’s happening in Ukraine now and where the war is headed.  We also hear from Sergey Revenko, an architect in Kiev who constructs 3D digital models of destroyed cultural sites. And Bloomberg graphics reporters Marie Patino and Rachael Dottle tell us about an immersive interactive story they created that allows you to virtually walk through these buildings and see the war’s terrible toll.
