Dr. Roy Albag, Architect

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology, Tel Aviv University.
I am an architect working at the meeting point of architecture, archaeology and digital technology, on the 3D reconstruction of ancient buildings, 4D research, and stratigraphic modeling of archaeological sites, from the Chalcolithic to the Ottoman period.
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Osnabrück in 2026, in cooperation with Tel Aviv University, with a dissertation titled "A Holistic Approach to 3D Analysis and 4D Virtual Reconstruction Model in Archaeology: The Temple Precinct in Tel Moza as a Case Study."
I ask how ancient buildings were designed and built, what methods and tools their builders used, and how they are likely to have looked when complete. Since 2010 I have worked with universities, museums, national parks and excavation teams in Israel, Germany and the United States, turning that research into publications, exhibitions and immersive experiences that let visitors stand inside buildings that no longer exist.
