The Time Team document the restoration of Dover Castle, a project which aimed to make over the main rooms of the castle in order to recreate them as they would have appeared during the time of Henry II. Tony Robinson and the team track the whole process, meet the key players involved, and see the final result. Leading architects and historic building consultants Purcell Miller Tritton have been appointed as the Project Managers on the exciting scheme to create an infotainment experience for English Heritage at Dover Castle. Time Team have chronicled the work on the development of the Great Tower at Dover Castle, which also involves set designers from the Royal Shakespeare company and the creation of 3D holographic “ghost” images. The Castle is owned by English Heritage, who have earmarked over £2m for the ambitious project. Andy Clark, Senior Principal at Purcell Miller Tritton, who is responsible for the project said, “This is an unusual role for us. Dover Castle has great historical significance, being built by Henry the Second during the 1180’s, and it is our task to re-create that era in the Great Tower and bring the whole building to life for visitors. It will be like stepping back into the 12th century, complete with lighting and sound effects”. The work includes ensuring that the Fabric of Dover Castle is maintained and that the work in creating lighting effects and room artefacts complements the heritage of the building. He went on to add, “This Castle is one of the greatest examples of medieval architecture still in existence and we must ensure that the core integrity and charm of the Great Tower is preserved whilst making its important role to Henry II and his military infrastructure accessible to the thousands of visitors that are expected once it is finished.” by warpo, Wednesday, 09 December 2009 07:58, Comments(0) Comments MKPNews ©2003-2008 mkportal.it     Series Pages  The 1994 Series.  The 1995 Series.  The 1996 Series.  The 1997 Series.  The 1998 Series.  The 1999 Series.  The 2000 Series.  The 2001 Series.  The 2002 Series.  The 2003 Series.  The 2004 Series.  The 2005 Series.  The 2006 Series.  The 2007 Series.  The 2008 Series.  The 2009 Series.  The 2010 Series.  Time Team Specials.  The Live Broadcasts.  Time Signs.  The Pilot.  Time Team Extra.  Time Team Digs.  History Hunters.   Time Team America  Series One - 2009   The information and content here is provided as-is for educational purposes.
