The article deals with expanding the application of contemporary engineering, compu-
ting and communication technologies, as well as media art, in the field of preserving the
cultural heritage of humanity. We demonstrate the increasing role design research plays
in studying historic engineering sites. Using a specific site, the lighthouse of the Morro
Castle (Faro del Castillo del Morro), which is a historic monument and a symbol of Old
Havana, we describe how its 3D prototypes were created. We took a great number of
factors, criteria and characteristics into account when designing the lighthouse proto-
type, including those that use contemporary communication technology and media art as
the artistic field.
Keywords: historical information science, communication technology, digital three-
dimensional modelling, media art, cultural heritage
