Digital + Spatial Art History
American Excavations Samothrace
Description: The goal of this project is to deepen our understanding of the terrain and the built environment of The Sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace. In creating an interactive digital model of the site, this project will demonstrate to a broad audience how the nexus of architecture, environment, and human action shaped ancient Greek sacred experience.
Atlanta Housing Interplay
Description: Atlanta Housing Interplay seeks to plot Atlanta on the interwar architectural map, establishing the city's role as a clearinghouse for European social housing ideas in the U.S., and as the earliest home-grown precedent for New Deal public housing. The project charts the European architectural influences on the first federally-funded public housing, Techwood Homes and University Homes, and determines what elements employed in the construction of Techwood and University came to influence other sites in North America.

Envisioning Baroque Rome
Description: Envisioning Baroque Rome is a digital humanities project that provides an internet-based, 3D walkable reconstruction of the city of Rome ca. 1676, using the gaming platform Unity. The reconstruction is grounded in Giovanni Battista Falda's bird's-eye view map of that year and subsumes the fine detail of over three hundred views of the city etched by the artist. The project enables visitors to enter the map, strolling the streets of the Baroque city as virtual pedestrians.
Mapping Senufo: Art, Evidence, and the Production of Knowledge
Description:Mapping Senufo: Art, Evidence, and the Production of Knowledge is an ongoing collaborative digital initiative that focuses on arts commonly labeled as Senufo and located to an area spanning the present-day borders of Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Mali in West Africa. While the project centers on a single corpus of art and knowledge about it, the project also addresses a more fundamental concern, namely how people evaluate evidence and present findings. We seek to assess the nature of evidence for making certain claims and to invite readers to think about how any of us knows what we know. We also aim to engage broad audiences.
Views of Rome
Description: Views of Rome is the online home of the 1773 edition of Pirro Ligorio's Anteiquae Urbis Imago. Originally published in 1561, the Imago is a reconstruction of fourth-century AD Rome. The project allows students to contribute to the map by choosing a monument, developing a bibliography, and composing a descriptive article.
