Gothic Architecture
Description: The Gothic Architecture Web site was developed
for Professor Stephen Murray's survey course. Architecture,
by virtue of its physical complexity, is difficult to teach
in the classroom using the standard dual-slide projection method.
Our goal is to provide a far richer collection of images online
than are shown in class due to time restrictions. Using this
site, students can view a large number of images for individual
buildings, including ground plans, diagrams, exterior views
and interior views, to gain a greater understanding of the building
based on the principles and themes discussed in class. The site
also includes a number of special programs using QTVR and Flash
animation. This site is part of our larger initiative to build
a wide array of digital resources for the history of architecture
with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
