Architecture and the Digital Humanities
Contributing editor for architecture and urbanism for the collaborative web-based project, “Hypercities.” Hypercities, originated by Professor Todd Presner at UCLA, is a collaborative authoring environment for analyzing cities as geographical, cultural, and architectural artifacts. The intuitive interface allows users to contribute scholarly content as well as digital assets (text, images, audio, video, and multimedia files) using temporal and geographical coordinates. In a Google Maps interface augmented by software developed by the UCLA Center for Digital Humanities, Hypercities features the cities Berlin , Los Angeles , and New York , and is continuing to develop and add new cities. Hypercities is setting out to provide collaborative answers to a set of particularly compelling questions facing scholars today, namely: What forms of innovative scholarship and teaching will develop with the aid of digital tools in the twenty-first century? How will academic work be created, disseminated, and preserved in our age of new media? And, finally, what kind of challenges will face the scholarly community and what new venues for publication will be opened up? Visit |
