Virtual spaces
individual
buildings
the
'Amiriya in Rada
- the restoration of a 16th century madrasa in the Yemen with
especially nice use of clickable plans linked to images
the
layers of Rome
from classical through Renaissance - this is an advertisement for a
commercially available cd.
Amiens, France,
Notre Dame Cathedral
- this is the public website of a project at Columbia to create virtual
representations of buildings. This is very beautiful and very complex
- it rewards time spent.
Paris, France,
Notre Dame Cathedral
- The Media Center for Art
History
at Columbia tries another building - this time it promises an ongoing
collaborative development with students who will visit in the summer.
The Carthusian monastery
at Parkminster
, England has an amazing site which runs on the metaphor of a manuscript
(thanks to a correspondent for pointing it out to me).
A tour of a
British mosque
created by/for an elementary school in England (they also have a synagogue
and 3 churches).
virtual cities
the
virtual city of Ani
, a ruined city in Turkey. The gateway page is a clickable map.
a link page to maps
of Rome.
virtual tours
a
virtual Hajj
- useful, but not very immersive! Someone could certainly sponsor
a better one of these! The site is hosted at Princeton, but I'm not
at all sure by whom.
Oxford - a variety
of virtual tours of Oxford, England.
the
gateway
page
- the individual tours are handled very differently from one another
and are worth comparing
the
virtual Magdalen Walk
the
Oxford Parks virtual walk
the
Linacre College tour
Web animations
Muffinfilms.com
- something that cheers me up on rainy days.
Hypermodernism.com
- a short animation (video capture, I think) with a surprise ending.
