History of Architecture: Real Virtual
Project website 
This History of Architecture Web site is designed to support undergraduate education, from introductory art and architectural history surveys to advanced courses on specific art historical periods and themes.
Of the technologies realistically within reach of academic institutions, we focused on interactive panoramas as a method of expanding the options for classroom presentations of architectural subjects. By acquiring interactive panoramas, or nodes, for important buildings ranging from the Parthenon in Athens to Le Corbusier's Church of Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, we attempted to collect and organize new media resources for the teaching of architectural history as we understand it to be practiced in American schools.
This project was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Division of Education Programs, with additional support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Office of the Provost, Columbia University.
