ARTHIST 190S-01: The Medieval Castle in Britain
Woodworth, 3 credits, TuTh 1:25-2:40pm, The Wired! Lab (Smith, Bay 11, A233)
This class investigates the evolution of the British castle from the Norman Conquest through the end of the Tudor dynasty (i.e., 1066-1603). It begins with the mighty eleventh-century ruins scattered along the coast of Wales — the greatest surviving fortifications in the world, and the inspiration for those seen in Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. The course then surveys the development of British military architecture over the next five and half centuries. Dramatic changes in ground plan and topography were matched by sweeping changes in style, architectural fashion, materials, and the machinery of war. Students will use 3D modeling to map the location of castles in the British landscape, as well as make digital reconstructions (both external and internal) of how a vanished or ruinous castle would have appeared in its heyday. Formalist and technological concerns will be approached holistically and symbiotically: How did the appearance of the “ideal” castle change over time, and how did it adapt to new regimes, weapons, and economic forces? We will also investigate the historical accuracy of popular “siege engine” computer games such as Stronghold, Age of Empires, and Medieval: Total War.
HCVIS 581S-01: Historical & Cultural Visualization Proseminar 2 on Models
Olson, Wharton, 3 credits, Tu 1:25-3:55pm, The WIRED! Lab (Smith, Bay 11, A233)
Matt Ratto (2011) describes critical making as “a desire to theoretically and pragmatically connect two modes of engagement with the world that are often held separate—critical thinking, typically understood as conceptual and linguistically based, and physical ‘making,’ goal-based material work” (253). Models offer a site in which making and conceptualization are inextricably interwoven. Like models themselves, this seminar brings theory and practice together. We shall develop skills both in making models and in thinking about and through models.
Student projects will both model and analyze, theoretically and historically, a site or object of their choice. Digital 3d models will be constructed and then be presented in the form of a 20-minute conference paper and then refined and elaborated as a final paper.
VMS 89S: Mapping and Modeling Early Modern Venice
Lanzoni, 3 credits, Tu 10:20am-12:50pm, The WIRED! Lab (Smith, Bay 11, A233)
Beginning with Napoleon’s forced entry into the city in 1797 and the fall of a more than 1000 year old Republic, the urban landscape of Venice experienced notable change. Significant intervention included the destruction of many Renaissance monuments and, therefore, great loss to the architectural and artistic patrimony of the city. The goal of this Wired! course is to map the urban landscape of early modern Venice by re-constructing lost architectural gems of the fifteenth and sixteenth century along with their immediate surroundings. To accomplish this, students will work in groups to use digital tools, such as Google Sketch up, to translate historical and modern maps, prints, engravings and paintings into 3-D models. In addition to the exterior reconstruction of the buildings, students will use inventories and various imagery to recreate interior spaces. These monuments will be mapped onto present-day Venice. The course assumes no prior art historical or digital experience; students will be provided with the background necessary to understand the art and architectural history of early modern Venice, and the skills required for the digital technology. The outcome of the course will be an unprecedented reconfiguration of aspects of Venice as it appeared in the Renaissance and visual models that may be shared with a larger academic community. This course is a First Year Seminar and is open to first years only.

Using Classification Theory to Read Information Systems
Feinberg, 3 credits, W 12:20-3:05pm, Manning 214
This seminar will focus on using the conceptual apparatus of classification theory to interpret and “read” information collections that have been arranged and structured by classification systems. Our investigations will not be limited to reading “the library” but will extend to any sort of information system organized by any mechanism for category formation, from social media (for example, Twitter hashtags) to scientific data sets (such as the Encyclopedia of Life), to everyday retrieval devices (like Amazon’s faceted browsing categories). Through our semester’s readings, discussions, and activities, and through your own seminar projects, we will explore how classification theory, as articulated in knowledge organization and related domains, might help us to understand how information systems work as documents to be read: how their structure generates meaning, and how they function as forms of human expression.
