ARTH 383 - Digital Florence

FDR: HA Fine Arts Distribution
Credits: 4

This course invites students to participate in and contribute to the Digital Humanities project Florence As It Was: The Digital Reconstruction of a Medieval City. We consider how the built environment of Florence influenced–and was in turn influenced by–the culture, society, art, and history of the city. Students learn to translate historical, scholarly analysis into visually accessible formats, and collaborate on the “Florence As It Was” project, contributing to the digital mapping, data visualization, and virtual-reality reconstruction of medieval Florence.
