54th Annual Meeting
Society of Architectural Historians
Toronto, April 18-22, 2001
DIGITAL TEACHING
"Ceci tuera cela," warns Victor Hugo in Notre-Dame de Paris (1482),
fearing the technology of the printed book threatens the technology
of the cathedral as the mechanism for the formation of collective
consciousness. The buildings we project in the classroom are absent,
fragmented objects of our desire. Rarely do we have the opportunity
to examine the objects themselves with our students. Drawings,
prints, photographs, transparencies, and films have been among the
media of choice for presenting architecture, most often in a "this
and that" sequence of paired images. Does digital technology subvert
the old order and provide us with the means to present new
methodologies and narratives both in and out of the classroom, or
does it most often mimic the accepted paradigms? This session will
examine digital imaging and networked strategies for teaching history
of architecture to undergraduate audiences, particularly in core
survey courses. Papers may address representations, philosophies and
assumptions, techniques, and methods both old and new.
Please send two copies of a one-page proposal and C.V. by Friday,
September 1, 2000, to: Prof. Stephen Murray and Mr. Maurice S. Luker
