This is the blurb on the back of a book. This is the elevator pitch. This is what you politely explain to the elder/unfamiliar family member who doesn't know what you do for work at that obligatory holiday gathering. This will be displayed publicly. Envisioning Baroque Rome is a digital humanities project that provides an internet-based, 3D walkable reconstruction of the city of Rome ca. 1676, using the gaming platform Unity. The reconstruction is grounded in Giovanni Battista Falda’s (1643-1678) great bird’s-eye view map of that year, and subsumes the fine detail of over three hundred views of the city etched by the artist. The project enables visitors to enter the map, strolling the streets of the Baroque city as virtual pedestrians: gazing up at church facades that once towered over surrounding buildings, climbing the Capitoline Hill to look down on the tree-lined cattle market that once filled the ancient forum, crossing the Tiber River on the Ponte S. Angelo to explore the long lost portions of the Borgo neighborhood, even entering the Pantheon and following light from the oculus as it moves across the floor. Reconstructed from the map and etchings of a single artist, made over a period of just fifteen years, Envisioning Baroque Rome recaptures piazzas, streets, fountains, and architecture lost to the various urban renewal campaigns of the intervening centuries. Project Long Description This is the description of the project that is more involved and in-depth. This is the conversation you have with a colleague. This is the chat you might have at the conference social hour with a peer who holds a similar role elsewhere. Please attach the write-up as a PDF or DOCX. Please use the suffix "-pld".

This project is unique in the sense that it involves scholarly work in translating Falda's line work into 3 dimensional building models. The goal is to recover urban history through an immersive and interactive reconstruction of Falda's exceptionally detailed 1676 plan of Rome. The work involves 3D modelling, translation of the project to the current Unity version, and detail and fact checking of the 3D models against historical record.
