● Text Analysis and Data Mining - semantic analysis and statistical approaches: close and distant reading● Time-based Media Presentations - videos, animations and other presentation media tools - documentaries etc. ● Web Exhibits and Online Exhibitions - 3D models, maps, HTML5/CSS, blogs, databases, content-management

system displays● Digital Mapping - individually authored oriented crowd-sourced - visual, bitmapped or geometric; can include 3D

models as well as planar views, as well as timelines● Data Visualization - exploring patterns, themes, and emergent information through aggregation and

pattern-recognition● Interactive Installations - QR Codes, sensor technologies, mixed media presentations with physical and digital

components● Virtual Worlds - simulation environments detached from “real” geography though with some indexical relationship

to it implied at least● Agent Based and Hypothetical Modeling - Often a 3D or 4D hypothetical representation of objects and spaces.● Virtual Reality systems - immersive environments; lower res but higher affect● Video Games - first person POV; individual or combined perspectives and allow for narrative flows and agency● Augmented Reality - combines map-based substrate with implicit 3D models IRL; user-centric approach similar to a

VR cave but with claims (perhaps) to indexicality or with a deeper engagement, enrichment, storytelling etc. via selective sensorial emphases; game/ARG potentialities - marker, geo, experiential

● Alternate Reality Games - activities enacted upon the cityscape as alternate universe, though bleeds into our own; variety of media delivery mechanisms

Digital Approaches to Research and Presentation

Architecture and digital art history ● Change over time● Uncertainty● Juxtaposition● Alternative futures / Counterfactuals● Public dissemination of scholarship● Visual analysis / Close reading of buildings and architectural features● Digital Preservation● Macro analysis● Experience design in urban and built environments
