Augmenting critique of lost or unbuilt works of architecture using digitally mediated techniques

Abstract

The paper explores how digital techniques can be applied to lost or unbuilt works of architecture in order to enhance our understanding of a particular architect or building they designed. For example, if current knowledge of a historic design is based on surviving literature or fragmented images, the new arrangement introduced using digitally augmented techniques allows a clearer reading of these original sources. Case study examples are used to demonstrate how this is achieved.
