- Members of the group: Zhihan Yang, Yixin Song, and Songyan Zhao.
- We want to map the famous Song dynasty poet Su Shi’s life and post an interactive post to introduce Su Shi in a new DH way.
- The proposed methodology:
- We will collect poems, records, and specific location’s architecture data online. We will also use Google Earth and other Map tools to relocate Su Shi’s life journey. Additionally, we would use SketchUp or other 3-D modeling tools to rebuild some Song dynasty architecture.
- The proposed timeline of deliverables: We will finish data collecting before the Wednesday of the 8th week and try to finish the model before the start of the 9th week.
- And finally, a link to one or more DH projects that you think might make a good model for what you plan to do: http://gis.rchss.sinica.edu.tw/bsgis/

I’m very excited about the possibility that you might create your own “Virtual Angkor,” but I’m wondering how you plan on incorporating the required usage of the Carleton Archives and the representation of one of the more modern Campus Buildings?
Team Chinese Architecture,
Modeling the Forbidden City is a large goal and sounds like a worthy endeavor. What would be the humanistic insight or research finding that would come out of such a project? There are a number of 3D models that currently exist in the wild of the site. What can you do with them? What questions can you ask of them? What questions might you be able to answer through the process of modeling or a secondary application of an existing model?
Modeling can be a valid DH enterprise, but you need to spell out in more detail what exactly you hope to achieve through the process. Virtual Angkor is a good example of such secondary uses, and there are many more examples listed on the Virtual Humanities pages here. Some things to consider would include how the space was used at different points in its history or how sound and/or light travel within the reconstructed 3D space. Some interesting work along these lines has been done at the University of Minnesota on Greek spaces of rhetoric.
