Abstract

This digital research project and reference tool is the work of five professors and graduate students from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. It provides a chronologically-ordered sequence of digital models representing the Vatican Hill, its plain to the south, and the north-eastern slope of the Janiculum as a topographical site developed from about 30 A.D. to about 1940. We are working with three Dell workstations (each equipped with dual Pentium 400 mhz processors and 512 megabytes of RAM). Solid modelling was utilized with the intent of future development on a Z-Corp 3-D printer which will provide sealed solid models of the topography.
