About the Project
This recipient of this Buchanan Library Fellowship worked with Immersion students to help faculty to develop data for Architectura Sinica, a Chinese architectural history dynamic site archive and architectural thesaurus. The fellows worked with A&S faculty and library staff to develop entries on individual sites and add visual material for thesaurus of technical terms for Traditional Chinese Architecture. Fellows in this on-going project are acknowledged as co-authors for digital publication of the entries they complete. Pre- or co-requisite of History of East Asian Art (HART 1200) or Architecture and the Mapping of Empire in Asia (HART 2100), or faculty recommendation is required to participate.
