The subject focuses on the theory and practice of image-making in architectural discourse specifically digital heritage using contemporary media technologies. It is structured into two parts: lectures, readings and discussion in the first half of the day, followed by a workshop format where students apply theory to practice and create historical digital narratives using new software skills in the second half of the semester. Students will develop and present the outcomes of a workshop series within the subject, including digital concept, a 3D model using AI and representations of that model in digital interactive and immersive environment.
