[Air-L] New on ICT Guides

[Craig Bellamy]

Dear All,

ICT Guides is a service offered by the Arts and Humanities Data Service 
(AHDS) at King's College, London. It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in 
research and learning through cataloging good-practice digital arts and 
humanities projects along with the tools and methods they employed.

A number of new projects have been added to ICT Guides:

Highlight:

3D Reconstruction of the Unbuilt Project Pont destiné à réunir la France 
à l'Italie (1829) by Henri Labrouste

" Henri Labrouste (1801-75) is best known as the architect of two 
important public buildings in Paris, both libraries. The Bibliothèque 
Sainte-Geneviève, completed in 1851, demonstrated Labrouste's 
unconventional use of classical elements, much disputed at the time, and 
his structural innovation of introducing an exposed iron frame. The 
Bibliothèque Nationale, completed in the year of his death, is renowned 
for its eclectic reading room reminiscent of a Seljuk mosque: a light, 
top-lit round space with slender cast-iron columns, which support a 
multitude of small domes. Both these buildings are representative of the 
so-called Beaux-Arts style that flourished at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts 
in Paris of which Labrouste was a student. ". " See:
