summary
The ABACUS Group has been active for some years in the use of computer
graphics and multimedia to represent past, present and future
buildings in both urban and rural settings. The three cities discussed
during the presentation are Split, in former Yugoslavia - a graphical
account of the development of Split from its origin in the Diocletian
Palace of the Venetian Empire up to the present day; Edinburgh - a
multimedia interface to a large-scale three dimensional computer model
of Edinburgh Old Town; and Glasgow - Virtual City developments in the
run up to the City of Architecture and Design celebrations in
1999. The presentation concludes with a report on the IMAGEA project -
an international initiative to construct an Interactive Multimedia
Archive of Great European Architecture.
