| Abstract | Digital timelines constitute a useful new method with which to approach history from a more complete perspective than previously possible. This round table session will discuss the specific insights resulting from UCLA's Enriched Digital Timeline project, which began in Summer 2021 with a focus on 15 European 'Gothic' great churches. Integrating multiple building histories in a single venue permitted dynamic visual organisation of extensive, detailed, and multimodal data on an unprecedented scale. By complementing and extending the parameters of memory and cognition, this project offers a rich source not only for new insights on architectural practices and processes, as will be discussed here, but also other inquiries into history. Participants include Abigail Berry (University of California, Los Angeles), Alan Carillo (University of Iowa), Tori Schmitt (University of California, Los Angeles), Hannah Thomson (University of California, Los Angeles), Taylor Van Doorne (University of California, Santa Barbara), and Monica Vree (University of Iowa). |
