"Learning by Making: Mapping, Modeling and Digital Art History," with Caroline Bruzelius
October 13, 2016
Caroline Bruzelius works on architecture, sculpture and urbanism in the Middle Ages. She has published on French and Italian Gothic architecture. She recently published a book on the architecture and urban impact of the mendicant orders (Yale University Press, 2014) and has published widely on the architecture of medieval nuns and architectural enclosure, an area in which she did pioneering work.
Bruzelius has been awarded numerous grants and prizes, including grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Max-Planck Institute and the Fulbright Association. Bruzelius is co-director of a database on images of the monuments in medieval Kingdom of Naples, and she is working on two new studies: a book called “The Cathedral and the City” and a general study of architecture in the Medieval Kingdom of Sicily.
She is a pioneer in teaching through 3-D modeling, using visualizing techniques applied to art, architecture and city planning.
