This site is dedicated to my digital forensic reconstructions of architectural subjects. My first complex example is an academic research project, but my methods and techniques would be applicable to visualization in many other professions, such as engineering, archaeology and law. I'm available for consulting and visualization. Please contact me with your specific needs.
The complex project presented here is an architectural history to fully explain the design of U.S. Capitol prior to its burning in 1814. The Capitol, especially its principal chambers, were architectural masterpieces interwoven with the nation's early history. Thomas Jefferson even suggested that the Hall of Representatives during his administration might be one of the world's most magnificent chambers, yet no topographical record of it exists. With the use of computer imaging programs, I have begun to recreate some of these lost masterpieces and designs from thousands of bits of design and construction information culled from letters and drawings between the principals.
