My Lahore Fort digital preservation project is continuing to evolve and spark new results. I am refining my techniques and cementing the method that will serve as the foundation of this project.

From the Fort to the “DIP” Project: What is it All About?
The Lahore Fort was the beginning of it all. The place where I discovered a piece of my country’s history hidden under decades of neglect. The beauty of the architecture described in imperial narratives as being not as “valuable” as the Mughal forts preserved in territories further East. The actual experience of walking through the…

The FACSS stands for The Federations of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies, and the SciX Conference represents the Great Scientific Exchange, a conference that has been running since 1974. This year marks the 50th year of this international conference at the…

Scanning @ the Campbell House
Our work has begun! With the tiniest team possible, we picked up our scanning equipment (iPads, smartphones and measuring tools) and jumped headlong into the Digital Interactive Preservation process. Getting animators to work with architects is incredibly fun, particularly when you realize how similar the fields really are. Despite the difference in mediums, it’s clear…

Here, we learned that the students struggled with the speed of the navigation tools and wished they had the option to fly. From…

Frank J Romano Endowed Prize
Exciting news continues! I won the Frank J Romano Endowed Prize for innovative use of technology working with students. The Digital Preservation Process has evolved into the Digital Interactive Preservation method, or DIP method. Two reasons for this: one, because the RIT CHIP Research group, led by Dr Juilee Decker and Dr David Messinger has…

Processing the SHED @ RIT
The special topics course was a success! Not only did my four students get highly involved in refining the process, but we were able to successfully export a few different samples of the game, ready to play and with a secondary level to show a few additional details preserved during our research. From our tests,…

The Shed Game @ the Genesee Country Village and Museum: A Quick Summary
This is the shortest possible update of the pilot DIP process. A module of the super-epic Lahore Fort Project is the method I have suggested to use game creation workflows to digitally preserve buildings and sites. In October of 2022, I, and a team of animation students were given the opportunity to put this theory…
