- W202971003 abstract "Abstact Digital modeling is becoming an increasingly effective tool to assist in the visualization of built environments. Extending from more conventional applications in project planning, this technology is proving to be an invaluable asset in the reconstruction of historical sites (Heng et.al. 1997). This paper presents first the results of a research project conducted at the School of Architecture, NUS, to reconstruct the urban landscapes of Tang period (618907) Chang'an in order to gain a better visual perspective of its past and to study the important aspects of its urban form (Heng Chye Kiang 1995, Heng Chye Kiang and Milton Tan 1996). It also introduces a multimedia package that was subsequently developed for the Asian Civilizations Museum based on the research. During its heyday, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang dynasty, was the foremost city in Asia. Its plan was widely copied by other capital cities in East Asia. Chang'an's city walls enclosed a territory of some 84 km2 and contained about a million people, making it then the largest and probably the most prosperous city in the world. Its significance is not confined only to the historical world for the legacy of the strict gridiron layout could still be felt today in many Chinese cities. Destroyed at the end of the Tang dynasty, the grandeur of Chang'an remained primarily in literary descriptions. It was near impossible to capture the magnitude and complexity of the city in drawings and archeological reconstructions. The sheer physical size of the Tang capital and the nature of its terrain preclude seeing the capital all at once. Any premodern endeavor (and there were several) to represent the city graphically stemmed more from the translation of an intellectual understanding of the city than from an actual visual perception of the entire city. These graphic depictions were attempts by scholars and artists alike to record the capital city and to render them more comprehensible to the beholder. While this is probably achieved as far as understanding the urban organization or structure is concerned, they failed to inform us of the cityscape, or worse, misinform us of the cityscape. Even recent graphic attempts to represent the city were unsuccessful in showing the cityscape of the capital. The vast scale of the city precludes any convincing hand-drawn reconstruction unless the illustration covers several square meters of paper." @default.
