From Bricks to Graphs
Architectural research and practice are increasingly shaped by the digital turn. Cultural heritage preservation – among other fields – is moving toward digital ecosystems to ensure the visibility and accessibility of unique data collections. This course introduces students to linked data principles: a powerful way to document heritage and share it in lasting, connected, and machine-readable formats.
We’ll dive into methods and standards that help information “speak” across platforms, disciplines, and borders. You’ll learn how established vocabularies and ontologies can model diverse, messy data into structured knowledge – so documented sites and events aren’t just isolated records, but part of a bigger picture.
If you’re curious about technology, passionate about cultural heritage, and motivated to enhance global heritage awareness, this course is for you.
