NY Times Arts Dwell ARTstor Blog
Fordam University’s Medieval New York webpage integrates the architectural histories of New York City with that of the Middle Ages. Detailed building descriptions for a number of New York City’s religious, civic, and residential structures, as well as landscapes, locate this heterogeneous architectural culture within the history of medieval European, Byzantine and Islamic art, architecture, technology and religion.
Over 3,000 new images of architecture, applied design, and American popular culture are available in ARTstor. Collections shared by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Slide Library and Bryn Mawr College include images of site plans for ancient and medieval architectural and archeological sites along with images of American pop culture and design. Photographs of American architecture taken by Dov Friedman have also been added.
Sites and Photos, an archaeology image bank, is contributing 90,000 images to the ARTstor digital library in order to expand its coverage of the ancient world. Extant Megalithic, Greco-Roman, Islamic, and Medieval architecture and decorative arts are included.
Sites and Photos, a great resource in and of itself, includes an Architectural Archive organized both by building type and function. The archive acts as a visual dictionary for ancient architectural motifs, structures and construction methods.
