This material is presented as part of the PhD submission Haptic Insights: Embodied Understanding in Digital Reconstruction. This site presents an archive of the Practice as Research elements of the projects. It should be noted that it is this process of reconstructive exploration which delivers the core methodology of this work and as such it is the modelling process that should be regarded as the Practice as Research (PaR) element and not the artefacts that comprise the archive of practice.

The completed (and in most cases, developmental) models are available in their native 3DS format. For reference, each case study has been documented and presented as an archive including source material, a description of the approach taken and a selection of static and dynamic (moving, panoramic or object inspection) images of the final model outputs. The deployment of immersive VR has been avoided for reasons that are made clear in the text. Readers wishing to undertake a ‘spatial’ exploration of the models may access to the 3DS files (in the 'outputs' section), but the use of 3DS Max does require some specific expertise. As an alternative, all models have been made more accessible by a series of developmental thumbnails indicating the content of each model. There will be an additional opportunity for examiners to make a guided engagement with these files by arrangement.

A range of materials are available but they fall broadly into the following categories:

	Images - These are static images that might present either original source material or a static rendered view of a reconstructed model.
	Videos - These are movies which may present either existing reconstructive practice (for the purpose of context) or a moving, authored view of a reconstructed model.
	Texts - Text here are presented in pdf format and will open in a new window. They may present either original source material, existing reconstructive practice or cultural context.
	Interactive - As noted above, those wishing to engage in spatial exploration of the models should endeavour to access the orginal files in 3DS Max. For reference though, each model is also presented here as a 'dynamic' image (either a panoramic view or 'lightbox' object view. In addition there are also interactive presentations that support the text of the man discussion.
	Plans - Where original (or conjectural) plans have been used in the preparation of reconstructed models, these have been presented as images.
	Maps - Where original maps have been used in the preparation of reconstructed models, these have been presented as images.
	Models - These represents modelled outcomes and may either present photographic representations of existing reconstructive practice or archives of 3ds Max files relating to individual projects.
