Reconstructions

Each of the above links creates a new browser window with the Quicktime plugin. Each must load a QuickTime panorama of the given physical model and may take sevearl seconds to load. The size of the file to be downloaded in indicated on "mouse over". The panoramas initialize with a "plan view" of the model, then as you drag (select and hold) the cursor right or left across the scene the view of the model will rotate around the model.




Several scholars have created a two-dimensional rendering of their conceptualization of a monastary that might have been built from the Plan.
The images below show most of these, with specific references.
