Peter Waldman, "Lessons of the Lawn"

http://cti.itc.Virginia.EDU/~arch200/

            Noteworthy in this class are two interactive exercises:

            1. "Easy Pieces" where plans and sections of several Lawn buildings including the Rotunda, Pav. VII and Pav. II and a student room can be analyzed.  Example: http://maewest.itc.virginia.edu/~wmr5a/DML/waldman/easypieces/pav7/pav7_04b.html

            2. Case studies of six pairs of buildings or plans (one ancient, one modern compared in each case with the Lawn.)  Example: http://maewest.itc.virginia.edu/~wmr5a/DML/waldman/trace/demo1/demo102d.html
