Architectural history: 

Bruno Zevi, Sigfried Giedion, and the Chicago School (free preprint here)

Spatial discovery for books: 

Geospatial discovery for books or any kind of textual data.

Would you like to go to the library and do a library search about, say, “Paris”, and be able to specify “show me only books or articles in which authors have written about buildings or institutions that are located at most 1 mile away from the Eiffel Tower.” We have developed a first tool to empower libraries to let you do just that.

We represent each book as a colored line on the map, based on the content that each book is about. Library patrons can now come to the library and narrow their searches based on what the books are about in geographical space.

If you are a librarian and would like to implement our tool at your library, contact us!
