Abstract

This paper discusses a project to reconstruct in media the lost landscape and culture of Xi-Hu (West Lake), China. This work is intended to educate and entertain the user as well as stimulate his or her own creativity. We discuss the design of a user interface that enables the user to visit different landscapes of Xi-Hu (West Lake), China, as they appeared in different eras. We also discuss the artistry involved in the presentation of the work's content. Finally, we discuss a design methodology for media work based on the lessons learned from the development of this work.
