 With a twofold aim of building upon existing and burgeoning Canadian digital media and technology and being situated alongside Canada's social and cultural commitment, CIMS research projects privilege content and user-driven research that is enabled by technology.In the program Digital Architecture Reconstruction Program 1.0 (DARP), CIMS re-visited the site of the Convent of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart site in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, a building demolished in 1972, in order to resurrect a story with intertwining points of view of historical preservation, community activism and the role of digital documentation.The interior of the Rideau Street Chapel was digitally reconstructed by CIMS using various diverse technologies such as laser scanning, photogrammetry and 3D modeling.
