I am constructing digital models of a number of Mixtec temples from paintings in the Codex Fejéváry-Mayer. Preliminary results of my effort along with the reference images are at http://gregsandor.tripod.com/MxArch.htm
I based the models on the drawings with my best guess as to the configuration of elements stylized in the paintings. Since bringing them to this level of completion I have seen photos of Monte Alban and Mitla that show more massive structures than I have modeled. I am continuing to rebuild the models as I learn more about the architectural forms.
Can you identify any of these structures? What elements have I gotten right? What elements should be altered?
Where can I find archaeological information on any of these? Are there site drawings available for any actual ones?
Regards,
Greg
