Architectural Visualization and Urban Analysis

One of the most difficult aspects of architectural recreation and settlement analysis is the accurate assessment and subsequent representation of the natural and built environment. At the scale of the city the topography and built form have historically been fairly well represented in plan views. However this information is often difficult to translate to three dimensions, a necessary enterprise for modeling in the age of digital production. Information on heights, elevations, and form variations is difficult and labor intensive to obtain through traditional surveying techniques. The latest technologies such as 3D profilers and Total Station with GPS, allow rapid collection and verification of data, enabling more accurate and thorough analyses of architectural form, leading to accurate model creation for building visualization, reconstruction, or preservation.
