The laser scanning method is quite well established in architecture. This is due to the fact that architecture is a rewarding area to present this technology at its loveliest. Architectural surveys require a high level of detail and precision in representation of the surfaces of objects, which is certainly provided by laser scanning. Engineers or builders are aware of this fact and in the same way our aim is to tighten cooperation in providing spatial information to architects and designers.

 

Point cloud visualization of an old tenement building (Olejna St., Lublin)

 

Scanning applications in architecture:

• Architectural plans and designs, building facades, cross sections
• 3D building modeling
• Surveys of cultural heritage buildings
• Civil engineering
• Documentation of construction progress Deformation analysis of structures (Read more)
• Review of a planned construction project (e.g. to be carried out in a property) – investigation of utility conflicts between existing and planned infrastructure
• Virtual excursions and flights to various sites
• Survey of buildings, their interior and details
• Survey of palace and park complexes
