The Use of 3D Laser Scanning in Architecture
Architect James Davidson and his team have used 3D scanning technology to capture every detail of Lamb House, an historic mansion undergoing reconstruction. The accuracy and level of detail provided by the 3D scanner are remarkable, especially compared to the traditional hand-drawn methods used in the past. The technology offers advantages in climate-resilient design and restoration, allowing for accurate documentation and precise measurements. With the potential for costs to decrease and accessibility to increase in the future, 3D scanning is becoming an essential tool in architectural projects.
