Lidar scanning
What is the purpose of this unusual instrument? Modern iPhones are equipped with advanced LiDAR scanning technology, which allows for depth scanning—a highly useful tool for architects. With this feature, I can scan a site and generate a point cloud to significantly accelerate the drawing process. However, this technology is also a medium for art. These scans became part of the Approaches to Regeneration field study, documenting existing buildings in a unique way. Artists such as mv.nyc use similar techniques to create stunning, innovative artworks.
