From 3D Scan to BIM: Schienhutgasse Stair
VR, 3d Cloud Scanning, PointCloud
Zurich, Switzerland 2024

This project explored a digitally driven workflow to document and interpret the architectural complexity of a public stairway in central Zurich. Using a series of overlapping photographs, a high-resolution point cloud was generated and merged into a detailed spatial dataset. From this, a simplified architectural model was developed through sectional analysis. The irregular geometry of the site, which posed challenges to traditional measurement, was effectively captured through this method. The final outcome—presented in virtual reality—enabled full-scale navigation of both the scanned and modelled forms.
