数字化弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特的沙漠实验室

作者：弗雷德·普罗兹洛（Fred Prozzillo）

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West was always a place of innovation and exploration, where the architect returned every fall to test the limits of architecture, design, and building. To continue this legacy, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation partnered with Leica Geosystems and Multivista to makeTaliesin West一种通用且易于获得的体验，并为这个独特而不断发展的网站提供了新的了解。

使用LeicaBLK360and the Matterport Pro2 3D Camera,多维斯塔进行了一系列3D digital imaging激光扫描赖特的冬季营地，产生高度定义的虚拟现实模型，高度准确，完全详细的3D点云。

Preserving masterworks

塔利辛·韦斯特（Taliesin West）被公认为是赖特（Wright）的杰作之一，是他在美国亚利桑那州沙漠的冬季住宅和工作室。从1938年到1959年，赖特（Wright）和他的学徒不断尝试不同的建筑技术，形式和材料。每个冬季，赖特都会在美国中西部的家中度过夏天。他有一群年轻的学徒来在建筑物上工作，他可以​​自由进行改动并测试自己的理论，将塔利西因·韦斯特（Taliesin West）视为他的建筑实验室。

Wright always referred to Taliesin West as his “winter camp,” where four of the main structures were designed with a canvas roof. It was under the fabric roof of the drafting studio that apprentices assisted the master architect on the design of the Guggenheim Museum. For Wright, the canvas provided cover from the desert sun and produced wonderful filtered light for drafting. With spatial characteristics of an open-air pavilion, the fabric-roofed buildings seemed alive as desert breezes lifted the fabric as if the buildings were inhaling and exhaling. Over time, the buildings lost these important spatial and experiential characteristics to meet program needs, with hard acrylic panels replacing the canvas. The goal of the preservation team was to return the camp characteristics to the buildings.

Tools for visionaries

Taliesin West’s complex data set was captured by Multivista using Leica Geosystems’ BLK360. It proved to be an invaluable tool for the preservation work at Wright’s desert camp. Thedata provides the ability to access and assess elements of the site remotely in a meaningful way and provides a platform for cataloguing patterns of construction methodology and building condition assessments and documentation。

“忠于我们的使命，弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）致力于为子孙后代保存塔利辛（Taliesin）和塔利辛（Taliesin West）。通过与Leica Geosystems和Mulitvista的合作关系，我们能够通过使Taliesin West向世界使用，以便以新的方式实现他的想法，并通过使Wright对未来的愿景来实现未来，以便以新的方式体验他的想法，建筑和设计，”said Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

To embrace the original spirit of Taliesin West and support Wright’s legacy of change, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation used the BLK360 to explore the space on a deep level. The3D尺寸精确的扫描, and the detailed understanding of material, form, and space they provide, will be used as models to dissect and analyse minute details to identify construction methodologies.

使用这些新数据，目前正在进行研究和规划，以测试材料和安装技术，以在起草工作室实现织物屋顶系统，并将诗歌和动作带回建筑物，恢复Taliesin West的露天营地的感觉。

Architectural enthusiasts welcome

BLK360提供的数据在建筑行业中基本上是遥不可及的。它创建一个accurately scaled 3D digital replica- 被称为点云 - 网站，列出视觉和维度项目信息。弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）将使用点云在制定保护计划时分析每个空间。

The highly accurate measurements can be navigated from their desktop, or opened in a CAD design software, like AutoCAD or Revit, where the dimensional data can be used tobuild floorplans, elevations, and 3D models。

“有机会与弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）和莉卡（Leica Geosystems）在这样一个世界著名的网站上的新技术合作真是一场了不起的经历。从第一天开始，这个项目一直是一次边界探索，对塔利辛·韦斯特（Taliesin West）似乎很合适。在测试新软件，硬件和工作流程以创建一个尺寸准确的3D点云时，将用于与关键保存相关的决策，对我们而言，邀请世界体验并受到Frank的工作的启发，同样重要劳埃德·赖特（Lloyd Wright），”said Brian Smith, Multivista’s product manager of emerging technologies.

赖特（Wright）建筑的光彩是内部的空间，而不仅仅是构成信封的零件和材料。弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）利用Leica Geosystems和Multivista的建筑文档服务的技术和Multivista的建筑文档服务，现在能够充分理解，剖析和分析该网站的细节，并更加彻底地朝着维护和解释Taliesin West的目标。
