Digitalising Frank Lloyd Wright's desert laboratory

Author:Fred Prozzillo

弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright）的塔利辛·韦斯特（Taliesin West）始终是创新和探索的地方，建筑师每年秋天返回以测试建筑，设计和建筑的极限。为了继续这一遗产，弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）与Leica Geosystems和Multivista合作制作塔利斯·韦斯特（Taliesin 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。

Using the LeicaBLK360和Matterport Pro2 3D相机，Multivistaconducted a series of3D数字成像激光扫描赖特的冬季营地，产生highly-accurate, fully-detailed, 3D point cloud of the property, along with a high-definition virtual reality model.

保存杰作

它被认为是莱特的杰作之一,Taliesin West was his winter home and studio in the desert of Arizona, United States. From 1938 to 1959, this is where Wright and his apprentices constantly experimented with different building techniques, forms, and materials. Each winter Wright would view his camp with a fresh eye, having spent his summers at his home in the Midwest United States. With a cadre of young apprentices to work on the buildings, he was free to make alterations and test his theories, treating Taliesin West as his architectural laboratory.

赖特（Wright）总是将塔利辛（Taliesin West）称为他的“冬季营”，其中四个主要结构是用帆布屋顶设计的。在制图工作室的织物屋顶下，学徒协助了古根海姆博物馆的设计。对于赖特（Wright），画布提供了沙漠阳光的盖子，并制作了出色的过滤灯来制图。凭借露天亭的空间特征，织物屋顶的建筑物似乎还活着，因为沙漠微风抬起了织物，好像建筑物在吸入和呼气一样。随着时间的流逝，这些建筑物失去了这些重要的空间和体验特征来满足程序需求，硬丙烯酸板代替了画布。保护团队的目标是将营地特征归还到建筑物。

有远见的工具

Taliesin West的复杂数据集由Multivista使用Leica Geosystems的BLK360捕获。事实证明，这是赖特沙漠营地保护工作的宝贵工具。这数据提供了以有意义的方式远程访问和评估网站元素的能力，并为施工方法和建筑条件评估和文档的分类模式提供了平台。

“True to our mission, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is dedicated to preserving Taliesin and Taliesin West for future generations. Through our partnership with Leica Geosystems and Mulitvista, we’re able to carry out our mission, and Wright’s vision into the future, by making Taliesin West available to the world so it can experience his ideas, architecture and design in new ways,”弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）总裁兼首席执行官斯图尔特·格拉夫（Stuart Graff）说。

为了拥抱塔利辛·韦斯特（Taliesin West）的原始精神并支持赖特（Wright）的变革遗产，弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会（Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation）使用了BLK360来深入探索该空间。这3D dimensionally-precise scans，以及对它们提供的材料，形式和空间的详细理解将被用作模型，以剖析和分析较小的细节以识别施工方法。

Using this new data, research and planning are currently underway to test materials and installation techniques to implement a fabric roof system in the drafting studio and bring the poetry and movement back to the buildings, restoring the open-air camp-like feel of Taliesin West.

建筑爱好者欢迎

这BLK360 provides data that was largely out of reach in the architectural industry. It creates an准确缩放3D数字复制品— known as a point cloud— of the site, putting visual and dimensional project information. The point cloud will be used by the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation to analyse each space as they develop preservation plans.

高度准确的测量可以从其桌面导航，也可以在CAD设计软件（例如AutoCAD或Revit）中开放，其中尺寸数据可用于建造平面图，高程和3D型号。

“Having the opportunity to work with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Leica Geosystems’ new technologies on such a world-renowned site has been an amazing experience. This project has been a boundary-pushing exploration from day one, which seems so fitting for Taliesin West. While testing new software, hardware and workflows in order to create a dimensionally-accurate 3D point cloud that will be used for critical preservation-related decisions, it was equally important for us to invite the world to experience and be inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright,”Multivista的新兴技术产品经理Brian Smith说。

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。
