Somerville High School - Photogrammetry Front Facade
Photogrammetry achieves 3D-modelling of structures by employing a principle known as “stereo-imaging”. This is where two-images placed side-by-side can be viewed simultaneously, thereby creating a 3-dimensional aspect. When this theory is applied on a grand-scale by aligning multiple images through algorithm based computer processing, the resulting 3D-Model can be rotated, explored, enquired and annotated.

I used photogrammetry as a means to help model, plan and transform existing structures and monuments. As a part of this quarter-billion dollar project Somerville High school’s original 1895 wing and its 1914 addition exteriors would remain while the interior is redone. The plan would also preserve the existing war memorials and field house sections of the building while constructing numerous additions, including the open space next to the city’s Central Public Library.
