SI_Lab (ABPL90422) introduces students to the use of advanced spatial information tools that allow architects and designers to better observe and represent buildings, objects, and environments. SI_Lab students learn and demonstrate the capability to image, scan, and model sites, materials, and objects using a variety of digital tools, including LiDAR laser scanning, photography and 3D photogrammetry, geographic information systems and real-time render engines.
In 2022, the subject will further develop its focus on 3D scanning environments, both built and natural, with a focus on deploying digital imaging systems to critically analyse and record spaces of cultural heritage significance. Heritage in the context of the subject can be understood as a built context such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne, as well as natural environments such as endangered and remnant landscapes across Victoria. Students will engage in the process of 3D scanning throughout the first half of the semester, developing skills and information inventories that will be utilised in a design project in the second half of the semester. The SI_Lab design project is an experimental, digital media project that expands and makes use of real-time render engines, simulation and visualisation technologies, and 3D printing fabrication.
