St Patrick’s Church in Bridgeport, CT
In collaboration with the architectural firm Partners for Architecture, MYND Workshop undertook an ambitious project to digitally encapsulate the grandeur of St. Patrick's Church, located in the heart of Bridgeport. This project was not merely a task of documentation but a bridge to the future, employing advanced scanning technologies to convert the intricate interior of this heritage site into a highly detailed 3D Revit model.
Our approach was twofold: first, to meticulously capture the existing conditions of the church's interior, preserving its architectural essence and historical significance. Using state-of-the-art scanning technology, we ensured every element, from the ornate stained glass windows to the majestic arches, was documented with precision. This initial phase laid the foundation for the subsequent transformation into a digital format.
The second phase revolved around the meticulous process of converting the scanned data into a detailed Revit model. This step was crucial, not just for the sake of digital preservation, but also to facilitate future renovations, restorations, and enhancements with an unparalleled level of detail and accuracy. Our goal was to create a heritage scan to BIM model that not only serves as a digital twin of the existing structure but also as a versatile tool for architects, historians, and conservators.
This project exemplified the fusion of technology and heritage, showcasing how modern scanning and modeling techniques can be harnessed to preserve and celebrate our architectural legacy. Through this endeavor, MYND Workshop has not only contributed to the safeguarding of a cherished landmark but also demonstrated the potential of scan to BIM processes in the realm of historic preservation.
