to coincide with london technology week, 3D scanning specialists scanLAB — run by bartlett graduates matthew shaw and william trossell — return to document the architecture school’s summer show for the fifth year running. using state of the art scanning technology, scanLAB digitize space by capturing a cloud of over a billion precisely measured points, which they then assemble into a virtual model. galleries are individually scanned in full color with millimeter accuracy, and used to create interactive apps that allow users to navigate the exhibitions and view the work, even after the exhibition closes its doors.

the bartlett school of architecture’s annual student showcase remains on display until july 11, 2015 in a new temporary space on hampstead road, london. scanLAB originally surveyed the building two years ago when it was vacant and have followed its journey from being empty to being occupied, including the show spaces themselves. the result is a dramatic three minute film documenting the building’s transformation in the run up to the opening of the show. watch the video in full below.
