Learn how to make an interactive 3D model of a compartment, building or urban scene with your own photo camera. A hands-on workshop, with experts from Portugal and Finland.
We invite everyone to learn how to take photos and turn them into an interactive 3D model.
Requirements are the participation fee (75 € for regular inscription and 50 € for students and ICOMOS members), your own laptop with wi-fi connection and a photo camera. Participants should know how to use a computer and take photos!
This workshop is part of the international research on “Architectural Democracy” based at Aalto University. Our team believes we can use the buildings and rooms where we spend most of our lives, as sources of open source information to edit and share among citizens for community well-being. Not only is this a tool to create time machines to understand the history of our cities but to understand its economics, technicalities and social relationships, for a fairer society based on transparency.
The course is held in Portuguese but English is also available.
