| Summary: | Consecrated in 1297 as the monastery church of the four years earlier founded St. Catherine’s monastery, the Gothic Church of St.
Catherine was largely destroyed in a devastating bombing raid on January 2nd 1945. To counteract the process of disintegration, the
departments of geo-information and lower monument protection authority of the City of Nuremburg decided to getting done a three
dimensional building model of the Church of St. Catherine’s. A heterogeneous set of data was used for preparation of a parametric
architectural model. In effect the modeling of historic buildings can profit from the so called BIM method (Building Information
Modeling), as the necessary structuring of the basic data renders it into very sustainable information. The resulting model is perfectly
suited to deliver a vivid impression of the interior and exterior of this former mendicant orders’ church to present observers. |
