Week 5/Week 6- Lidar scanning and data collection

February 2024

During the fifth and sixth weeks, we decided to scan two areas.

The first is the West Court and Sculpture Court in the ECA Main Building, as well as the corridors connecting these two places. They are not only places where many activities take place on campus, but also places with a lot of foot traffic, and there are many interesting things and data in these two places.

The second is Vennel Steps, which is not only a passage connecting Lauriston Place and West Port, but also a good location to view Edinburgh Castle. In this passage, it not only carries the memory of this city, but also exists as a bridge linking places, and is also a part of the Hyperobject of the entire Edinburgh.
