Modern art scanning
Weber, Thomas and Katharina Ratke
This paper deals with geodetic documentation of objects of modern art and modern design. All following examples are initiated by restorers from the Pinakothek der Modernee in Munich. In the context of exhibitons there are shown different (room) installations from several artists. The example for industrial design is about a habitation concept, called Futuroo, which was conceived by the architect Matti Suuronen in the 19600s. One of the last original futuro houses is standing in Berlin. The task for all objects was a documentation in sense of the restoration. For the installations the main target was to have the opportunity to exactly rebuild the art object at any place and any time. The aim of the working process at the Futuro-Project was to create a documentation of deformations and damages, which are done to the building and interior decoration by the time. Also detailed plans should be generated, because there are no existing blueprints of the dwelling. Furthermore 3d models should be formed of the modern art objects in CAD software. The objects were acquired with modern surveying instruments like laser scanners, prismless measuring total stations and digital cameras. The different observations were combined with each other and then processed with CAD software to threedimensional models. From these models floor plans or any other sectional drawings can be generated as a possible result. From digital pictures orthophotos were derived. Last but not least the results were combined with information which is typical for the different objects of modern art.
