Scots to scan Sydney Opera House

The Scottish Ten Project, made up from a team from Glasgow School of Art’s Digital Design Studio and digital heritage organisation CyArk, is to digitally scan the Sydney Opera House. Using cutting edge 3D scanning and visualisation technology, it will create a record of the famous building that will help in maintenance and conservation programmes. The team is currently working to record five Scottish heritage sites and five international sites. Australian Heritage Minister Tony Burke said “The Scottish Ten project will provide us and the Sydney Opera House Trust with extraordinary insights into one of our most well known buildings, and provide invaluable information and perhaps a new way of looking at the place.”
