Mountainous Banat Museum Reșița, Romania

About the Project
"The idea of establishing the museum came from the intellectuals of Reşiţa, lovers of local history and culture, who, in 1957, formed a "Committee for the Establishment of the Museum" within the factories of Reşiţa, with the priority of saving the industrial heritage of Banat. Thus, as a result of donations from private collections, in the autumn of 1959 the Museum of the History of Banat Industry in Reşiţa was established, officially certified in March 1962. After the administrative reorganization into counties of Romania, in 1968, the Reşiţa museum became the County History Museum of Caraş-Severin County. The construction of the current building was completed in 1987, and the real life of the museum began in 1990, when the first exhibitions were arranged and opened to the public. Starting with 1997, the museum received its current name, the Museum of Mountainous Banat in Reşiţa. The museum's permanent exhibitions opened in May 2000, after a quarter-century break."

As rehabilitation and energy efficiency works of the building were to be carried out, our role was to present the existing situation as accurately as possible to our collaborators - Rollundfenster Montaj S.R.L.
Attention was focused on the representation correlated with reality, especially of the walls, facade gaps, ramps, stairs and railings. This information was to be used in the subsequent design stages.
About the Process
The field data collection was made exclusively with the Trimble X7 laser scanner. Given the objective of the project, texture data was ignored, the focus being on the geometry. Scanning stations were made to capture the whole exterior of the building, even in the access spaces to the basement, as well as on the roof terraces. A set of ground and drone photographs were also captured, but used only as reference photos for the remodeling phase.
The remodeling of the facility was carried out based on the point cloud resulted from the scan, which was performed in the specialized software - ArchiCAD. At the end of the project, an IFC file was delivered to the beneficiary for use in subsequent design stages.
Quantifiable Data
• Field data collection (photos and laser stations): 12 hours
• Number of photos for reference:
ground photos: 278 / drone photos: 192
• Number of laser stations: 106
• Processing data resulting from scanning (point-cloud, mesh): 4 hours
• Post-processing - remodeling in specialized software to obtain the optimized model: 200 hours
