Experts of the Glasgow School of Art’s Digital Design Studio have created the images, which were generated using laser scanning techniques and will form the database for a BIM model that will document all the stages of the restoration of the building to create a detailed record of the works done for future use by both the GSA and other organizations that carry out complex restorations of historic buildings.
The detailed 3D images were released as the Glasgow School of Art issued the invitation to tender for the main contractor. The images show the damage and the huge task ahead for those working on the restoration. The restoration project of the school is being led by the studio based in Glasgow Page\Park.
Restoration works of Grade A listed building are set to begin after the school’s degree show closes in the summer. It will start with the removal of the stonework of the library’s window gable and following that the roofs which were totally destroyed by the fire will be reconstructed.
The restoration project is set to complete in 2018.
The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) has published a series of 3D images of the Mackintosh Building, as it is today, after the fire it suffered in 2014, to assist in the restoration works.
