3D multi-scale modelling of the interior of the Real Villa of Monza (ITALY)

Abstract

Real Villa in Monza (ITALY) was founded as a symbol of the prestige and the greatness of the Asburgic family. Maria Teresa decided to build it when she named his third-born child Ferdinand General Governor of the Austrian Reign of Lombardy. The work started in 1777 and was directed by the court architect Giuseppe Piermarini. This work takes place inside the "International Design Competition for the Refurbishment and Enhancement of the Real Villa in Monza and its Gardens" (http://villarealemonza.regione.lombardia.it). The aim is to generate materials to support the restoration and the representation for the Villa under different levels of detail. The work implies the realization of a multi-scale modelling. A little scale to represent the whole complexity of the building with its global constructive structure (1:20 1: 50) and for virtual navigation or web presentation. It is also necessary a big scale to model little details, useful for restoration and reproduction of particulars. Laser Scanner Leica HDS 3000 is used to create fast 3D models; topographic and digital photogrammetric survey are used to create detailed DTMs of vaults and walls. Leica Laser Trackers LTD706 is used for reverse engineering and rapid prototyping of little pieces of decorations or parts of ornaments.
