UO Campus Model
Close-Up Image
The campus model has been developed by the Design Integration Lab with the sponsorship of the University Campus Planning Department (Chris Ramey) to support design, evaluation and promotion of new building projects on and around the campus.

The model has been built over the last two years by a revolving team of architecture students directed by Matthews, working with the DesignWorkshop modeling software, Radiance rendering software, and a file-server based coordination and version control system. It includes moderately detailed massing models of about 95 buildings plus paving and terrain with one foot contours in a modularized digital solid model representing about 8MB of core 3D data.
The campus model has already been used to support to diverse activities around the Oregon campus, including for instance a professional design charette on options for updating the law school building, as the foundational geometry set for an advanced visualization project in the Department of Computer and Information Science, and for an animated presentation campus orientation by the international students association.
