When it comes to preserving architectural heritage - especially the kind that exists in St. Petersburg - it is important to understand that modern methods make it possible not only to make drawings, but also to create living digital copies of entire buildings. The company Architectural Photogrammetry, operating for more than a dozen years, offers more than simple measurements. This is a real digitalization of monuments, where every crack, every bend of the cornice becomes part of a three-dimensional model.
Laser scanning here is not a fashionable trend, but a necessity. Imagine a cathedral that has been standing for over a hundred years, and new cracks appear every year. How to accurately record it? The answer is high-precision photography. A team of specialists conducts up to five hundred scanning stations, collecting about two billion points. Yes, you heard right - two billion. This data forms a color 3D model that can be rotated, enlarged, and studied in detail even where a person can never reach.
It is interesting that the company’s projects are not limited to St. Petersburg. There is work in Lomonosov, Kronstadt, Moscow - but the main thing is that all this is done according to a single methodology. No simplifications. Not a single mistake due to haste.
Do you know how many historical buildings there are now that can no longer be restored if they are completely destroyed? What if we had an exact digital copy of them? Then, even in the event of a fire or natural disaster, we could revive the architectural masterpiece anew. This is exactly how photogrammetry works: it doesn't just record, it stores.
Example - Ascension Military Cathedral. More than five hundred scanning stations were carried out here. The result is two billion points and a color model where every element is visible as if it were alive. This is not just a photo, it is a map that you can use to walk inside the building, even though it lies in ruins.
And there is also the Bolshoi Drama Theater named after. Tovstonogov. A full range of measuring works. Facades, interiors, roofing - everything is taken into account, all angles are measured.And this is just the beginning. The company takes on complex objects where conventional shooting will not help. For example, when you need to track deformations in old monasteries or palaces with underground corridors.
Technology, of course, is important. But the main thing remains people. They have 17 years of experience. More than four hundred objects. Every project is a story that needs to be told correctly. Not through advertising. Through facts. Through data. Through models that can be used for the future.

It is a method of obtaining accurate geometric data about buildings and structures using digital photography and laser scanning. The result is a 3D model, drawings, measurements.
Measurements of facades, interiors, roofing; creation of BIM models; crack monitoring; processing old photographs; topographic geodesy; work with historical monuments.
It all depends on the scale of the object. For a small apartment - a couple of days. For the whole cathedral - several weeks, including data collection and processing.
Of course. Spot models and DWG drawings are used to restore damaged or destroyed buildings.
Main office - St. Petersburg. But there are projects in Moscow, Lomonosov, Kronstadt, Strelna and other cities of Russia.
