Barn 2B app for iPhone and iPad

The Barn 2B ipad app is an interactive digital document containing 3D spatial information about a historic structure in Lithuania. Barn 2B is located North East of the town of Tauragnai, Utena on land neighbouring the LT Ranch Project Space.

While Barn 2B exists physically it is an unregistered property with no titles or deeds which identify its age, position or type at the local council registry. In November 2012 the complete exterior, interior and context of Barn 2B was 3D laser scanned using terrestrial LiDAR. This exercise marked the first in a series of moves to archive, label, digitally comprehend and physically transplant the structure from its present location to one 250+ meters away inside the LT Ranch boundary.

This app contains the digital version of Barn 2B - stored as a cloud of 984.5 million precisely measured, accurately coloured points. The barn sits here in a virtual version of its site. Every part is labelled. Each junction is recorded. This document aims to guide its future movements and store it’s current memory.

This document has been funded by the Research Department at the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury School of Architecture, UK. Flights and accommodation funded and provided by the Ranch Project Space. The 5 day scanning trip was generously supported by the inhabitants of Stuciai. Thank you.
