Lasers and History! 3D laser scanning the endangered 1964 World’s Fair New York State Pavilion for digital preservation.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project is a collaboration between the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Simulation & Training and non-profit CyArk to digitally preserve a National Treasure, the 1964-65 World’s Fair New York State Pavilion, as commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller and designed by influential architect Philip Johnson. The digital preservation will occur with high-speed, high-precision 3D laser scanners. And all resulting 3D data will be made freely available to the public.

CyArk have the technology.They have the expertise.They have the permissions.

Now, CyArk need your help to fund the field work.
