St Louis #3 Tombs Documentation featured on Dezeen

My photogrammetry of the Fernand May tomb and Allyson's drawings of the P. Pennacchia tomb were featured in Dezeen. For Studio I class in the historic preservation program, we documented tombs at St. Louis Number 3 Cemetery in New Orleans. I chose photogrammetry for the Fernand May tomb to build experience with Reality Capture and streamline the drawing process in AutoCAD, capturing every crack, patch of biogrowth, and surface detail with precision. I selected this tomb for its spatial features, as it was detached from others—ideal for photographing all sides. All necessary measurements were taken on-site to ensure precision. In contrast, my classmate, friend, and young mentor, Allyson Hinz, who has an interior design background, took a traditional approach, creating measured drawings of the similar P. Pennacchia tomb in the field.
