About
The book of references is composed of a number of structures, buildings and spaces from within county Mayo. Mapping their location. Surveying them. Analysing their construction, their form and their relation to the landscape (physical, historical or by toponym).
Taking advantage of modern computational methods in order to carry out these surveys in immense detail they resulted in composing 3D point cloud models of each Building/Structure/Space, through a combination of laser scanning and photographic surveying.
These detailed point cloud scans form the basis for a series of analytical and exploratory drawing and model studies. The work is still ongoing and but studies of a number of structures are largely complete.
The selection for the festival include the Achill Henge, The temple at the Neale, Old Post Office Castlebar and the Mausoleum at Holly mount.
