A Brief Introduction
Upon its completion in 1247, the twice collapsed and rebuilt Cathedral of Beauvais boasted the tallest choir ever built in Europe, and is still one of the most daring feats in Gothic architecture. Gale-force winds off the English channel constantly strain the cathedral's flying buttresses, and threaten a third collapse. Scanning was done as part of the cathedral's historic preservation program, and has provided both documentation and models for structural analysis.
Statement of Data QualityThe data collected for the Cathedral of Beauvais was recorded as part of the historic preservation program being conducted at the cathedral. The main interior spaces as well as the full exterior were documented.
