What to look for

The opening tells the story.

The film has an ambient soundtrack without spoken narration. The following description and chapter labels explain the visual sequence.

Watch the camera move down the corridor. The scan and reconstruction share the same viewpoint, so the door frames, sidelights and open leaves can be compared in place.

The film moves from the main hall to individual openings, then glazing and the stairwell. The clean model makes the architectural structure easier to read; the source points keep the captured evidence visible.

Study scope
The film is an illustrative reconstruction study. Finishes, lighting and additional production details are interpretive. Geometry remains provisional; this demonstration does not establish independently surveyed accuracy or a complete, certified BIM deliverable.
