18th c. digital

John Hugens, OC '08, has created a 21st century 3-D model of an 18th
century English Palace, Blenheim Palace originally designed by Sir
John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor. John used Cinema 4D, a 3D
package used by many architectural firms to digitally reconstruct the
complex palace with the measured drawings published in Vitruvius
Britannicus
(Art Library Special Collections ), a multi-volume
collection of engravings by Colen Campbell, the first volume of which
was published in 1717. Vitruvius Britannicus contains nearly every
important work of contemporary architecture in England starting with
Inigo Jones as well as many original designs by Campbell himself.


Blenheim was constructed between 1705 and 1722 after the First Duke
of Marlborough won victories against the French and Bavarians
during the Second War of Spanish Succession. Blenheim Palace is the
birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill - his birth room is now a tourist
attraction. John's virtual Blenheim can be explored from many angles
and provides an understanding of the architects' play of depth and
light. Traveling through the model provides a feeling of envelopment,
which Vanbrugh's architecture is known for.
