Abstract
This research aims to build a digital urban landscape based on as-built environmental information for cultural studies of old streets. Scans were made to the streets and facades in a famous sightseeing location, Yingge Old Street, in northern Taiwan. A 3D laser scanner was used to record buildings, plants, and open spaces in a static configuration starting from a bridge as the gateway to the city. The final urban information creates a precise description of objects with colors and textures feasible for internet browsing and infrastructure illustration and measurement. A study was made on the second contour and the micro expression of the old streets, which represents the cultural characteristics. A new design style as a new symbolic representation of the entrance to the old street was explored as a visual illustration that contrasts between modern design vocabulary and traditional old street components, or international style and traditional ceramic icons like a brick chimney and pot walls. This study considers the local cultural icon should comprise objects with 3D as-built configuration as the best representation approach. 3D scan has been proven to be one of the best approaches to achieve this goal.
