ThomasAV - Services for Historic Buildings

We offer comprehensive survey, illustration and visualization services for historic sites. We work on short-term and long-term projects ranging from a single rendering to the full duration of your management or research program. Our staff includes an architectural historian whose work emphasizes the application of visualization technology to historic research. Our drawings and renderings can be used in research, education, management, and presentation of historic sites for multiple periods and interpretations of historic and archaeological evidence. We work with you to ensure that the visualizations produced are accurate to the existing site and to the evidence for its appearance in the past as interpreted by current research. Whether you require two-dimensional plans, elevations, and sections or photorealistic renderings, interactive walkthroughs, or animations based on ground-up survey, Thomas Architectural Visualization is your one-stop survey, illustration and visualization firm.

Survey

Accurate visualization of historic sites requires survey data. If no survey exists for your site we can travel to the location and generate the data ourselves, whether the brief requires a low-level photographic survey or a full-scale architectural and archaeological instrument survey.

Two-Dimensional Illustration

From photographs or survey data we can create plans, sections, and elevations for your site as it exists at present or for any period in the past.

Three-Dimensional Models

Models can be produced to any level of detail. These could be simple massing models showing the basic form of existing or past buildings or fully-detailed and textured models used for high-quality renderings and presentations in print, film, or on the Web.

Renderings, Interactive Walkthroughs, and Animation

We can produce photorealistic single-image visualizations of your site which can be inserted into any number of media formats. We also create interactive walkthroughs for use in educational and Web resources which allow the user to explore your site with 360º of visual freedom. Finally, we can create animations which can be incorporated into video presentations and on DVD.
