Kyiv begins 3D mapping of St. Michael's Monastery underground complex
Specialists have begun digitizing the 18th-century underground complex of St. Michael's Monastery to create a 3D model.
Specialists in Kyiv have begun digitally documenting and creating a 3D model of the 18th-century underground complex of St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery. The Kyiv City State Administration's Department of Cultural Heritage Protection announced the launch of the project to create a digital twin of the architectural monument.
Experts from the Ancient Kyiv State Historical and Architectural Reserve are documenting the site's architecture, structural features, and spatial layout. The underground complex is eventually expected to be transformed into a museum and cultural space.
"The resulting 3D model will allow us to study in detail the geometry of the underground chambers, the condition of the vaults, stone structures, and other architectural elements," said Department Director Maryna Solovyova. "It will later be used to monitor the monument's structural condition, plan restoration work, conduct scientific research, and create virtual tours."
As the UOJ previously reported, 26 historic churches in the Rivne region have been digitally documented.
