This is a manipulated 3D model of the MFO-Park in Zürich-Nord, tested for the workflow in the course series Topology at the LVML Lab, ETH Zürich. The MFO-Park was surveyed with a terrestrial scanner, the positions were registered in Cloud Compare, and the deformation was created in Blender. The deformed model has originally 54 mio points and was colored by mixing the RGB values of the scan with geometry-based scalar fields. This workflow was invented to bring students to interact with site identities and to imagine new open-space typologies for the urban environment.
The MFO-Park is a double-walled latticework steel construction supporting climbing plants built in 2002 on the site of the former Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) in Zürich-Nord. The project was designed by the architects Burckhardt + Partner, landscape architects Raderschallpartner and structural engineers Basler & Hofmann AG.
