April 21, 2010. Starting in mid-May 2010, Leica Geosystems High-Definition Surveying (HDS~(TM)) technology will be used to scan the narrow street canyons of Lower Manhattan to capture the complex spatial qualities within the city's historic Dutch street grid. The results will be displayed at a public exhibition at the Van Alen Institute's Manhattan gallery space with videos, 3d printed models and photographic prints of 3d meshes point clouds. This work is due to a partnership between Leica Geosystems and two research fellows with the Van Alen Institute. This project will explore new methods for quantifying the complexity of cities and to discover new uses for the HDS~(TM) technology.
