This project is a 3d modeling recreation of Michelangelo’s Laurentian Library in Florence, an architectural masterpiece from the 1500s. The volume in question is that large vestibule at the entrance of the library, with the iconic stairs curling towards it.
One of the most remarkable subjects of wonder from architecture students such as I was a few years back is now made readable in a digital version, in any section, axonometric view, perspective shot you can think of.The model is made with extremely close accuracy, in this real world scale version. Around +95% accurate, based on the most pecise drawings I could find and also tons of visual reference pictures taken from inside this famous vestibule.
There is one version of the scene with the round volutes (which I finally managed to make) and columns and another one with more squared geometry.The base 2D files (dwg and jpg) as well as exported ones from sketchup are available, as can be seen in the preview images.
Native format
The vestibule has been designed as a giant box that can be opened or closed on the wall facing the stairs, revolving around the corners. No details on the outside facades at this point.
Converted formats to fbx, obj, dwg and 3ds are also available.For more information on the making of this model, you can check out the post on my blog :https://xwarchitecture.com/michelangelo-library-3d-model/
Any questions about the model feel free to contact me, also by the way, if you like it let me know.
