2Abstract
- Building pathology - the process of analysing the
condition of a building and its components, and
making recommendations for defect repair. - Building surveying students need to do this.
- Fieldwork exercises are essential but
classroom/desk studies, which can be used without
having to locate suitable buildings within the
study programme period, can have enormous
benefits. - This paper examines a virtual resource, developed
by and used at Leeds Met. We will look at the
technologies, using 360 panoramic scenes with
linked hotspots, used to create an interactive
virtual tour of a Grade I 16th century hunting
lodge.
