Reviving a Historic Landmark: Assessment and Monitoring of “Detroit’s Largest Art Object,” the Iconic Fisher Building
Publication: Forensic Engineering 2022
ABSTRACT
Restoring a National Historic Landmark which is considered a unique and exemplary piece of Art Deco architecture and an iconic beacon for the City of Detroit may seem a daunting task. Utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art 3D Laser Scanning (LiDAR) combined with traditional hands-on examination techniques, the author developed a multi-pronged approach to understand the unique challenges facing the Fisher Building and develop a full restoration plan. This presentation will discuss the façade maintenance/restoration program of a 28-story building with a marble clad exterior. The paper is an overview of the hands-on inspection and make-safe repairs that were performed at the building elevations. In addition, the paper discusses how LiDAR technology has been employed to remotely monitor and detect the façade movement.
