Using laser scanners and drones, a team of volunteers travelled across Ukraine documenting the destruction of cultural sites. This is the data they collected.
In its ruthless campaign to capture territory, the Russian military has pummelled huge swathes of the country into the ground.
The final fire brigade point cloud – the technical name for the 3D model – is made up of more than 1.6 billion points. The model you saw above was just 3 million points.The fire brigade is one of more than 170 cultural sites that UNESCO has verified as damaged or destroyed since the invasion began in February. A quarter of those buildings are in the Kharkiv region.
Revenko is an expert in photogrammetry, a process which combines multiple images to create complex three-dimensional models. Because of its significance, there are plans to leave the destroyed bridge as a monument and instead construct a new bridge next to it. This 19th-century Gothic revival building withstood Bolshevik shelling in 1918-1919 and fighting during World War II, according to Ukraine's Ministry of Culture.Revenko still remembers the look of shock on Durand's face when he saw the deep crater left behind by a Russian missile.3D expert Miguel Bandera created this model combining Durand's base scan with Revenko's images as the texture draped over the top.

Sale of strategic Pacific islands to China needs to be ‘prevented’The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s Michael Shoebridge has urged the Australian government to step in before a chain of islands off Australia’s east coast are purchased by Chinese interests.
