3D modeling of the Swiss Federal Archives

In a pioneering move, we have created a 3D digital copy of the Swiss Federal Archives building. This virtual replica offers a new way of exploring and interacting with this historic site, while adding an innovative dimension to its use.

Creating the 3D copy

Using advanced digitization technologies, we have faithfully reproduced every architectural detail of the Federal Archives. This digital copy allows users to virtually navigate the building, offering an immersive and educational experience.

Adding an imaginary, futuristic floor

In addition to the faithful replica, we imagined and designed a futuristic, entirely virtual floor. This space, equipped with cutting-edge technology, is dedicated to the organization of conferences and meetings. Users can come together in this innovative environment for interactive and collaborative events.

Virtual floor features

  • Meeting spaces: Modular rooms for discussions and presentations.
  • Immersive technologies: virtual and augmented reality tools to enrich interactions.
  • Global accessibility: remote participation via 3D avatars, enabling international collaboration without geographical constraints.

Impact and outlook

This initiative marks an important step towards integrating digital technologies into archive management and use. It also opens up new perspectives for event organization, making meetings more dynamic and engaging.

Conclusion

The creation of this 3D copy of the Swiss Federal Archives building and futuristic floor illustrates how technological innovation can transform our interactions with heritage and improve our professional practices. We are proud of this achievement and look forward to seeing how it is adopted by users.
