UNESCO, in partnership with World Monuments Fund (WMF), sent a team of experts from the University of Cape Town led by Prof. Heinz Rüther to the Stone Town of Zanzibar World Heritage property from 28 January to 2 February 2021. They  are undertaking 3D data collection at the historic House of Wonders building, which partially collapsed on 25 December 2020, as part of an in-depth survey and condition assessment.
The mission team has captured metrically accurate spatial data using laser scanning, drone and terrestrial photography for photogrammetry, panorama photography and satellite images to ensure a high degree of accuracy. It is using the latest equipment to determine the presence and quantities of deformations at the House of Wonders. “All data captured will then be processed to generate 3D models, sections, plans, elevations, panoramas and panorama tours which will then be used to create site animations and interactive virtual worlds,” said Prof Rüther.
