RECONSTRUCTION RECORD · FIELD BUILD 18

A town built from evidence.

Reading reconstruction coverage…

Measured
EA 1 m LiDAR ground and roof observations, with OSTN15 coordinate alignment. The town-centre ground mesh uses 2 m spacing.
Mapped
OSM building outlines, surface polygons, stairs, tree points and street-object locations. Missing coverage remains unknown.
Reference-modelled
Selected historic facades use conservation records and inspected photos for materials, bay counts and details.
Still estimated
Unphotographed facades, material finishes, some road widths and threshold dimensions. LiDAR does not provide window/door detail and can smooth short stair rises. Inferred paving and uncertain roof observations are recorded separately.

The built-up town shares the same low-poly material and detail system. Individual historic reference models retain their observed details; unpictured neighbourhood facades use building-type estimates.

St Swithun’s church and churchyard follow Historic England records, parish photographs and mapped paths. Concealed roof pitches, individual grave positions and small monument dimensions remain estimates.

The Atrium’s exterior follows building photographs. Published plans guided the original interior and stair core; its trading hall, casino and cinema are a game adaptation requested by the player. The lower-ground level is omitted. Floor heights and the cinema fit-out remain estimates.
