Ever wonder how far 5 months of Google Earth modeling will get you? Just ask Auquicu, who has spent the past 5 months creating 3D models of buildings in Barranco, a district of Lima, Peru that is full of historical architecture. According to the Google Earth Blog, Auquicu created the models in order to “call attention to institutions and authorities to preserve the monumental architecture of the district, that is in some cases very neglected and damaged.” The effort also utilized over 800 photos applied as textures to the buildings. You can see highlights of the models in the video below or view the KMZ file in Google Earth.
