Existing model of the Wipkingen church in Zurich
The conversion of the Wipkingen Reformed Church into school space poses a structural challenge. A restrained conversion that respects the architectural character of the church is supported by a precise BIM as-built model, which serves as the basis for the competition and project planning.

Since 2019, the Wipkingen church has no longer been used for church purposes and is now to be converted into school space. To support the planning, we created a detailed BIM as-built model of the church together with the Geomatics + Surveying department of the City of Zurich. The department independently captured the entire building as a point cloud using a laser scanner and drone. We then created the model of the church. The complex and elaborate modeling of the old church was carried out entirely in Revit. The roof truss, the many different windows and the slightly tilted ceilings posed the greatest challenge for the modeling.
