Landmarks

Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, British Museum

Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, British Museum in London, United Kingdom, by Foster + Partners; Reading Room by Sydney Smirke, rebuilt as an approximate visual BIM model from 5 published architectural references. The building measures 81 × 105 m on plan and 32 m tall, across 3 named levels: Great Court floor, Reading Room terrace (nominal), Gridshell and Reading Room dome.

Modelled detail includes asymmetric circular-to-rectangular triangulated gridshell, central stone Reading Room drum and dome and paired sweeping stairs and annular terrace.

The template ships with 6 saved scenes — a street-level approach, 4 viewpoints from the building's own observation set, and an aerial three-quarter — and carries the real site at Great Russell St, London WC1B 3DG, UK, so map context and sun angles line up when you open it. It is an approximate visual reconstruction for design and presentation use, not a measured survey, certified BIM, engineering model or construction document.
