CyArk and Iron Mountain Digitally Preserve Philippines’ San Sebastian Basilica: Iron Mountain Incorporate, the global leader in storage and information management, and CyArk, a heritage preservation non-profit, today announced a new project to 3D map and model the San Sebastian Basilica in Manila, Philippines, the world’s first all-steel basilica. This project, the latest through Iron Mountain and CyArk’s ongoing partnership, continues their shared mission to digitally capture, archive and share the world’s cultural and historical heritage. The San Sebastian Basilica, located in Manila, Philippines, was first constructed in 1621. Over the course of a week, CyArk will use 3D mapping technology, including laser scanners and digital imaging from the ground and air via drones to create an accurate and precise 3D model of the site as it exists today. Following the capture process, CyArk will deliver architectural drawings and maps of the Basilica to be used in ongoing conservation efforts and that can be used as an accurate point in time record to monitor change over time.
