Canaletto: Synthetic Compositions of Maritime Greenwich

Southeast London benefits from some of the finest historical buildings the city has to offer, and Greenwich is particularly notable for the Queen's House, the Old Royal Naval College and other magnificent edifices of maritime history. Using all the relevant technology available to them (drones, LiDAR scanners and ground‐penetrating radar), Captivate – a small research group of academic architects, landscapers and computer whizzes at the University of Greenwich – are revealing much about this area that has previously been unknown. Founder member Simon Withers shows us some of its recent explorations.
