Using Aerial Photography to Survey
Blessed Trinity RC Church
There are only so many photos you can take from standing on or around a project site. Flynn Battaglia Architects has begun work for exterior renovations at the Blessed Trinity Church on Leroy Avenue in the City of Buffalo, a historic church completed in 1928 with a facade of mostly irregular, unmolded brick laid in irregular intricate patterns. To begin the project, a report was commissioned to determine a prioritized inventory of work needed on the church building. Ordinarily, for this type of survey work, we would rent a lift, strap in to the required harness and elevate up the side of the building to roof level, take pictures and investigate the exterior building conditions in person. This project is the first of its kind that FBA opted to use aerial photography and videography to investigate the existing conditions. With high-resolution digital photography and videography of the building, the project team was able to examine the conditions from the ground as well as including views that are unattainable from a lift. Thanks to Buffalo Above for collaborating with us on this.
