Mynd Workshop Has San Fransisco City Hall In Mind, San Fransisco, CA 94102

Drone Brothers, on behalf of Mynd Workshop’s San Francisco City Hall Project, captured images for visual analytical inspection data.

Mynd’s Reality Capture services for San Francisco provide architects, developers, VFX artists, and museum curators with high-resolution 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and digital twin solutions. Using LiDAR and drone-based reality capture, they generate precise point clouds, 3D models, and site documentation for use in construction, interactive media, and digital preservation. They serve the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, and Palo Alto. Whether scanning historic facades for restoration, creating CGI environments for gaming, or providing large-scale reality capture for urban planning, their technology ensures precision and adaptability.

San Francisco City Hall is the seat of government for the City and County of San Francisco, California. Reopened in 1915 in its open space area in the city’s Civic Center, it is a Beaux-Arts monument to the City Beautiful movement, which epitomized the high-minded American Renaissance of the 1880s to 1917. The structure’s dome is taller than that of the United States Capitol by 42 feet (13 m). The present building replaced an earlier City Hall that was destroyed during the 1906 earthquake, which was two blocks from the present one.

The principal architect was Arthur Brown, Jr., of Bakewell & Brown, whose attention to the finishing details extended to the doorknobs and the typeface to be used in signage. Brown also designed the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower, and the Federal office building at 50 United Nations Plaza.
