As highly accurate technologies such as photography or videography have the tendency to frame architecture in a way that impedes us from profusely comprehending and even immersing within the built world, is there another way to achieve representational holism? With the development of novel technologies such as 3D scanning, new methodologies might allow us to attain a higher accuracy in conveying architecture. Presumably, a myriad of complexities can be added to those captured by either photography or motion picture through these emerging technologies. Ultimately, the aim of this dissertation is to interrogate how the intricacy and pluralism of the built environment could be better conveyed. As novel technologies, such as 3D laser scanning, provide us with additional layers of understanding, will we finally be able to portray the built environment as a purely changeable, livable entity, an agent within a complex network of heterogenous interactions?
