The study focuses on the digital documentation and geometric modeling of the Susana Soca Chapel, an architectural masterpiece designed by Antonio Bonet in Uruguay. The chapel is known for its unique geometric form composed of equilateral triangles, and it holds significant historical and cultural value. The research utilizes advanced digital technologies such as laser scanning and photogrammetry to capture the three-dimensional data of the chapel. The model is then analyzed to establish compositional rules and generate a new model using Dynamo Revit and parametric design techniques. The results include a high-quality point cloud model, facilitating the exploration of generative design principles. The discussion highlights the use of non-explicit modeling tools in architecture, emphasizing the need to understand the underlying geometric principles that govern the creation of complex spatial compositions. The research aims to establish guidelines and protocols for the digital documentation and algorithmic design of architectural landmarks, presenting a challenging yet promising proposition in the field.
