Did you know one of Electrical Engineering's greatest achievements is now a giant ruin in a parking lot? Buildings are living databases of untold stories, yet we know so little about them. By modeling them, we become the storytellers. Join us:

Hidden in a quiet valley at Unjusa Temple, Hwasun County, South Jeolla, South Korea, seventy weather-softened stone Buddhas still stand.
Carved centuries ago from crumbly volcanic tuff—not granite—their flat, blurred faces echo a long-lost dream of “a thousand Buddhas.”

Built in the 12th century after the Seljuk Turks seized this

For 100+ years, heritage conservation has relied on one of the hardest but most reliable tools: measured drawings.
Plans, sections, elevations, axonometric views—painstakingly recorded to capture a building’s exact form.
Measured drawings flatten 3D into 2D for transmission &
Here is plot twist from nature: Hala Mountain in China isn't a mountain at all, but a magnificent stone pillar rising nearly 100m from a lake. Quarry work carved everything around it a century ago, leaving this lone sentinel. There is no mountain but a surrounding hole.
Hello Singapore! But what is Singapore?
Singapore represents a vision of historical globalization and future thinking. Funes has created six buildings showcasing Singapore's core values. Click the link to view 3D models of all the buildings.
