# Awesome Aerial Photography Brett Beyer Captures Rooftop Architectural Images By Jordy E | Published 2012-04-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brett-beyer References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2012/04/12/brett-beyer/) & [brettbeyer](http://brettbeyer.com/) New York-based photographer Brett Beyer has captured the magic that is Millstein Hall at [Cornell University's College of Architecture and Planning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darpa-1). Building upon Google Earth's theme of mapping the world from an elevated perspective, Beyer's scheme involved the insertion of a camera into the ceiling of the 25,000 square-foot structure. The Beyer project took 250 snapshots of every inch of the Millstein Hall. Once this was done, the images were amalgamated with the use of Photoshop. This lengthy undertaking produced a breathtaking aerial view of the recently constructed building. In line with the institution's focus on architecture, the collection displays [incredible winding staircases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape), unique seating arrangements and interactive student activity. This set is now featured in Cornell University's quarterly newsletter, and will certainly attract some well-deserved attention from the academy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aerial Mapping:** Using aerial photography to map structures from elevated perspectives could revolutionize the field of architecture. - **Augmented Reality Design:** Combining aerial photography with augmented reality technology could allow architects and designers to visualize and manipulate structures in new ways. - **Interactive Education:** Interactive and immersive educational experiences, like the collection of aerial photos featuring Cornell University's College of Architecture and Planning, could become increasingly popular in educational institutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Aerial photography could become a valuable tool in the field of architecture for mapping, design visualization, and promotional materials. - **Education:** Interactive educational experiences, such as those created through aerial photography and augmented reality technology, could greatly enhance learning opportunities. - **Tourism:** Using aerial photography and augmented reality technology, tourism industries could offer unique and immersive experiences that showcase the beauty and wonder of the world from new perspectives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating-Style Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomberg-center.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Photograph-Centric Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art.md) - [Gallery-Like Elevated Retail Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-store-gallery.md) - [Traditional Sustainable School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universidad-ean-1.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Brooklyn Residential Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brook.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md)
