Donda Chicago – Kanye West
Newest Era of Kanye
Grammy Winner Kanye West envisioned bringing his childhood home from a South Shore neighborhood to Chicago’s Soldier Field. While bringing his actual home across town would prove logistically impossible. Technology allowed us to scan the property before it was scheduled to be demolished and create a replica of Kanye’s childhood home.

Pre-Production
Before the Build
To create a scale model of Kayne West’s childhood home, the crew at Production Plus scanned the building using the latest imaging capture cameras and software.
Our team utilized a photogrammetry process to create a 3D model of the house. After the 3D model was created, then scale was developed for the desired dimensions; this involves measuring known reference points on the building and adjusting the model accordingly. Then errors or imperfections are manually improved, and the render is surfaced. Once the model is finalized, you can export it in a suitable format for visualization and further analyzed.
