"Build your Campus in 3D" is a competition currently run by Google for US universities. Students participate by submitting a detailed model of their campus, that does not exceed 5 MB. Points are assigned for the visual quality and capturing an authentic look of the campus. Although there is no such competition for universities outside the US, the faculties architecture and regional and environmental planning of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern decided to see if they could accomplish the task anyway. Under the supervision of Cand. Ing. Jan Exner and Tony Poesch a detailed model was created, along with parking lots, faculty labels and even bus routes. Check it out for yourself at the faculty's website. After the winners of the US competition were announced, the K-Town faculties felt they were on par with the winning results. Too bad, a European competition is not planned.
