Inside the building - Layout

We wanted to let people to understand the inside layout better so we had drawn it in 2D. But, thanks to 3D digital technique, we have also made a 3D model, which is commonly seen in modern documentation for buildings and architecture.  

Figure 1.  Drawn previously to illustrate the layout in the building

Modeling of interior - Rib Vault

Rib vault is one of the most distinct feature of Gothic Architecture, intersection of numbers of barrel vaults form rib vault illustrated by 3D models
