9 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Arched windows and a hipped roof
The west face has rows of tall arched windows under a hipped roof with small dormers. Full detail keeps that relief on large prints; Print friendly simplifies it at small sizes.
- Hidden behind taller blocks
From the east and south, taller neighbors cover most of the building. A larger print size helps its facade show, and 0.12-0.16 mm layers keep the window rows crisp.
- One piece with the ground
Casa Italiana is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Casa Italiana takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About Casa Italiana
Casa Italiana belongs to Columbia University. Its address is 1161 Amsterdam Avenue, and it sits between West 116th and West 118th Streets in Manhattan's Morningside Heights. William M. Kendall, of the firm McKim, Mead & White, designed it in the Renaissance style, based on a 15th-century Roman palazzo, and it was built in 1926-27. In the 1920s, Italian student clubs at Columbia and Barnard rallied support. Joseph Paterno and Michael Paterno, with Anthony Campagna, built it and paid whatever contributions did not cover.
When it was done in 1927, its west and south facades were clad entirely in limestone, unlike the brick of most campus buildings, apart from Low Library. The north and east facades partly abutted neighboring buildings, so their exposed parts were brick. The roof, a low slope, was covered with Ludowici tiles chosen to echo the Italian style.
In 1996, Buttrick White & Burtis restored the building, with Italo Rota as associate architect, and completed the east facade. It is the home of Columbia's Italian Academy for Advanced Studies. Casa Italiana is one of three Columbia buildings designated as New York City landmarks, in 1978. It gained National Register of Historic Places status in 1982.
About this model
Casa Italiana is one of more than 4,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
