What is a Footprint?

A building footprint is the outline of the surface space occupied by a structure.

We view most buildings from the ground. The arial images on this page should

we see in person or in most photographs.

The Pennsylvania Capitol Complex in Harrisburg is
impressive, to say the least. For a better
