A design for a WEB based interactive 3D model of historic buildings and centres in Dublin City (Virtual Historic Dublin City) paralleling smart city initiates is now under construction and led by the National Monuments at the Office of Public Works in Ireland.The aim is to facilitate the conservation and maintenance of historic infrastructure and fabric and the dissemination of knowledge for education and cultural tourism using an extensive Historic Building Information Model. Remote sensing data is now processed with greater ease to create 3D intelligent models in Historic BIM. While the use of remote sensing, HBIM and game engine platforms are the main applications used at present, 3D GIS has potential to form part of the workflow for developing the Virtual Historic City. 2D GIS is now being replaced by 3D spatial data allowing more complex analysis to be carried out, 3D GIS can define and depict buildings, urban rural centres in relation to their geometry topological, semantic and visualisation properties. The addition of semantic attributes allows complex analysis and 3D spatial queries for modelling city and urban elements. This analysis includes fabric and structural elements of buildings, relief, vegetation, transportation, water bodies, city furniture and land use.
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This paper will go into further detail on pressures and policies faced by the archaeological site of San Clemente’s caretakers, that affect the sites preservation. Including the protection of the riverbed along the fragile coast line represented by the masonry portion of the thermal bath’s foundation which is directly in contact with the water. Being the destiny of the site to be gradually eroded by flooding, digital documentation can play a significant role in documenting the sites changes over time allowing for easy analysis of newly revealed elements. As in the case of the documentation of the viewable openings through the thermal masonry-pipeline during the last surveying campaign this paper will discuss the experimentation of data management through Virtual Hub. Through which past sequences of data can be made accessible to anyone who must operate on the site, and to document the state of affairs of the archaeological complex over the last few years.</p>
As our world becomes increasingly globalized and transitory, it is important for design professionals to understand and embrace the intangible cultural heritage of their project sites through deeper engagement with local stakeholders. This comes alongside the need to understand the diasporic hybridization that occurs within communities relative to their built environment. Probing at such topics, this thesis examines the role of digital technologies in the transmission and preservation of intangible cultural heritage at the community level. It uses the Hungarian Hall in Brantford, Ontario as a case study, drawing from document analysis, site visits, and interviews to actively engage community members in a discussion about their identity and its connections to architecture. By collating sketches, stories, photographs, drawings, recipes, videos, and other artifacts curated into a visual, publicly accessible digital repository, the work expands definitions of Hungarian diasporic heritage and shares its evolution with the broader community.Overall, this thesis argues that design professionals can significantly support diasporic communities by devising innovative means of digitally capturing their hybrid intangible heritage and that such a repository can, in turn, be useful to architects to better understand the local context of their project sites. This allows us all to work toward more inclusive and just cities, and to support the continual growth and sharing of embedded community knowledge. vi vii
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
