“…It was therefore decided to ascribe a higher priority to organisational/managerial interventions (that do not intervene on the material structures of the buildings) and, only in the case in which these types of interventions are not sufficient or feasible, to devise adequate architectural solutions which, although modifying the context, do so in full respect of both its value and quality. Since the monumental complex of Santa Maria del Fiore presents elements with inherent inaccessibility issues, such as the Brunelleschi Dome or Giotto's Bell Tower, for example, and the use of mechanical solutions to ensure physical accessibility to these places is difficult and in many cases impossible, there are numerous solutions contemplated by the Action Plan that make use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in order to offer an alternative experience and the possibility, for everyone, to access content, information and data that are currently inaccessible [3]. Finally, since the possibility of enhancing the accessibility of a place is connected to its inherent features and its architectural essence, it was considered useful to assess, for every building and space analysed, the carrying capacity, in other words the threshold beyond which the intervention contemplated irretrievably alters the structure's essential features, as well as the points of minor resistance, that is the parts or areas of the asset that are better suited for accommodating the devices aimed at increasing the general degree of accessibility.…”

Italy is the country with the highest number of sites recognised as World Heritage by UNESCO and one of the nations with the highest density of sites of cultural interest both in Europe and in the world. Unfortunately, only a small part of these are completely and easily accessible, and certain of the most fragile sections of society, for example disabled persons, are in fact excluded from the possibility of visiting and discovering the said places. The research presented here represents an “experiment” in the application of the methodology of the Accessibility Plan to the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, in other words the attempt to increase the degree of accessibility of the complex through a medium and long-term innovative strategic planning tool that takes into consideration not only material aspects (physical and sensory accessibility) but also aspects of an intangible nature, thus making it possible for people to fully understand the cultural meanings of the places, and focusing on the “experiential dimension of the visit” [1].

“…To ensure the information can be shared by unskilled users in the future, it is important to increase the ease of use for stakeholders through user-friendly measures such as interface visualisation and streamlined operation [14]. This will not only facilitate public participation in heritage planning and tourism development decisions, but will also serve as a foundation for developing virtual tour platforms via online access, cloud platforms, and ICT [133,153], opening up new channels for education, dissemination, and cultural transmission of heritage. Moreover, the results of Figure 4 indicate that how to make cultural heritage accessible to all is a key part of BIM for the long-term growth of cultural heritage tourism.…”

At present, incorrect or aggressive conservation efforts harm not only the building heritage, but also its cultural significance and authenticity. There is an urgent need to investigate existing studies that utilise proper methods and processes of the digital economy and technology to promote sustainable architecture and building heritage conservation and heritage tourism development and management to achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). Hence, this paper aims to explore the role of digital economy technology, i.e., building information modelling (BIM), in promoting the harmonious development of cultural architectural and building heritage conservation and sustainable cultural heritage tourism, as well as to reveal the current state of the research and hotspots in BIM-driven cultural heritage conservation for sustainable cultural heritage tourism. A mix of a macro-quantitative bibliometric method and a follow-up micro-qualitative content analysis method has been employed to highlight the significance and promise of the interdisciplinary domains of BIM, cultural heritage conservation, and sustainable cultural heritage tourism to the attainment of SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) focused on three specific goals, i.e., enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanisation (SDG 11.3), strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage (SDG 11.4), and reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities (SDG 11.6); and SDG 17 (partnerships) regarding four issues, i.e., stakeholder relationships, public participation, heritage conservation experts, and management. Additionally, three categories of research themes have been identified: cultural heritage conservation, heritage and tourism management, and support of emerging technology. Furthermore, the relationships between BIM and sustainable cultural heritage tourism from the last 26 years (1997 to 2022) have been revealed with visualisations of future research trends in BIM, cultural heritage conservation, and sustainable cultural heritage tourism.

“…Moreover, others prefer to work outside the BIM authoring environments in order to interoperate or to perform data management optimization but allowing specific queries among heterogeneous data (Gargaro, Giudice, & Ruffino, 2019). Very robust approaches show frameworks for integrating different expertise, advanced methodologies for integrated data capturing, semantic modelling in BIM environment and the development of a platform to collect, archive and share semantically enriched models (Maietti et al, 2019).…”

The development of Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) focuses (among other uses) on the adaptation of the BIM methodology to the historical building’s features, as well as on increasing geometric accuracy and on model data enrichment. Regarding the first issue, it can be underlined, on the one hand, that historical buildings are the result of a sequence of transformations that take place throughout their whole history; they cannot be considered as unitary objects that have been created in a single moment. Therefore, they have a temporal sequence which can be understood as the essence of their evolving nature. On the other hand, historical architecture has different construction materials and techniques, with other kinds of features and pathological processes that are quite different from those of contemporary buildings. In this line, this study proposes a new workflow that allows outlining new criteria that include both the temporal sequence and the constructive features of historical buildings. For this purpose, the case study of the Real Colegiata of San Isidoro in León (Spain) has been considered. In order to create the model, several modelling strategies have been used to compare both the results and the time spent in this task. Then, the model has been divided into several parts, both in terms of constructive criteria and temporal stratification, and thus, the database and the implemented information have been organized following such essential aspects of the historical building. Finally, to provide an advanced and more efficient use of the information, customized queries have been created using Dynamo, allowing searching with combined criteria and the isolation and visualization of the resulting elements. This could be helpful for both research and conservation and management activities.Highlights:<ul><li>A comparison of modelling strategies applied to historical buildings taking into consideration their singularities and estimation of required times and benefits.</li><li>The division and taxonomy of the model to incorporate both the temporal sequence and the constructive aspects, allowing enrichment of the HBIM model with customized parameters.</li><li>The development of queries generated in Dynamo to allow customized and combined searches of data, optimizing the use of the database.</li></ul>
