GIS and BIM as Integrated Digital Environments for Modeling and Monitoring of Historic Buildings

Abstract

Multidisciplinary data integration within an information system is considered a key point for rehabilitation projects. Information regarding the state of preservation and/or decision making, for sustainable restoration is prerequisite. In addition, achieving structural integrity of a historic building, especially one that has undergone many construction phases and restoration interventions, is a very elaborate task and should, therefore, involve the study of multidisciplinary information regarding historical, architectural, building material and geometric data. In this paper the elaboration of such data within 2D and 3D information systems is described. Through the process described herein, a methodology, including the acquisition, classification and management of various multisensory data, is displayed and applied within a geographic information system (GIS). Moreover, the multidisciplinary documentation process, aggregated with the surveying products, generates 3D heritage building information modeling (HBIM), including information regarding construction phases, pathology and current state of preservation of a building. The assessment of the applied methodology is performed concluding in a qualitative and a quantitative manner, in both 2D and 3D environments, providing information to facilitate the structural assessment of a historic building. Thus, in this work, the described methodology is presented, combining the multidisciplinary data with the development of GIS thematic maps and an HBIM. Representative results of the suggested methodology applied on the historic building of Villa Klonaridi, Athens, Greece are displayed.

Development of an Integrated Bim-Gis Management Tool for Maintenance Plan of Historical Heritage

“…Furthermore, there is also an increasing interest in inserting HBIM models in their urban-environmental context, thus allowing more articulated, complex and complete analyses (Vacca, Quaquero, Pili, & Brandolini, 2018;Matrone, Colucci, De Ruvo, Lingua, & Spanò, 2019;Bruno et al, 2020;Colucci, De Ruvo, Lingua, Matrone, & Rizzo, 2020;Tsilimantou, Delegou, Nikitakos, Ioannidis, & Moropoulou, 2020). In some of these cases, however, there is no unique interoperable database capable of containing both data from the BIM and GIS domains.…”

3d Gis for a Smart Management System Applied to Historical Villages Damaged by Earthquake

“…An example of a detailed description of the damage state of these buildings in Italy is outlined on the technical data sheets called AeDES, whose acronym stands for "building operability and damage in post-earthquake emergency" (Baggio et al, 2007), recorded by the Italian Civil Protection. Through GIS it will be possible to create a link to these documents for each building and try to describe the state of damage by enriching the 3D model with thematic mappings of the decay (Malinverni, Giuliano, & Mariano, 2018;Tsilimantou, Delegou, Nikitakos, Ioannidis, & Moropoulou, 2020). Once collected the AeDES data sheets, the operation adopted is to store such files in a webserver and link each file with its building in the model.…”

HBIM for the preservation of a historic infrastructure: the Carlo III bridge of the Carolino Aqueduct

“…A multi-disciplinary diagnostic approach, and the integration of GIS and HBIM, instead, supported the creation of a database including qualitative and quantitative data and complete conservation project with an integrated use of GIS and BIM tools (Tsilimantou et al 2020).…”
