Managing Information to Improve Conservation: The HBIM of the Wooden Chain of Santa Maria del Fiore

Abstract

A key potential of HBIM is its ability to reflect the complexity and stratification of built heritage. By gathering in a single place multiple data, the HBIM streamlines the knowledge process that is at the base of conservation activities. By describing the informative tool developed to support the preservation of the chestnut chain of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, this paper aims to address the topic of the management of information within the HBIM. In particular, it focuses on how to systematize data in order to facilitate decision making within the frame of a preventive and planned conservation. To this end, the research proposes a possible articulation for the informative apparatus to be associated with the 3D model. More importantly, it makes an attempt to translate qualitative data into numerical values to define a priority index. The latter will improve the scheduling and implementation of maintenance activities, concretely impacting the overall conservation of the object.

Harnessing Heritage BIM for Enhanced Architectural Documentation of Ad Deir in Petra

“…Understanding the spatial distribution of salts within the monument is crucial for devising targeted conservation strategies. Additionally, the model aids in identifying vulnerable structural elements, such as eroded surfaces and unstable sections, which can inform preservation decisions [10].…”

“…Furthermore, the primary objectives of this research are to develop and demonstrate a methodology for heritage building information modelling (HBIM) that can be broadly applied to the documentation and preservation of cultural heritage architecture [9][10][11][12], to use Ad Deir as a case model, depicted in Figure 3, to illustrate how HBIM can enhance architectural documentation, structural analysis, virtual restoration, and long-term environmental impact modelling, and to facilitate collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, including architects, historians, archaeologists, and engineers, by utilizing HBIM for effective preservation and restoration projects. The process leading to these objectives begins with background research and literature review, analysing existing digital documentation methods and previous studies on Ad Deir and other heritage sites.…”

O HBIM na gestão de bens culturais

“…O modelo HBIM, conforme delineado por diversos estudos (Historic England, 2017;Carvalho, 2016;Inzerillo et al, 2016;Brunet et al, 2018;Castellano-Román;Pinto-Puerto, 2019;Celli;Ottoni, 2023), se destaca como uma eficaz ferramenta na gestão O&M de bens culturais, apresentando um leque de funcionalidades direcionadas aos projetos de conservação e administração.…”

“…Os modelos HBIM atuam como um eficaz acervo documental, associando informações a elementos construtivos específicos. Isso exige um entendimento abrangente do patrimônio cultural, desde suas diversas fases de vida até seu estado atual Codinho;Salgado, 2022;Celli;Ottoni, 2023). Isso facilita a coleta de dados heterogêneos, abrangendo registros históricos de construção, de manutenção, até características funcionais, estruturais e materiais das edificações e de seus elementos individuais (Castellano-Román;Pinto-Puerto, 2019;Celli;Ottoni, 2023).…”
