ADAPTING THE TOOL: A HISTORIC BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL (HBIM) OF SENHORA DA PIEDADE DA CAPARICA

2020

Once a place of silence and solitary contemplation for a group of Franciscan friars known as Capuchos, Nossa Senhora da Piedade da Caparica (1558) today is in a state of confusion about the original configuration of its spaces. Following a major renovation project in the 1950s and a lack of documentation throughout its life, the convent seeks to better understand its past and its continued role within the municipality of Almada. Since no record drawings or descriptions of the building exist prior to the renovation, an interdisciplinary, mixed-methodological research approach was taken to generate a HBIM reconstruction of the convent. The HBIM will serve as a record of the building's modifications across time as well as an as-found record of the building to date for use into the future. This paper focuses on one aspect of this overall research project by presenting the modelling methods used to overcome the limitations of BIM software (Revit 2020) for heritage. Since the software was designed to facilitate the construction of new buildings, a high level of effort is needed to adapt the tool to fit the irregularities and asymmetries of heritage. Focusing on the ornate 17 th century facade-subjected to years of weathering and renovation campaigns-along with the entranceway and choir of the church, this paper addresses techniques for modelling a range of conditions typical to those found in heritage in Portugal. The paper will address methods for modelling irregular geometries such as wall deviations, arched ceilings, inconstancies in wall profiles and methods for modelling custom window families from point cloud data.

A Review of Heritage Building Information Modeling (H-BIM)

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction

Many projects concerning the protection, conservation, restoration, and dissemination of cultural heritage are being carried out around the world due to its growing interest as a driving force of socioeconomic development. The existence of reliable, digital three-dimensional (3D) models that allow for the planning and management of these projects in a remote and decentralized way is currently a growing necessity. There are many software tools to perform the modeling and complete three-dimensional documentation of the intervened monuments. However, the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector has adopted the Building Information Modeling (BIM) standard over the last few decades due to the progress that has been made in its qualities and capabilities. The complex modeling of cultural heritage through commercial BIM software leads to the consideration of the concept of Heritage BIM (H-BIM), which pursues the modeling of architectural elements, according to artistic, historical, and constructive typologies. In addition, H-BIM is considered to be an emerging technology that enables us to understand, document, advertize, and virtually reconstruct the built heritage. This article is a review of the existing literature on H-BIM and its effective implementation in the cultural heritage sector, exploring the effectiveness and the usefulness of the different methodologies that were developed to model families of elements of interest.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING AND HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION

Despite the widespread adoption of building information modelling (BIM) for the design and lifecycle management of new buildings, very little research has been undertaken to explore the value of BIM in the management of heritage buildings and cultural landscapes. To that end, we are investigating the construction of BIMs that incorporate both quantitative assets (intelligent objects, performance data) and qualitative assets (historic photographs, oral histories, music). Further, our models leverage the capabilities of BIM software to provide a navigable timeline that chronicles tangible and intangible changes in the past and projections into the future. In this paper, we discuss three projects undertaken by the authors that explore an expanded role for BIM in the documentation and conservation of architectural heritage. The projects range in scale and complexity and include: a cluster of three, 19th century heritage buildings in the urban core of Toronto, Canada; a 600 hectare village in rural, south-eastern Ontario with significant modern heritage value, and a proposed web-centered BIM database for materials and methods of construction specific to heritage conservation.

An introduction to technological tools and process of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM)

EGE-Expresión Gráfica en la Edificación

Heritage Building Information Modelling (or HBIM) is a multi-disciplinary process and a promising tool for the management and documentation of heritage structures. HBIM can record the significant historic events that have taken place in the built environment and is used to track the aging process of the built asset. However, the digital re-construction procedures for HBIM development associated with historic buildings are very challenging: the objects of the historic models consist of components whose heterogeneous, complex, and irregular characteristics and morphologies are not represented in the existing BIM software libraries. Unlike conventional BIM workflows for new constructions, the tried and tested tools and methods must be adapted, and even reinvented, for HBIM applications. This article introduces the basic concept of HBIM, a set of technological tools of data capture for HBIM model development, and a feasible HBIM workflow.

Historic Building Information Modeling: from historical database platform to fully suitable and multidisciplinary design instruments

Historic Building Information Modeling: from historical database platform to fully suitable and multidisciplinary design instruments. In: XIV Forum Internazionale di Studi - Le vie dei Mercanti., 2016

The aim of the research intends to provide innovative solutions to the more and more hard challenge of organizing in a virtuous manner the information concerning the architecture patrimony: the realization of complex parametric models could guarantee a formal, architectural and relational coherence, inside a shared virtual system. The HBIM (Historical Building Information Modeling) represent virtual models for cultural assets, essential supports to archive, compare, manage and design heterogeneous data that constitute the building: its analysis give the possibility to interpret it in a sort of "as-is" model, made by deductions coming from information derived by archivist, geometrical and topology data contained into the virtual model. The report will focus particularly on the case study of the V Pavillion made by Riccardo Morandi nearby the Torino Esposizioni exhibition building cluster: built using the pre-stressed technology on concrete lowered arcs, it passed very fast from being an iconic building of the excellent Italian engineering school of the postwar period, to a debatable and malfunctioning municipal garage. For this reason the virtual model could be helpful to collect on one side a fully shared information database capable to transfer all the historical path of the building, and on the other the efficient and multidisciplinary instruments supporting future design interventions on the next period. .

Analysis of BIM Methodology Applied to Practical Cases in the Preservation of Heritage Buildings

Sustainability, 2021

The methodology and technology associated with building information modeling (BIM) provide architects, engineers, and historians with concepts and tools that support the development of heritage projects. However, this specific form of BIM orientated towards buildings of patrimonial value—known as historic building information modeling (HBIM)—requires a distinct and additional view, accounting for aspects which are normally not attended to on projects involving new buildings. In an HBIM context, the parametric modeling process, the basis of any BIM procedure, involves the study of shapes, patterns, or standards for the establishment of particular collections of parametric objects, as well as the record of the available technology used to capture digital geometric data. In addition, all the information collected and generated through an HBIM process must be adequately managed, maintained, and archived. In the present study, we intend to list the most recent features of HBIM, based on ...

The approach to BIM - Building Information Modelling as excellent instrument for the definition of design strategies and for knowledge, simulation and management of the buildings and architectural heritage.

International Journal of Sistems, Applications, Engineering & Devolpment, , 2014

As regards architectural heritages, especially in historic cities, the level of knowledge becomes directly proportional to the possibility of management. The qualitatively larger and better capacity for acquisition of an in-depth cognitive structure, the easier and more efficient the possibility of better management of the architectural and historical asset. The affirmation, even in the recent past, of new methodologies and cognitive and elaborative technologies, involving the natural and artificial environment has also involved areas typical of architecture by evolving traditional systems and methods of representation. When applied to the conservation, valorisation and management of the architectural heritage, especially in historic cities, the simultaneous evolution of these knowledge and technologies simulation helped evolve the discipline of representation towards a broader interdisciplinary direction, establishing a relational system of methods and leading and information that precede and complete the knowledge-analysis-design process.

From survey to HBIM for documentation, dissemination and management of built heritage

The research presented here is the result of two related theses, carried out in collaboration between PoliMi, (Italy) and NTUA, (Greece). Part of it is carried out within the INTERREG EU project framework, which aims to the valuation and dissemination of the role of the Church of S.Maria di Scaria (Vall' Intelvi) in the international European exchange of skills in the past centuries. It mainly focuses on the Carloni's intervention (XVIII century), a local family of craftsmen, famous across many European cities and regions for the construction of monuments with rich decorations. In this way they managed to send holy gifts and money, but also offered their skills in order to enrich the church of Scaria as a symbol of their success. The laser scanning and photogrammetric surveys have been carried out with the on-site stratigraphic analysis and with the quest for the scarcely available historical documents, in an attempt to study the reconstruction and the main transformations and chronological phases, from the Romanic to the Baroque interventions and to the more recent ones: An integrated BIM approach has been chosen as an experimental way of transmitting a piece of the history of the church life to the local people and also for touristic purposes. In order to disseminate the information on the transformations of the building and on the various decorations in a way that would facilitate the readability and interpretation of the monument by the visitors, a little local museum, co-funded by the EU Interreg programme, is planned to be realized mainly containing the exhibition of the collections of the sacred vessels and furnishings donated to the church in the past. To enhance this aim a 3D object modeling will also be exposed in the multimedia section of the museum. A Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) has been developed, while investigating the potential of an object library specially generated to illustrate the various structural elements, the multiple construction technologies for the walls, the vault system, the roof etc., and the decorative layers (frescos, stuccos and frames), along with the critical aspects faced by standard BIM in a complex geometry shift from Surface approach to Object modeling. The research contributes to the explanation of the sequence and construction technologies adopted for the vault system, the first two vaults of the nave (their interesting texturing and the particular geometry registered by laser scanning related to the hypothesized centering), with respect to the vault covering the altar and the apse. The HBIM approach development is analyzed to help the generation of a vocabulary and an abacus of elements to be geographically referenced across Europe to disseminate typical construction elements and skills.

Review of built heritage modelling: Integration of HBIM and other information techniques

Journal of Cultural Heritage, 2020

Built heritage documentation involves the 3D modelling of the geometry (typically using 3D computer graphics, photogrammetry and laser scanning techniques) and information management of semantic knowledge (i.e., using Geographic Information System (GIS) and ontology tools). The recent developed Building Information Modelling (BIM) technique combines 3D modelling and information management. One of its modern application is heritage documentation and has generated a new concept of Historic/Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM). This paper summarises the applications of these information techniques on the built heritage documentation. We utilise Web of Science Collection to monitor the publications on built heritage documentation. We analyse the research trend in heritage modelling by comparing the attention paid by researchers before and during the 2010s. The results show that photogrammetry is always the most popular method in heritage modelling. More and more works in heritage modelling have begun to use laser scanning, computer science, GIS and especially BIM techniques. Ontologies and 3D computer graphics are traditional ways for heritage documentation. Moreover, we pay attention to the roles of BIM on heritage documentation and conduct a detailed discussion on how to extend the HBIM capabilities by integrating with other techniques. The integration provides possible enhanced functions in HBIM, including accurate parametric modelling from computer graphics, automatic semantic segmentation of 3D point cloud from reality-based modelling, spatial information management and analysis by GIS, and knowledge modelling by ontology.
