Project description
Digital technology for cultural heritage routes management
The increasing efforts toward a green transition and new construction and infrastructure projects are encountering issues due to encroachment on cultural heritage routes (CHRs) across Europe. This encroachment leads to problems with CHR maintenance, planning, and management. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the HEPHAESTUS project aims to develop innovative digital information models and 3D databases for CHRs throughout European border territories. The project will use the acquired data to enhance management and sustainable planning and to better maintain and manage European architectural heritage. It will focus on military architecture in Italy, Germany, Poland, and Croatia, using new digital technologies to understand its societal and geopolitical impacts.
Objective
HEPHAESTUS develops digital Information Models and reliable 3D Databases for Cultural Heritage Routes (CHRs) across European border territories, defining collaborative inter-sectoral protocols to enhance the architectural cultural heritage and improve sustainable planning and management processes. It bears on the physical materiality and critical role of fortifications and military architecture – as building complexes that usually embody the emblem of historical geopolitical and societal limits – to turn them into digital systems that unify administrative models across European borders. Military architecture’s paradigms transcend regional characterisations and are based on models that coexist in different countries, lending themselves to generating management systems that overcome borders.
HEPHAESTUS brings together historians, surveyors, 3D modelling experts, software developers, and urban planners in a partnership of universities, research centres, small and medium-sized enterprises, and cultural institutes from Italy, Germany, Poland, and Croatia. The specific and complementary expertise of partners enables the structuring of a multiphase methodology that includes: Digital data acquisition, 3D semantic modelling, models and databases’ association, Digital Twins’ development, open data platforms’ development, and definition of standardised multiscale databases.
This project structures a novel way to investigate fortification CHRs according to a scientific model, promoting the digital transition and, on a European level, the development of a programmatic “Charta” of Documentation-for-Intervention, which can be applied on a broader scale. Through Digital Twins based on informative systems, HEPHAESTUS codifies a novel and cutting-edge representative language for the widespread heritage of CHRs. Moreover, it creates potential market opportunities for non-academic participants, thus bringing significant benefits also for European societies/cultures.
