Project description
Digitisation of architecture to support architectural heritage archiving
Building information modelling (BIM) is widely used by modern-day architects and engineers to create and manage information about a building or built asset in digital format. Implementing such modelling from the design phase is relatively straightforward. Applying BIM to architectural heritage is significantly more challenging, and currently there are no standard digital representations of the plethora of architectural styles to enable replicability and collaboration. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the PROMETHEUS project is developing an information/cognitive 3D system for digitisation of architecture as a first step towards BIM of European cultural heritage.
Objective
PROMETHEUS objective is to implement an interdisciplinary action for the documentation and structuring of information about architectural heritage, boosting the training of researchers on the constructive and historical value of Cultural Heritage Routes. The research will develop innovative methodologies of digitisation of architecture with the integration of multidisciplinary data and Information Models, leading to specialised figures able to operate on heritage built assets. The definition of a “charta”, for the replicability of action, will be pursued with a practical action on the monuments present in three cultural heritage routes as pilot case of study.
The network of researchers from different sectors involved in the action favours/supports the cultural and thematic widening necessary to develop and show the skills that the market requires. The Italian expertise in digital survey of architectural heritage, the Spanish knowledge on building technology and census archives related to architecture, together with the historical and territorial planning knowledge provided by the Polish partner, will allow researchers to deal with professional companies that operate in the intervention fields of restoration projects and BIM Management.
The research project will develop an information/cognitive 3D system, multidisciplinary and implementable, that represents the preparatory step for to the management, maintenance and valorisation of Cultural Heritage Routes over European committees and administrations. The system, in order to be widely applicable, will be Low cost and easy to replicate, and it will optimize an innovative channel of cooperation between researcher and professionals though the use of BIM Collaborative Protocols. Participants will exchange skills and knowledge that will allow them to progress in new methods of documentation and conservation, to strengthen collaborative research and to widen their career perspectives in European Heritage Preservation.
