Develop conservation and reuse strategies based on data-driven insights.
The following video shows the field activities taking place during the workshop in ancient Poggioreale including the Survey Planning of Poggioreale (SLAM Survey), the Urban Analysis and the Field analysis of structural failures in relation to building types and construction techniques.
1.Workshop Introduction
This presentation is an introduction to the workshop highlighting the research carried out by the Built Heritage Innovation Lab (BHiLab) of the Instituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale (ISPC).
2.Building Information Modeling: Current development and challenges
This presentation introduces the current development and challenges of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the areas of interoperability and standardization.
3.Local construction techniques as a value of memory and practical suggestions for intervention
This presentation explains the short, mid and long term strategies for local construction techniques.
4.Systematic approach to data acquisition for the preservation of heritage buildings
This presentation investigates a systematic approach to data acquisition for the preservation of heritage buildings through: a) Analysis of the Built Environment to Heritage BIM, b) Survey for the Knowledge Process of Existing Masonry Structures, c) Geophysical Survey related to Masonry Structures.
5.Toward the implementation of the E-RIHS new platform "DIGILAB"
This presentation addresses the implementation of the E-RIHS new platform “DIGILAB” as a semantic hub for knowledge.
6.Scan-to-BIM process for the representation of constructive systems in historical buildings
This presentation investigates the Scan-to-BIM process for the representation of constructive systems in historical buildings through the methodology, the model uses and construction.
7.Semantic web approach for built heritage representation
This presentation examines a Semantic web approach for built heritage representation through OWL Ontologies and the case study of the Sanctuary of Hercules.
8.Unified workflows: Leveraging HBIM for Building Performance Simulation
This presentation addresses the need for unified workflows in BIM for Building Performance Simulation through Energy Performance Simulation, Guidelines, Data Exchange, Workflow and Interoperability Evaluation.
9.Parametric modelling for the quantitative study of microclimate of historical urban settings
This presentation examines parametric modelling for the quantitative study of microclimate of historical urban settings through the PROSIT project, the TECH-START project and the Chuandixia case study.
10.The HBIM for the safety and conservation of urban settlements
The presentation examines different methodologies of HBIM for the safety and conservation of urban settlements through the Vulnerability of urban systems, Minimal Urban Structure (SUM) and Limit Condition for the Emergence of settlements (CLE).
11.Energy and Environmental Analysis for Historical Buildings: Insights from MOLAB by E-RIHS
The presentation investigates the Energy and Environmental Analysis for Historical Buildings through the Simulation-Based Design and HBIM, the role of E-RIHS and the ENCIBCMED BEEP project with the case study of Palazzo Maffei Borghese in Rome.
12.From architectural data integration to digital twinning
This presentation investigates how architectural data are integrated into digital twinning, through multiscale observation (top-down), on-site participation (bottom-up) and (Virtual) on-site co-design (Urban Lab).
