“…Differential settlements occurred due to excessive surcharges by adaptations in the 16th centuries and the location originally being a swamp. In 1963, the church was closed for public access because of safety precautions (Smars et al, 2006, Schueremans et al, 2007. In order to The 3D model provides the opportunity to calculate the transformation parameters between the two surfaces B and B', which is useful for the new design, adapted to the current situation.…”

“…Typical for the Gothic style of the Saint-James church is the presence of flying buttresses. These elements were added to the church between 1534 and 1535 (Schueremans et al, 2007). Due to differential settlements, the stability of the flying buttresses was severely endangered.…”

“…The unstable underground of the church in combination with extra loads induced by heightening the original construction, aggravated the differential settlements even further up until recently. Shortly after closing the church for public access in 1963 for safety reasons, the masonry rib vaults were dismantled in the period of 1965-1971(Schueremans et al, 2007.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Remote sensing techniques are invaluable for the documentation and preservation of built heritage. The techniques facilitate fast documentation of highly complex heritage structures with improved accuracies. Furthermore they improve the degree of detail substantially. This is extremely useful for the restoration of collapsed elements or the reassembly of dismantled structures. These entities are often challenging to puzzle back together. Moreover, the differential settlements of the elements over time heavily influence the relative position and orientation of the remaining pieces, further complicating the reconstruction. Digital modelling solutions with a 3D model of the current situation as take-off, are desperately needed by the industry to tackle the present obstacles. In this work, a framework is proposed that facilitates a more accurate reassembly of dismantled heritage elements. It consists of three major phases starting with the accurate recording of the current situation as well as the preserved components. Subsequently, the new design is dititally modelled, reducing the necessary time for the reassembly of the structure, which is the last step in the rebuilding workflow. The presented framework allows for an efficient and comprehensible reconstruction of the structure. A key aspect in the approach is the detection of missing components and the estimation of their dimensions for the production of accurate replicas. The potential is showcased by means of two case studies on the reassembly of flying buttresses and rib vaults of the Saint-James church in Leuven, Belgium, which is currently undergoing major stabilisation works. The presented approach allows heritage experts to gain better oversight over their reassembly project and work more efficiently.</p>

“…These levels are finite horizontal planes that constitute a reference for determining the vertical distances between one point and another. Following the constructive logic of the abovementioned architectural period, and according to (Schueremans et al, 2007), the levels will be placed on the basis of the materials that were used, these materials being the masonry or ashlar stone that are styled, parallelepipedic blocks. The approximate size of the stones may range from 40 to 200 cm in length, 30 to 60 cm in height and 4.5 to 35 cm in thickness (Fig.…”

In this paper, a new approach for the virtual modeling and reconstruction of Architectural Heritage is presented. The graphic and semantic information required to determine the conservation status of the analyzed buildings, obtained from point clouds and historical and bibliographical data, are combined. The modeled components are used to create a library of parametric elements under the concept of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM). This represents a solution for the 3D modeling of a wide range of buildings in the same style, due to the flexibility of the modeled elements which can change in shape and proportions, thus adapting to new requirements. Moreover, technical documentation and quantitative and qualitative information can be produced, allowing detailed analysis in a remote and multidisciplinary way within the general framework of "Smart heritage".

“…Siguiendo la lógica constructiva de los períodos arquitectónicos antes mencionados, y de acuerdo con (Schueremans et al, 2007;Muñoz & Poza, 2011), generalmente los niveles se trazan sobre la base de los materiales que se utilizaron para la construcción. En nuestros casos de estudio, la piedra de sillar representada como bloques paralelepípedos representa al material de construcción.…”
