Hbim for the Surveying, Analysis and Restoration of the Saint John the Theologian Cathedral in Nicosia (Cyprus)

Abstract

The present study illustrates the results of an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Mediterranean Laboratory of Survey and Diagnostics for Architecture (RDA) of the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAR) of the University of Catania in Italy and the Andreas Pittas Laboratories for Art Characterisation (APAC) of the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC) of the Cyprus Institute in Cyprus. The research focused on the application of an H-BIM approach in the study of a Mediterranean iconic heritage asset, the St. John Cathedral of Nicosia, built in 1662 on the remains of a monastery from the 15 th century. The adopted methodology has provided the framework for a dynamic investigation, constantly evolving along several dimensions: historical, geometric spatial, architectural-constructive identification and mapping of degrade, interpretation of degenerative causes and design proposals.

Condition Assessment of Heritage Buildings via Photogrammetry: A Scoping Review from the Perspective of Decision Makers

“…Notwithstanding, in several cases, photogrammetric surveys allow for the integration, interpretation and analysis of qualitative and quantitative information about the state of conservation. For example, Santagati et al (2019) propose a workflow where 2D decay maps deriving from photogrammetric images are transformed into measurable parametric surfaces, within the HBIM environment [118]. HBIM also provides a framework and a tool supporting rapid seismic vulnerability assessment, always starting from a Structurefrom-Motion survey, from which constructive characteristics, materials and conservation conditions have been determined [119][120][121].…”

Analysis and management of structural deformations through parametric models and HBIM workflow in architectural heritage

“…Using complex geometries implies recording the characteristics of the historical architecture. In this regard, the Dynamo© script can also turn the area into a programmed parameter [26] that reflects the mapping of the surface degradation in a 3D model, semantically enriched and supported by the MySQL database [27]. The Dynamo© plugin allows the advanced treatment of the information of the model.…”

Memoria e modello digitale. La costruzione di un sistema informativo per la salvaguardia del patrimonio architettonico diffuso dell’Upper Kama

“…Criteri di modellazione condivisa: dal modello territoriale al modello di rappresentazione del monumento L'applicazione dell'approccio metodologico dell'Information Modeling al settore Cultural Heritage apre un potenziale ventaglio di applicazioni, dando la possibilità di trasmissione di differenti quantità di dati e la possibilità di gestione grazie all'integrazione di dati da una scala territoriale a quella del singolo edificio, estendendosi dall'ambito dell'analisi architettonica a quello della progettazione e programmazione urbana, territoriale. La metodologia adottata dal gruppo di ricerca è volta alla strutturazione di un modello informativo risultato dei dati del rilievo digitale 3D per la descrizione geometrica spaziale, e dall'altro possa essere implementato dei dati relativi al rilievo conoscitivo analitico e delle indagini diagnostiche raccolte all'interno delle schede censuarie (Santagati et al, 2019) (fig. 14).…”
