“…The collaboration between public and private subjects shows that, if certain conditions arise, it becomes a useful tool for the efficiency of the recovery and reuse process given the potentiality of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) [66]. However, public institutions should accompany the development of project proposals, in order to avoid the implementation of policies contrary to a sustainable transformation process [13].…”

“…Most commonly, as emphasized by the scientific community, re-evaluating an architectural asset through its physical and functional enhancement is to be considered a proper choice in terms of sustainable recovery [13]. For example, within the Italian context, there exists a Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape by which the government promotes the development of culture, scientific, and technical research; the protection of the landscape; and historical and artistic heritage [14,15].…”

The regeneration and reuse of abandoned healthcare facilities represent one of the most complex issues in the broader field of disused public architectural heritage and its valorization. The leading causes of an elevated quantity of abandoned hospitals are the lack of resilience of these structures, as well as the evolution of the regulatory framework used to increase the quality standards of the National Health System and the constant changes caused by medical discoveries. In addition, the transfer to a new building typically does not involve consideration of the future of the dismissed facility with a lack of a strategic view for its regeneration, thus causing its progressive degradation. Although their large dimensions and unbuilt areas make recovery plans complex, the re-functionalization of these facilities represents an excellent opportunity for social and economic development, as several case studies demonstrate. This paper selects some useful examples of the reconversion and reuse of disused social and healthcare buildings through an accurate comparison that highlights the importance of the topic and the possible actions to be taken into consideration. Although this research focuses on a limited number of case studies, the paper gives rise to some strategies that can be applied to several current cases of disused buildings that could be used to support Decision Makers (DMs) from different countries.

“…The complexity of cultural heritage arises mainly from its existence over time, rather than its ability to exist exclusively in a historical phase that is often mistakenly assumed to coincide with the date of its construction (Ferlenga et al, 2008). The practical implications of these theoretical achievements can be traced in the shift from a project-oriented to a process-oriented vision in heritage conservation, as well as from an approach that remedies damages to one that minimizes the risk of damage as much as possible (Vandesande et al, 2018). Managing the 'system-object' relationship and interaction is crucial, especially in the case of open-air historical architectures, such as archaeological sites, both ancient and modern.…”

Abstract. Digital technologies enable a thorough analysis of Architectural Heritage, offering various representations that provide different levels of documentation and knowledge-based conservation tools. This paper presents a methodological approach that leverages three digital representations related to three levels of documentation: Virtual Tour Informational Modelling, Point Cloud Informational Modelling, and Historical Building Information Modelling. Their characteristics and potential are compared, focusing on the effectiveness in supporting the analysis process, and the management of future conservation works. Furthermore, the dichotomy between 2D and 3D representations of AH is tackled, emphasizing the need to align with the conservation strategies, timeline, and budget constraints. It also discusses the integration of heterogeneous data and various digital representations to address the challenges in AH preventive conservation and management, resulting in the proposal of a sustainable documentation workflow to support the conservation process.

“…The growing scope of Cultural Heritage [5] has led international institutions and organisations in the field to review the principles guiding its conservation and to develop new recommendations accordingly [2]. In fact, as shown by the establishment of the PRECOM 3 OS chair in 2009 [6,7], awareness has been progressively raised among professionals and experts in the field about the need to shift from a curative towards a more preventive approach to better retain the cultural significance of Heritage assets [7,8]. As argued by Van Balen [9], the application of preventive conservation principles, essentially based on regular monitoring and maintenance work, allows better preservation of the immovable heritage and a reduction of the costs linked to conservation activities.…”

Preventive strategies for the conservation of heritage sites have gradually been preferred to curative approaches because of their ability to maintain their significance. Furthermore, most experts now agree that conservation management of heritage places based on a common understanding of their cultural values is essential to address all the particularities of their contexts. Recently, significant research has demonstrated the potential of Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) for the collaborative data management in conjunction with conservation projects. The recent development of HBIM web platforms illustrates the value of strengthening the link between the digital model and the physical realm of heritage assets. This paper advocates the application of Digital Twin’s (DT) principles, using HBIM models as a digital replica, to support the preventive conservation of heritage places. Based on an extensive literature review, a comprehensive framework that integrates the DT into the management plan process for the preventive conservation of built heritage is proposed. Several recommendations for its implementation are finally discussed, such as the identification of tangible features of significance, the threats associated with their integrity and the corresponding mitigation strategies, with particular emphasis on the value assessment process. The result is a data model for structuring information on preventive conservation strategies. This framework provides the basis for future implementation and demonstrates the need for a DT approach in this context.
