Architecture responds to the social dynamics of uses, articulating the nature of the environment in which it is projected with the complex nature of human needs. In the present case, the culture handed down is based on the tectonic ingenuity and creativity of the designer who interprets and merges the concept of resistance (effective) with that of enveloping (affective) in the case study. The embrici we find on the domes of Vietri (Italy), or the architectural completion elements mentioned in this article, are examples that anticipate the adaptation of brickwork. The result is an unprecedented correlation between place, form, and material. This article describes the path from the survey of the Solimene façade to the governing of some acquired parameters. The pair of Vitruvian memory decor/distributio proposes a methodological approach for the geometric-compositional reconfiguration of the same typological family of brick infill walls. In continuity with the development of local tradition, the modification of the wall texture is managed to meet local needs and provide customised functional and aesthetic solutions.

“…Existing buildings, especially historical ones, involve knowledge not easy to codify in systems developed for today. So, it is not only information we are lacking, it is also decision-making and design tools (Durmišević 2018;Bianchini et al 2021).…”

From Building Information Modelling to Digital Twins: Digital Representation for a Circular Economy

Building information modelling (BIM) has ushered in the era of symbolic building representation: building elements and spaces are described not by graphical elements but by discrete symbols, each with properties and relations that explicitly integrate all information. Digital twinning promises even more: a digital replica in complete sync with the building and its behaviour. Such technologies have obvious appeal for circularity because they accommodate the rich information it requires and link circularity goals to other activities in AECO (architecture, engineering, construction and operation of buildings).Present implementations of BIM may fall short of the promise, and digital twinning may be hard to achieve, but they remain crucial not only for circularity but for all AECO disciplines. To realise the potential of such representations, information should be treated not as a product of integration but as the integrator of all activities. Similarly, digitalisation should be at the core of business models and deployment plans, not an additional or even optional layer at a high cost. This calls for a coherent approach that includes the full capture of building information, supports the detailed exploration of circular operations, uses the results to constrain decisions and actions and does so throughout the life cycle.

Digital Twin and Cloud BIM-XR Platform Development: From Scan-to-BIM-to-DT Process to a 4D Multi-User Live App to Improve Building Comfort, Efficiency and Costs

et al. 2022

Digital twins (DTs) and building information modelling (BIM) are proving to be valuable tools for managing the entire life cycle of a building (LCB), from the early design stages to management and maintenance over time. On the other hand, BIM platforms cannot manage the geometric complexities of existing buildings and the large amount of information that sensors can collect. For this reason, this research proposes a scan-to-BIM process capable of managing high levels of detail (LODs) and information (LOIs) during the design, construction site management, and construction phases. Specific grades of generation (GOGs) were applied to create as-found, as-designed, and as-built models that interact with and support the rehabilitation project of a multi-level residential building. Furthermore, thanks to the sharing of specific APIs (Revit and Autodesk Forge APIs), it was possible to switch from static representations to novel levels of interoperability and interactivity for the user and more advanced forms of building management such as a DT, a BIM cloud, and an extended reality (XR) web platform. Finally, the development of a live app shows how different types of users (professionals and non-expert) can interact with the DT, in order to know the characteristics with which the environments have been designed, as well as the environmental parameters, increasing their degree of control, from the point of view of improving comfort, use, costs, behaviour, and good practices. Finally, the overall approach was verified through a real case study where the BIM-XR platform was built for energy improvements to existing buildings and façade renovations.
