B.I.M. Application in Documenting and Recreating Lost Architectural Heritage
Paola Casu (Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy) and Claudia Pisu (Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-0029-2.ch007
Abstract
The digital archiving process of complex historical architectural 3D models is a key point in the field of tangible cultural heritage. A lot of research focus on the definition of methodologies and tools that exploit the full potential of ICT applied to the documentation of cultural heritage. This chapter illustrates a part of a study in this line of investigation. It focuses on the use of BIM for the reconstruction of lost architectural heritage. BIM will be applied to virtual reconstruct the nineteenth-century covered food market of Cagliari that was demolished in 1957. Thanks to the properties of BIM to enter information related to each element constituting a building, every part of the model will be accompanied by information on the degree of reliability and references adopted for its creation. In this way, each family of elements could more easily and knowingly be reused for other similar projects.
