HBIM for Conservation: A New Proposal for Information Modeling

A novel HBIM (Historical Building Information Modeling) methodology has been developed to streamline the documentation, management, and planned conservation of historic buildings, particularly focusing on non-geometric information. This approach addresses key limitations of traditional HBIM by simplifying 3D modeling requirements and providing a flexible, user-friendly system for storing, organizing, and sharing historical data. The system integrates a standalone database with BIM software, accessible via both a desktop application and a web interface, ensuring adaptability to diverse assets and ease of use for both skilled and unskilled users. Case studies involving the Cathedral of Parma and Ducal Palace of Mantua demonstrate the system's effectiveness in supporting conservation efforts.
