Developing a heritage BIM shared library for two case studies in Jordan’s heritage: The House of Art in Amman and the Qaqish House in the World Heritage City of As-Salt

A groundbreaking heritage BIM (Building Information Modeling) shared library has been developed for Jordan's architectural heritage, addressing the gap in adopting advanced digital technologies for conservation. This open-access resource, the first of its kind, consolidates parametric families representing unique and complex elements of Jordanian and Arabic architecture, specifically through case studies of The House of Art in Amman and the Qaqish House in As-Salt. The library aims to set a precedent for documenting and conserving heritage in traditional cities, fostering social cohesion, economic development, tourism, and cultural awareness. Co-production with diverse stakeholders was central to its methodology, ensuring inclusive collaboration that bridges gaps between technology and heritage conservation.
