Explore Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) techniques for capturing non-standard heritage masonry, vaulted arches, and ornate facades into 3D digital twins.
Preserving Architectural Heritage with 3D Spatial Technology
Historic structures present unique architectural challenges for conservationists, heritage boards, and restoration architects. Unlike modern construction built with standardized right angles, historic monuments feature organic masonry, settled foundations, and complex ornamentation.
Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM)
HBIM extends standard Scan-to-BIM workflows by developing custom parametric BIM families capable of modeling non-standard historic elements. Digital Strada captures heritage sites with non-invasive 3D LiDAR and high-resolution photogrammetry, generating e57 point clouds accurate to within ±2mm.
Applications in Heritage Conservation
- Deformation & Subsidence Monitoring: Track structural movement over time across masonry walls and arches.
- Archival 3D Preservation: Digital archiving for UNESCO and national heritage registries against fire, natural disasters, or urban development.
- Restoration Planning: Precise 2D CAD elevations and 3D Revit models for stone carvers and historical restoration specialists.
