The article deals with the definition and evaluation of a workflow to demonstrate that the parametric model of a historic building with a high level of digital maturity can be configured as a tool ...that fosters collaboration between the various professionals involved in the recovery and rehabilitation process of historic buildings. It also represents the starting point for developing structural models for quantitative analyses. The implementation of HBIM to the building aggregate called “La Giudea” in Santo Stefano di Sessanio (AQ), an artefact that is particularly representative of the historical building heritage of the small medieval village in the Abruzzo Inner Areas, has provided a model for managing the information deriving from the knowledge process. The model delivers to the use of the state of conservation, and it represents the base for the structural analysis of the asset and the identification of the measure and interventions for its preservation. The parametric model was developed in the design of strengthening and restoration works requiring interactions between digital environments. In such a framework, an investigation aimed at evaluating the interoperability of the digital model and particularly the vertical interoperability between different software packages has been explored.
3D point cloud data from data acquisition techniques such as terrestrial photogrammetry, close range photogrammetry (CRP) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) play a major role in heritage because ...of the large amount of information they provide. This data includes the metric accuracy of the objects surface, reflectivity information and materials texture. The point clouds can be exported to Building Information Models (BIM) to simplify the 3D modelling processes, thus becoming part of the restoration and reconstruction project. Currently, most scientific works in the field implement insertion procedures of point clouds into BIM, whose interoperability should be analysed in order to reveal its usefulness in heritage buildings modelling. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the integration of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Structure-from-Motion/Multi-View Stereo (SfM/MVS) data into HBIM. Despite having been investigated, this field lacks a methodological structure regarding the integration of point cloud data into HBIM.
The article discusses the upsizing of estate houses in Yekaterinburg in the 19th – early 20th century. The reasons for such upsizing are described, and the upsizing mechanism (reconstruction) is ...analyzed. An attempt is made to classify reconstructed buildings. The article may be of interest to students (study program – restoration and reconstruction of architectural heritage), restoration architects, art historians, heritage conservation, preservation and popularization specialists, and historical and cultural heritage assessment experts.
The article considers issues in the conservation of the architectural heritage of the Ussuri railroad (the historical name of the line from Vladivostok to Khabarovsk). The study is a part of a large ...research project on the architectural image of the homeland and, specifically, the image of the homeland in the Far East. Spassk-Dalniy has preserved wooden residential buildings and a few stone buildings. Overall, the area around the railway station has not changed much since the line was built. The main part of the article discusses a project proposal to renovate the environment of this area with possible prospects for including it in the tourist railway routes. The design solution proposed is a result of six months work. The main provisions of the concept were derived in the course of the on-site studies and surveys conducted in 2021 and 2022. Russian and foreign experiences in the renovation of industrial and railway heritage sites are reviewed. A brief historical overview of the station area is provided.

Aerogels are open-porous, high-performance thermal insulation materials that can be used for very thin building insulation. So far, the application conditions of these materials and their potential in heritage buildings have not yet been described comprehensively. This review shows the technical properties of commercially available aerogel materials – such as blankets, boards and renders – and their use scenarios in heritage buildings, taking into account the heritage criteria of authenticity, integrity, reversibility and compatibility. Additionally, historic buildings that were refurbished using aerogels are presented. The study by theoretical evaluations and calculated U-values indicates that superinsulating aerogel materials have an exceptional potential in the refurbishment of heritage buildings. The presented examples show the feasibility of refurbishments with aerogel and the resulting improvements in terms of both comfort and thermal properties. Hence, aerogel materials are well suited to be used in preservation of heritage objects according to generally known rules and conditions of heritage preservation, thus contributing to the reduction of energy consumption in the building sector.
During the civil war, a large number of anti-aircraft shelters were built in Castellón de la Plana. At present, the outer part of most of them has disappeared due to the abandonment suffered after ...the end of the war and the inexorable urban growth, so its underground galleries have remained hidden below the city.
The objective of our research work has been to recover these constructions from oblivion as well as make easier the conservation and enhancement of this architectural heritage of the city. To achieve this, to collect the existing information about the shelters has been essential, which was obtained mostly from the Municipal Historical Archive of Castellón. This documentation has been digitized and processed to be used for the development of a new editable graphic documentation of each of the shelters which, together with the surveys of those that are still preserved and accessible, is part of the information to be added to the cadastral cartography of the city by the use of Geographic Information Systems. In this way, together with the geolocation of the site of the different shelters, you can consult all the information of each of them, from the original project to its current state, in those which are accessible.
Therefore, the results achieved, that are by themselves an unpublished documentation of this part of the heritage of Castellón, are presented in an easy-to-consult format that allows improving access to them for future research, as well as to be used as an useful tool in city planning.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.30.2023.21
This paper discusses the long-term vision of the historic city development, where buildings assume a new function over time. The discussion is based on the example of Palazzo Querini Stampalia and ...Fondaco dei Tedeschi – two monuments restored to Venice in a new, different role. In the comparative analysis of the transformation of the buildings, particular attention was paid to the cultural, social and economic context of the city. This article aims to review the strengths and weaknesses of the new-use scenarios, outlining the renovation of the monuments and its added value for cities. The author concluded that no matter what the new function of the building is, it is worth renovating them, because this way the heritage can survive and this should be the central objective of a long-term vision.
Vietnam is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in East Asia. According to September 2022 data, the national urbanization rate has reached about 41.5%, with 888 urban areas 1. Along with that, ...real estate prices skyrocketed. As of 2020, the average housing price in the place of the lowest increase is also 3 times higher than in 2011 2. Rapid urbanization and rising property prices are two of the many factors that contribute to the difficulty of preserving urban architectural heritage. Owners when faced with the choice of preserving their heritage or “converting the estate” into real estate for sale often lean towards the latter. This theoretical paper aims to test the hypothesis about the first option - conservation of heritage whether there are long-term benefits for the owners as well as the community and society. The study is based on the analysis of changes in the value of urban architectural heritage and real estate over time. Combined with lessons learned on how to deal with heritage from cities around the world, the study raises the view that Urban Architectural Heritage is a form of long-term net-earning asset, not quick-profit Real Estate. The study also emphasizes the factors that create urban identity such as long-standing traditions and differences in urban architecture, which play a key role in helping to reverse the trend of globalization, which is a hot issue of many present urban.
