Abstract

H-BIM App intends to analyse the potentialities and critical aspects resulting from the integration of BIM systems in the processes of documentation, knowledge, communication and management of the Built Cultural Heritage (BCH). It deals with the conceptual extension of "virtual model" triggered by BIM approach and its possibilities of stratifying knowledge.
The potential of BCH-oriented BIM systems (the so-called Heritage-BIM or H-BIM) is undeniable. However, there remain operational and theoretical issues related to the unresolved aporia between the rigidity of modelling tools and the high flexibility needed when BCH elements are involved.
This line of research has been incorporated in the wider context of the H2020 CHAREMI proposal (Cultural Heritage Adaptive Re-use Models for Innovation) submitted within the SC5-22-2017 Call. The aim of CHAREMI was to suggest better integrated strategies for the preservation and valorisation of BCH considering its adaptive re-use as a way for securing its sustainability. Although the focus of the call (and thus of the proposal) was to outline actions intended mainly as economic drivers, a significant role was reserved to "knowledge" (as a means for value assessment of BCH tangible and intangible aspects) and to structuring a suitable digital environment for data storing, modelling, managing and querying.
In this framework, CHAREMI had identified the BIM as a very promising technology to respond to such issues provided it would better address the specific problems connected with BCH. The simple fact that BCH is composed of existing artefacts changes in fact radically the theoretical and operational perspective of conventional BIM and actually represents the reason for adding an "H" before the BIM acronym.
H-BIM App proposal will thus deal with this problem considering a number of case studies spanning from XX century architecture to archaeological edifices as well as from monuments to conventional buildings.
