Abstract
Abstract. The present paper illustrates the survey and documentation activities for the 3D city modelling and visualisation carried out since 2016 on complex monumental buildings of the city of São Paulo in Brazil by the DIAPReM research centre and the TekneHub Laboratory of the University of Ferrara in collaboration with FAU-USP Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo of Universidade de São San Paolo and funded by the Fundação de Apoio à Universidade de São Paulo- FUSP for the definition of interdisciplinary collaboration protocols and the development of integrated digital databases of Brazilian cultural heritage. Starting from a wider joint international research collaboration dated more than five years ago, the project aims to define interdisciplinary protocols for the digital documentation of built heritage in order to support the knowledge, restoration, maintenance, management and enhancement of Museu do Ipiranga - USP involving both academic and research competencies, as well as professional and technical skills. The definition of the first integrated digital database of the Museu do Ipiranga took into account the documentation needs of complex architecture for restoration and the project for new accessibility and the extension of the Museum itself and a wider digitisation project for urban planning as well as new Smart Cultural Heritage accessibility.
Highlights
The recent world pandemic emergency has further highlighted the fragility of the world's tangible and intangible cultural heritage, increasing the need to implement knowledge sharing and awareness and understanding of the importance of the protection and enhancement of built heritage (ICCROM, 2013)
The intervention process is marked by discontinuity and lack of information relating to the current state of built heritage, the duplication of data, poor accessibility (Parrinello, 2019) and usability (Ramos, 2015) of information, characteristics which, despite improved digitization processes, offer an interesting field for the application of exceptional ICT and Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) in order to support knowledge accessibility and semantic modelling from a Smart City management viewpoint
On one hand the uniqueness and variety of cultural heritage hinders the definition of a single method for knowledge and documentation, but at the same time it is becoming increasingly urgent to have real time sharing of an integrated information system that allows the specific features of an individual context to be overcome and the complex knowledge, management and promotion of the world’s cultural heritage to be made effective (Jokilehto, 1998)
Summary
The recent world pandemic emergency has further highlighted the fragility of the world's tangible and intangible cultural heritage, increasing the need to implement knowledge sharing and awareness and understanding of the importance of the protection and enhancement of built heritage (ICCROM, 2013). The paper aims to illustrate the impact of Smart City and Smart Object approaches on decision-making processes and urban planning (Angelidoua, 2017) with reference to a prime example of Brazilian cultural heritage, which is the result of an ongoing international cooperation between the University of Ferrara and the University of San Paolo USP which began over five years ago. From this perspective, the issue of “Smart City” and Smart Cultural Heritage refers to the social impact and inclusiveness of the intervention on built heritage as
