Abstract
Abstract. The theory of using Building Information Modelling "BIM" has been used in several Heritage places in the worldwide, in the case of conserving, documenting, managing, and creating full engineering drawings and information. However, one of the most serious issues that facing many experts in order to use the Historical Building Information Modelling "HBIM", is creating the complicated architectural elements of these Historical buildings. In fact, many of these outstanding architectural elements have been designed and created in the site to fit the exact location. Similarly, this issue has been faced the experts in Old Jeddah in order to use the BIM method for Old Jeddah historical Building. Moreover, The Saudi Arabian City has a long history as it contains large number of historic houses and buildings that were built since the 16th century. Furthermore, the BIM model of the historical building in Old Jeddah always take a lot of time, due to the unique of Hijazi architectural elements and no such elements library, which have been took a lot of time to be modelled. This paper will focus on building the Hijazi architectural elements library based on laser scanner and image survey data. This solution will reduce the time to complete the HBIM model and offering in depth and rich digital architectural elements library to be used in any heritage projects in Al-Balad district, Jeddah City.
Highlights
Jeddah City has a very long history dates back to more than 3000 years ago and the Old City contains a lot of historic buildings “around 350”, which have been built for more than 350 years ago with special characters that exhibit the very culture of the nation
The Aim of using JHBIM was to provide an interactive solution to move from the zero level of BIM “CAD and 2D drawings” to more advance levels of BIM “level 2 and level 3”, in case of supporting the protective preservation, sharing of the information of such historical buildings, together for expert users, societies and experts involved in decision making process (Eastman et al, 2011; Fussel et al, 2009)
The process is divided on three stages, first capturing data using of range/image-based approaches; second, data processing; defining and modelling the historic objects as parametric components using BIM system
Summary
1.3 Aims1.1 Old Jeddah BackgroundJeddah City has a very long history dates back to more than 3000 years ago and the Old City contains a lot of historic buildings “around 350”, which have been built for more than 350 years ago with special characters that exhibit the very culture of the nation. Jeddah is considered as the tourism and economic capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia(Telmesani et al, 2009). According to (Al-Fakahani, 2005) “Muslim and Arab writers noted that the name Jeddah is taken from the Arabic word for grandmother, while “Jed” means grandfather in Arabic”.
