Abstract
Abstract. In Taiwan, numerous existing traditional buildings are constructed with wooden structures, brick structures, and stone structures. This paper will focus on the Taiwan traditional historic architecture and target the traditional wooden structure buildings as the design proposition and process the BIM workflow for modeling complex wooden combination geometry, integrating with more traditional 2D documents and for visualizing repair construction assumptions within the 3D model representation. The goal of this article is to explore the current problems to overcome in wooden historic building conservation, and introduce the BIM technology in the case of conserving, documenting, managing, and creating full engineering drawings and information for effectively support historic conservation. Although BIM is mostly oriented to current construction praxis, there have been some attempts to investigate its applicability in historic conservation projects. This article also illustrates the importance and advantages of using BIM workflow in repair construction process, when comparing with generic workflow.

As a result of the modifications of relevant regulations as well as the intervention of modern construction system, construction works rely on specialization and are no longer led by craftsmen while the craftsmanship that is based on craftsmen’s experience and memories is fading
Summary
In addition to cultural values, historic buildings mean a significant reference for designing new buildings. An appropriate restoration job at some point is needed for prolonging its life cycle. Regulations such as Cultural Heritage Preservation Act were made to ensure that preservation work of historic buildings is carried out prudently due to Taiwan's emphasis on cultural assets in recent years. The early techniques for restoring traditional buildings were mainly contributed by craftsmen while every job of design and construction was put together and executed by those craftsmen with different skills. 1.1 Change to the Participants of Restoration The construction and restoration works of traditional buildings in the early days of Taiwan were mainly designed and constructed by craftsmen.
