Abstract
Abstract. The experience described in this paper concerns a research activity carried out by a multidisciplinary team. The research is aimed to increase the in-depth knowledge of the castle of Fossa (L'Aquila), part of a small fortified medieval village, seriously damaged by the earthquake in 2009, and currently unusable due to partial collapses of some vertical structures, small portions of buildings and roofs. The investigative path planned by the team, composed of archaeologists, architects and engineers, started from the architectural survey (direct and indirect) of the artefact, from the collection and cataloguing of the published and archive documents, to arrive at an archaeological analysis of the structure and the creation of a parametric digital model of the object of the study with multiple levels of information. The aim of the research is the consideration of the asset in its entirety, that will be interpreted in its restoration project, in order to restore the correct and original architectural interpretations of its constructive style. The project has also presented the opportunity to experiment, in the form of a research laboratory, how well coordinated multidisciplinary contributions can achieve objectives of protection, conservation and use of the asset. In this regard, the HBIM model has constituted a tool for the convergence of the objectives, skills and the different viewpoints of the multidisciplinary team.
Highlights
The earthquake that the in 2009 struck the city of L'Aquila and its territory, the area called the "seismic crater", profoundly hit the population for the victims, and for the massive damage to the cultural heritage of the city and surrounding area
Scientific literature is in agreement that the HBIM is a tool that lends itself to the planning and managing of conservation and restoration projects, especially for its ability to interface with multidisciplinary teams, the lack of algorithms able to completely automate virtual modeling from point clouds, makes parametric component modeling a timeconsuming process (López et al, 2018; Brumana et al, 2018a, Pocobelli et al, 2018)
PERSPECTIVES The results of this multidisciplinary research, as well as ensuring accurate knowledge of the cultural heritage, at least in this first phase and preliminary to the drafting of the restoration project, allowed to build a HBIM model in line with the norms and proposals developed by the scientific community during the last years
Summary
The earthquake that the in 2009 struck the city of L'Aquila and its territory, the area called the "seismic crater", profoundly hit the population for the victims, and for the massive damage to the cultural heritage of the city and surrounding area. What has been highlighted by such reviews is that the workflow to follow for the construction of an H-BIM seems to be sufficiently standardized, from the data acquisition phase, to the semantic planning of the system and at least until the parametric modeling phase. Scientific literature is in agreement that the HBIM is a tool that lends itself to the planning and managing of conservation and restoration projects, especially for its ability to interface with multidisciplinary teams, the lack of algorithms able to completely automate virtual modeling from point clouds, makes parametric component modeling a timeconsuming process (López et al, 2018; Brumana et al, 2018a, Pocobelli et al, 2018). Some research groups are simultaneously engaged in defining the possibility of integration between Ontology and BIM, which are two tools for the semantic representation of the existing for which Ontology represents the explicit specification of a conceptualization and the BIM the digital representation of the object on which it is possible to geo-refer non-graphic information (Fiorani, 2017; Acierno et al, 2017)
