Historic Building Information Modelling

Описание: The UK Government Construction Strategy was published in 2011 within which was announced its intention for “collaborative 3D BIM on its projects by 2016”. Although a stimulus for change and investment across some related sectors most focus still remains on new-build construction meaning that adoption of Building Information Modelling - BIM for existing buildings, heritage and archaeology is still unclear.
This presentation will discuss existing work to assess the relevance and potential adoption of BIM across the English Heritage historic estate and the impact of BIM on the external advice now provided by Historic England. It will also cover the geospatial technologies, such as laser scanning, Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry and drone acquired imaging, that typically supply the base BIM-ready survey datasets and, once constructed, the digital outputs and potential areas of application that BIM may have across archaeology. Although project application of BIM across the UK heritage sector still remains low, such background work has allowed Historic England to increase its knowledge on BIM and formulate targeted research relating to Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) that will widen appreciation of its respective benefits and target some current areas of concern across an archaeological context.
