What opportunities and challenges does Heritage BIM (HBIM) present for heritage conservation and building research? A brief introduction.

Engaging with historical building research

Historical building research and planning have long worked closely together – and are increasingly doing so digitally. This event explores the added value of digital building surveys and examines when analogue methods remain appropriate. The VDL will present guidance on quality assurance and the efficient recording of architectural heritage findings. The Federal Chamber of Architects will present its guide ‘Digitalisation and Renovation’, supplemented by case studies from the fields of architecture and structural engineering.

From Survey to Information - HBIM in Heritage Practice

How can HBIM support documentation, research and conservation of historic buildings? Using the the example of the DBU-funded research project Synagogue in Worms as a real-world case study, the workshop explores the complete HBIM workflow – from digital survey and modelling to information management, communication and practical use in heritage conservation. In this modular workshop, Mainz University of Applied Sciences, as a guest of VDL AG Historische Bauforschung, will demonstrate how HBIM can be applied in practice. Opportunities and challenges will be discussed together.
