From the Survey to the Digital Construction Site

Abstract

The Solimene factory is a work by the architect Paolo Soleri built in 1955, considered one of the best expressions of the Italian “Organic” movement and today protected under the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape. For educational purposes, the advocated restoration intervention, it attracted renewed interest upon the demise of its designer. Based on TLS data acquisition and Building Information Modeling, this study investigates the opportunity to implement interventions on modern architectures with interoperable processes and data integration. The present paper aims to reconcile two fundamental but opposite aspects of information modeling of historical buildings (H-BIM): the formal accuracy and the identification of standard properties for component parameterization, by presenting the creation of exclusive oriented objects.
