Validación de una metodología heritage building information modeling H-BIM aplicada a una edificación patrimonial del Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract

In order to carry out a conservation, restoration or monitoring action, heritage buildings must be analyzed from several points of view, among them we have: architectural, archaeological, historical valuation, diagnosis of injuries and causes, etc. The documents derived from these studies are classifed and gathered to form the documentation for consultation and decision making in the intervention processes. Currently, the organization of these documents presents some drawbacks, since they correspond to diferent areas of study. This makes the conservation of real estate difcult, as it is necessary to work in an interdisciplinary manner, since the processes of conservation and maintenance of heritage buildings require it. The work methodology proposed by BIM (Building Information Modeling) makes it possible to include graphic information and alphanumeric data within a single work platform, overcoming the aforementioned problems of operability. In this work, the Historical BIM (H-BIM) methodology will be validated by analyzing a heritage house in the city of Cuenca under an H-BIM approach. The information obtained will be analyzed and stored in a single digital fle that will include the 3D modeling and information in an alphanumeric database, seeking to successfully document the property and demonstrate that the methodological proposal is applicable to the Historic Center of Cuenca. In addition, a template fle will be created that will be academically useful for future studies in the research project: “World Heritage City”.
