Application of Virtual Anastylosis Techniques for Architectural Research

This project intends to advance in the intervention and conservation of abandoned, destroyed or ruined buildings, through a methodology that allows us to explore the cultural and social significance of these architectural assets or to explore the use or function that can be assigned to them. In this way, it will be possible to carry out these works while maintaining the integrity and identity of the asset. At present, there is no systematic policy for the reconstruction of destroyed cultural heritage. The achievement of this general objective will require the following specific objectives (SSOO), which are directly related to the current problems reflected in the background and the state of the art: - SO.1 - To provide objectivity to the processes of intervention (liberation or consolidation) and conservation (restoration or reconstruction) of heritage buildings, through a methodology that allows exploring the cultural and social significance of these architectural assets or exploring the specific use or function that can be assigned to them. In this way, it will be possible to carry out these works while maintaining the integrity and identity of the property. This will be achieved through the application of Virtual Anastylosis techniques, which will allow us to generate a 4D model of the property, which will combine information from historical data and temporal analysis, together with geometric data (external and internal), and data obtained from the study of materials, techniques and architectural styles. - SO.2 - Integration of IoT for the development of advanced damage monitoring procedures for architectural heritage, based on Big Data and minimalist architecture (zero or near-zero visual impact). Such monitoring will be supported by structural sensors (e.g. accelerometers, inclinometers, extensometers, etc.), as well as environmental sensors (e.g. temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, etc.). In addition, the possibility of providing autonomy to the system both in terms of communication and power supply will be studied. - SO.3 – To develop a methodology for unifying the information of the previous specific objectives (SO.1 and SO.2), in a data model for connection with the Digital Twin technology, in order to know in an objective way, the current state of the property and the evolution of the damage it suffers. The application of this technology will mean a quantum leap in the work of intervention and conservation of heritage buildings. It will allow the implementation of preventive conservation policies in architectural assets, enabling the generation of predictive models. - SO.4 – Implementation of a system to provide objectivity to the processes of damage diagnosis prescription (generation of prescriptive models). This will facilitate the application of preventive conservation policies in architectural buildings. The aim is to export all the information obtained in the previous specific objectives into BIM techniques.
