Preserving Our Heritage: Technology Strategies for the Digitization and Reuse of Existing Buildings

Discover how technology is rapidly becoming an important force in preserving of our architectural heritage. Historic buildings don't fit the mold of typical building information modeling (BIM) strategies applied to new builds, and this talk with present practical examples of how this approach can be documented and achieved. But preservation isn't just about documentation—it's about adaptation. We will showcase how we can capture the intricate details in BIM and use them as powerful tools to communicate the blending of heritage structures with contemporary spaces. This talk will focus on the development of project-specific BIM strategies for heritage buildings, and dive into detail of the team skills, technology, and data required to deliver.
