Archaeology of buildings and HBIM methodology: Integrated tools for documentation and knowledge management of architectural heritage

The research described in this paper illustrates the results of an investigation procedure that integrates different tools and methods, conducted to generate a parametric model starting from the results of the archaeological analysis of historical buildings. The HBIM of the Church of St. Francesco of Rocca Calascio (AQ) was built initially using the metric data produced from the photogrammetric digital survey, respecting the development requirements both in geometries (LOG) and in information (LOI), as well as in reliability (LOR) and in detail (Lod). This parametric model facilitates the documentation and sharing of a mass of data relating to the architectural heritage, and the correct knowledge and enhancement of the same. Furthermore, it allows the management and use of archaeological data, as well as for modelling, in the monitoring and design phases of conservation or fruition interventions, going beyond the boundaries of the disciplinary sector.
