2016 Renaissance Society of American. Panel: Digital Humanities fo Cultural Heritage II. Author: Paolo Borin. Chair: Caroline Bruzelius. Abstract: The dissertation presents the importance of applying contemporary digital modelling techniques to historical buildings analysis. As of today, the 3D visualization should go beyond simple visual depictions of a past condition. It is necessary to represent the architecture toward intelligent tools, which support information integration providing linking, shape-related analysis and provide the necessary semantic information and relations. Towards a unique Historical Building Information Modeling (HBIM), it becomes easy to relate parts of the same or different buildings, offering to for historic researchers a real model-based knowledge base, new disruptive perspectives of analysis and conservation criteria. Consequently, it is necessary to study new ontologies for historical building, related to new object classification, but derived from Renaissance architectural treatises. A case study of the Church in Padua validates the concepts’ explanation. Thanks to: Andrea Giordano, Federico Panarotto, Elena Svalduz, Maria Rosaria Cundari, Carlo Zanchetta.

which forms a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle;
defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.

HBIM is proposed as a new system of modeling historic structures. It begins with
remote collection of survey data using terrestrial laser scanning combined with
digital cameras [Murphy et al., 2009]
