Sistemi voltati complessi : Dal rilievo al modello: algoritmi generativi e HBIM

Abstract

HBIM processes are, in the field of heritage study, one of the main topics in scientific research. Their application, taking advantage of the principles of standardization and information gathering typical of BIM, is not without problems. It is precisely standardization and orientation to “industrial” elements that are often major limitations when the object to be represented has complex geometries. The volume "Complex Vaulted Systems. From survey to model: generative algorithms and HBIM" aims to explore the potential offered by emerging generative modeling methodologies as a possible solution to the main difficulties related to the standardization of complex elements. Historical treatises, often real step-by-step guides for the generation of shapes, become the basis from which to derive those rules that, when coupled with modern digital survey methodologies, are converted into adaptable and reusable generative algorithms. The application case analyzed, the ribbed vaults belonging to the period called late Mediterranean Gothic, is an emblematic example of how common geometric genesis can be traced from which even extremely articulate and complex declinations can be derived.
