Heritage buildings are of great importance to the human perception culture a community. HBIM (Historic Building Information Modelling) tools offer possibility an improved data set information related mainly restoration and preservation historical buildings. This work aims assess damage historic house by employing integrated tolls experimental procedures. The was evaluated visual inspection hous...

Should the practice of the historic preservation of built and landscape heritage necessarily be based on conservation? Monuments, listed buildings, landscapes, and other forms of built heritage, are typically regarded as immutable and untouchable—objects to be “conserved”—and as a result tend to fade from public imagination and memory (Rietveld et al., 2017). Current conservative preservation p...

One of the last 1920's skyscrapers built in Philadephia, the FidelityPhiladelphia Trust Building, with its fine Beaux-Arts design and ornamentation, is individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by the local architectural firm of Simon and Simon, the Fidelity Building, as it is called today, synthesizes classical architectural features and standard practices of sk...

Abstract Historic buildings carry the history of human civilisation, and their conservation utilisation are widely valued by countries around world. At present, lack qualitative quantitative assessment evaluation methods for preservation status attachment value historic poses a challenge to smooth implementation buildings. The development set system standards is an urgent task This paper propos...

Pumice pebbles were collected by staff of the Marshall Islands Historic Preservation Office (RMIHPO) during a 2005 cultural inventory of Jelbon Islet, Mili Atoll. GNS Science analyzed the major and trace element chemistry and found a close match with analyses of the alkali-rich rhyolite erupted in 1953-1957 from Tuluman Island, Admiralty group, Papua New Guinea some 3000 km from Mili Atoll. The...

Computer advances in recent decades have contributed to the emergence of three dimensional (3D) urban simulation, which studies urban environments based on virtual models of physical reality. This article discusses methods of 3D urban simulation for urban planning and design in order to understand their potential, capabilities, limitations and concerns about the validity of simulation outcome. ...

Do houses evolve? The intuitive answer would have to be yes. The general assessment that houses are better apparently supports that conclusion, as does the fact that those improvements occurred incrementally over the last century or so with the steady introduction and refinement of indoor plumbing, central heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, electric lighting. Despite a certain resistance...

Long development times and high costs prevent robots from being practical for use in many important field missions. Here a modular design approach is proposed to produce a rapidly deployable low cost field robotic system. An inventory of components such as actuated joints, links, power supplies, and software modules are assembled to produce a field robotic system for a specified task. The propo...
