Since their introduction, modeling tools aimed to architectural design evolved in today’s “digital multi-purpose drawing boards” based on enhanced parametric elements able to originate whole buildings within virtual environments. Semantic splitting and elements topology are features that allow objects to be “intelligent” (i.e. self-aware of what kind of element they are and with whom they can i...

Historic buildings have their own specialized and traditional techniques used in their construction. These are not generally practiced in modern buildings. Working with stone is very technical, laborious and time consuming job. It needs sensitivity and perfection both at workers 8and supervisor level.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) for the diagnosis of heritage buildings has proved to be one most sustainable approaches in field preventive conservation. Nevertheless, comprehensive management NDT information is complex, often resulting a poorly optimized use data. This contribution aims propose method integrating data standardized way into simplified digital models, produced using Geographic In...
