BIM management methodology for the documentation of architectural restoration projects: Case study of Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract:

The representative built cultural heritage for the city of Cuenca-Ecuador. The autonomous decentralized municipal government of the Cuenca canton in the area determined as the historic center, has photographic files and physical architectural plans of the inventoried buildings with historical heritage character, however, since there are no digital documents of the entire historic area, it will be generated Difficulties while carrying out an intervention project in heritage buildings, for this reason it is proposed to integrate a BIM management methodology that adapts to architectural restoration projects, allowing the generation of 3D three-dimensional digital files with a database of each architectural element that is present in the buildings of the study site, by collecting bibliographic information about BIM processes and by analyzing similar cases, in addition to the experiences obtained in interviews with experts. The interviewees in this area will be those involved, who will provide information about the reality they face in said processes, positions that in the aforementioned labor field there are qualitative variables that should be related to variables found in the review of similar cases, which must also be used and coded in order to achieve a BIM methodology adaptable to the reality of the place of study, including the seven dimensions of BIM, thus facilitating the handling, documentation and management of an architectural intervention, or of the restorations to be carried out in the built heritage of The City. Once the analysis of the data collected in the bibliographic review and case studies has been carried out, it is conceived to adopt the BIM methodology, for architectural heritage, which can be applied according to the reality in the city of Cuenca, considering the possible limiting factors that may exist or not, so that these methods to be applied can be part of a possible solution to the lack of protocols that regulate the documentation of architectural heritage information.
