Sistemi Informativi Architettonici per la gestione, tutela e fruizione dell'edilizia storica

As time goes by become increasingly complex the architectural heritage protection and conservation field. Indeed it requires a wide, interdisciplinary and organized knowledge base of the architectural buildings. Because of the widespread of digital technologies (as laser scanner and photogrammetry) the architectural survey offers easily digital models that fits in the architectural information systems having as a basic requirement its spatial reference. The aim of the research group -composed by member of members of ITC-CNR and Department of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of L'Aquila- that created the SIArch-Univaq (a new Architectural Information System) was to set down the integration of 3D digital models of historical architecture with GIS. The research defined the standards needed in order to integrate the different modeling technologies, the model’s detail level, the importing procedures and the whole database structure. The SIArch was tested on different architectural typologies as a tool in supporting the decisions to be taken in planning, design and implementation of interventions, but also to create an adequate working space to carry out research activities.
