HBIM GENERATION: EXTENDING GEOMETRIC PRIMITIVES and BIM MODELLING TOOLS for HERITAGE STRUCTURES and COMPLEX VAULTED SYSTEMS
Full text linkToday, the generation of smart models and digital archives able to accompany the management of architectural assets through the integration of advanced 3D survey techniques and Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) becomes an irremissible added value for the management of building life cycle. New international BIM standards are trying to give some guidelines to this new digital tool, which has demonstrated a wide range of potential applications in digital heritage, structural simulation, generative design, site management, restoration and daily maintenance activities. To manage a proper 3D reconstruction from point clouds, also known as Scan-to-BIM process, BIM experts typically use 3D application developed for the management of new buildings, which make it difficult to generate complex objects such as historic vaults and irregular and damaged walls. For these reasons, this study places the heart of its research in the integration of generative modelling in BIM application, proposing new Scan-to-BIM modelling requirements for complex vaulted systems and a novel add-in (a set of new functionalities for Autodesk Revit) able to improve the generation of complex elements from point cloud data. In particular, new modelling requirements such as novel grades of generation (GOG) and accuracy (GOA) are integrated within the Revit’s structure in order to improve the level of information connected to HBIM and consequently to support the decision making of restoration and rehabilitation projects of complex heritage structure

HBIM, 3D drawing and virtual reality for archaeological sites and ancient ruins
Full text linkData collection, documentation and analysis of the traces of ancient ruins and archaeological sites represent an inestimable value to be handed down to future generations. Thanks to the development of new technologies in the field of computer graphics, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) digital survey, this research proposes new levels of interactivity between users and virtual environments capable of communicating the tangible and intangible values of remains of ancient ruins. In this particular field of development, 3D drawing and digital modelling are based on the application of new Scan-to-HBIM-to-VR specifications capable of transforming simple points (point clouds) into mathematical models and digital information. Thanks to the direct application of novel grades of generation (GOG) and accuracy (GOA) it has been possible to go beyond the creation of complex models for heritage BIM (HBIM) and explore the creation of informative 3D representation composed by sub-elements (granular HBIM objects) characterized by a further level of knowledge. The value of measurement, 3D drawing and digital modelling have been investigated from the scientific point of view and oriented to the generation of a holistic model able to relate both with architects, engineers, and surveyors but also with archaeologists, restorers and virtual tourists
BIM ORIENTATION: GRADES OF GENERATION AND INFORMATION FOR DIFFERENT TYPE OF ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Full text linkArchitecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is facing a great process re-engineering of the management procedures
for new constructions, and recent studies show a significant increase of the benefits obtained through the use of Building Information
Modelling (BIM) methodologies. This innovative approach needs new developments for information and communication
technologies (ICT) in order to improve cooperation and interoperability among different actors and scientific disciplines.
Accordingly, BIM could be described as a new tool capable of collect/analyse a great quantity of information (Big data) and improve
the management of building during its life of cycle (LC). The main aim of this research is, in addition to a reduction in production
times, reduce physical and financial resources (economic impact), to demonstrate how technology development can support a
complex generative process with new digital tools (modelling impact). This paper reviews recent BIMs of different historical Italian
buildings such as Basilica of Collemaggio in L’Aquila, Masegra Castle in Sondrio, Basilica of Saint Ambrose in Milan and Visconti
Bridge in Lecco and carries out a methodological analysis to optimize output information and results combining different data and
modelling techniques into a single hub (cloud service) through the use of new Grade of Generation (GoG) and Information (GoI)
(management impact). Finally, this study shows the need to orient GoG and GoI for a different type of analysis, which requires a
high Grade of Accuracy (GoA) and an Automatic Verification System (AVS ) at the same time
THE INTEGRATION OF A SCAN-TO-HBIM PROCESS IN BIM APPLICATION: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADD-IN TO GUIDE USERS IN AUTODESK REVIT
Full text linkIn recent years, the generative process of building information modeling (BIM) digital models oriented to the digitisation of heritage buildings has been supported by the development of new modeling tools, able to integrate the point cloud data produced by laser scanning and digital photogrammetry in major modeling software applications such as Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft Archicad. Architectural and structural elements of churches, castles, and historical monuments such as complex vaults, arches, decorations and ornaments, irregular walls with a variable section and wall stratigraphy require higher levels of detail (LOD) and information (LOI) than new buildings. Consequently, the structure of a BIM model oriented to represent heritage buildings (HBIM) required the definition of a new digital process capable of converting the traditional techniques to the generation of 'unique' digital models able to connect different type of information. Consequently, the generation of 'new' 3D objects able to follow the constructive logic of the detected artefact has required the establishment of new grades of generation (GOG) and accuracy (GOA) to reduce the time and cost of the scan-to-BIM process. The main challenge of this research was the integration of these new modeling requirements in BIM software through the development of an add-in for one of the most used BIM software (Autodesk Revit). Through the generation of the complex vaulted system of the Basilica of Collemaggio (L’Aquila, Italy) and one of the most famous monuments of northern Italy (Arch of Peace in Milan, Italy), the following research shows how it was possible to support users in the HBIM generation, reducing the modeling impact of complex shapes from point cloud data and increasing information sharing for different BIM-based analysis, disciplines and users
Management ed etica delle risorse in sanità
No full textIl tema dell’allocazione delle risorse in sanità è rapidamente divenuto negli anni recenti uno dei principali fuochi di interesse del dibattito teorico e delle proposte operative.
La domanda radicale “Chi curare” si pone sia a livello istituzionale che al letto del malato.
Le impressionanti nuove possibilità scaturite dal progresso medico nei settori della prevenzione, della diagnostica e della terapia hanno reso diffusamente disponibili complesse e raffinate tecniche di indagine ed efficaci strategie terapeutiche innovative, le quali comportano un incremento sempre più difficile da sostenere dei costi sanitari. La suddivisione delle risorse richiede scelte aventi rilievo per i principi etici da applicare a diagnostica, terapia, cure e ricerca, da considerare non disgiuntamente dal rapporto medico-paziente, ai sensi dei concetti di salute affermatisi all’interno della società. Da qui l’esigenza di avviare una riflessione sui temi dell’allocazione delle risorse e in essa della responsabilità etica, aiutando i professionisti della salute, che nella loro opera quotidiana devono agire in costante mediazione tra la questione della giustizia sociale e dell’equa allocazione delle risorse, nell’affrontare vicende complesse che propongono questioni difficili: razionalizzazione, razionamento, priorità.
Tre gli assunti di fondo che in modo originale vengono sviluppati nel testo: la necessità di esplicitare i criteri etici che governano e guidano le scelte allocative come forma di rispetto nei confronti del cittadino e di garanzia per l’Istituzione sanitaria e di chi in essa lavora. Quindi l’urgenza che i diversi saperi, tecnico -sia clinico che economico-, etico e deontologico, nel rispetto dei diversi approcci metodologici, non si limitino a giustapporsi, ma sappiano sussumersi e integrarsi verso una decisione condivisa. Infine l’esigenza che, nella distinzione di ruoli, ciascun operatore avverta la consapevolezza e realizzi nella pratica la propria responsabilità nei confronti di una giusta allocazione delle risorse.
A partire da queste prospettive, il testo si sviluppa lungo quattro sezioni.
La prima, giustizia in sanità, mira a delineare le linee generali dell’argomento e a porre in evidenza le questioni essenziali. La seconda sezione, il razionamento in campo sanitario, sviluppa il tema nella prospettiva della competenza nelle discipline economiche. La terza sezione, bioetica e allocazione delle risorse in sanità, è dedicata alla riflessione morale. Infine, l’ultima sezione, il comitato di etica e il suo ruolo nell’allocazione delle risorse, si concentra sulla possibile funzione di questo organismo quale strumento di maturazione e di aiuto ai diversi livelli istituzionali per affrontare adeguatamente il tema della giustizia in sanità.
Il volume si rivolge a coloro che hanno responsabilità in campo sanitario, sia a livello macroallocativo che al letto del paziente, e al contempo a ogni cittadino, in quanto utente -effettivo e potenziale- e in quanto decisore, visto il ruolo sempre più importante assunto dalle politiche sanitarie nelle scelte governative, nazionali e regionali e nei relativi progetti politici
