Geometric Survey Data and Historical Sources Interpretation for HBIM Process: the Case of Mantua Cathedral Façade

A comprehensive Historic Building Information Model (HBIM) of Mantua Cathedral's façade demonstrates that effective conservation planning requires deep, interdisciplinary knowledge. The study reveals that HBIM development cannot be automated; it demands thorough understanding of a building's geometric survey data, historical phases, material properties, and construction techniques to create a coherent model. This integrated approach enhances the effectiveness of planned conservation efforts by serving as an organized archive for all relevant data, ensuring long-term management of cultural heritage assets.
