Documenting heritage at risk: Integrated 3D survey and HBIM modelling protocols of the built heritage

The effect of climate change and the anthropogenic actions combined with political and socio- economic scenarios bring new pressures and risks to both the built and Cultural Heritage. To achieve more effective resilience and sustainability of the Cultural Heritage life cycle, new design strategies and innovative solutions are implemented along with the value chain through the contribution of experts in interdisciplinary research fields. It is impossible to fully protect and avoid damage to the Cultural Heritage from seismic events. Similarly, the securing and reconstruction phases of Cultural Heritage after earthquakes and catastrophes are extremely complex, both technically and procedurally, and costly processes. Even more challenging is preserving the tangible and intangible values of the damaged Cultural Heritage buildings. Nonetheless, safeguarding monumental Cultural Heritage from catastrophic events cannot exclude the study of the fragilities and risk mitigation strategies of the minor heritage that frequently constitutes the connective tissue of territories and landscapes.
