From Research to Application of HBIM for Conservation Management Plan: The Experience of the School of Mathematics by Gio Ponti in Rome

Between 2019 and 2021, a multidisciplinary group, scientifically coordinated by Prof. Simona Salvo, conducted research on the Gio Ponti School of Mathematics - a work from 1935 located within the city of Rome - funded by The Getty Foundation under the "Keeping it Modern" project. After studying the building in all its aspects, the ultimate goal of this multidisciplinary experience was to develop a plan for scheduled conservation. Once the work was completed, all the data was collected in a technical report. Still, there was a spontaneous inquiry into which digital tool could be suitable for conveying its findings. It was decided to experiment and investigate the potential of the H-Bim model, which was, however, introduced ex-post compared to the research process. In conclusion, this contribution aims to address the result of this experience, highlighting the merits, potential, and limitations of HBIM modelling
