Digital Built Heritage Representation and Documentation. A Systematic Mapping of Platforms and Hybrid Models

The growing interest in art history, architecture, and urban history, combined with international initiatives promoting cultural heritage digitization, has underscored the importance of digital platforms for documenting and managing built heritage. This paper presents a systematic literature mapping of recent scientific production on digital tools applied to architectural heritage. Through a review of methodological approaches, the study highlights key trends such as metadata-based modeling, semantic data integration, and real-time systems. Results reveal the application of advanced technologies, like laser scanning, computer vision, drones, and BIM/CIM integration, for multi-scale documentation, from individual buildings to urban contexts. Terms like hybrid and integrated describe workflows linking representation, simulation, and generative design. The concept of virtualization, particularly in digital twins, is prominent for proposing comparative analyses and unified data management systems. This research contributes to understanding the interplay between traditional preservation practices and innovative technologies, offering pathways for interdisciplinary heritage interpretation and documentation. Keywords: Cultural heritage, digital platforms, architectural documentation, Digital Documentation of Built Heritage.
