In an era where digital technologies are profoundly transforming the ways we understand, preserve, and communicate heritage, the outcomes of “TNE Docenti” – “TNE Studio” project “Moving Italianness for a better collaborative Italian–Argentine vision”, entitled “Heritage Building Information Modeling and Historical Architectural Heritage”, offer both a critical and operational reflection on Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) as a new paradigm for the study of historical architecture. Result of an international cooperation project between Italy and Argentina, the book presents a path of research, experimentation, and education that brings into dialogue two different cultural and disciplinary contexts, united by a shared goal of developing tools for managing the complexity of heritage. Through case studies developed between Buenos Aires and Rome, HBIM is investigated not merely as a modeling technology, but as an information system capable of integrating geometric, historical, material, and interpretative data within a single knowledge environment. The book explores the potential of digital model as a dynamic infrastructure, able to support processes of analysis, conservation, management, and enhancement, overcoming the traditional fragmentation of information. At the core of the research lies the transition from representation to knowledge construction, where the model becomes a critical tool capable of making sources, interpretations, and levels of reliability explicit. Balancing theory and application, research and education, tradition and innovation, this research contributes to the international debate on urban archaeology and built heritage, proposing a replicable and open approach grounded in collaboration, methodological transparency, and knowledge sharing. An invitation to read heritage not only as a memory of the past, but as a living system, continuously evolving, to be understood, managed, and narrated through the new frontiers of the digital realm.
In un’epoca in cui il digitale sta trasformando profondamente il modo di conoscere, conservare e comunicare il patrimonio, gli esiti del progetto TNE Docenti - TNE Studio “Moving Italianness per una migliore visione collaborativa italo-argentina” dal titolo “Heritage Building Information Modeling e patrimonio storico architettonico” propongono una riflessione critica e operativa sull’Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) come nuovo paradigma per lo studio dell’architettura storica. Frutto di un progetto di cooperazione internazionale tra Italia e Argentina, il volume racconta un percorso di ricerca, sperimentazione e formazione che mette in dialogo due contesti culturali e disciplinari differenti, uniti dalla volontà di costruire strumenti condivisi per la gestione della complessità del patrimonio. Attraverso casi studio sviluppati tra Buenos Aires e Roma, l’HBIM viene indagato non come semplice tecnologia di modellazione, ma come sistema informativo capace di integrare dati geometrici, storici, materici e interpretativi in un unico ambiente conoscitivo. Il volume esplora le potenzialità del modello digitale come infrastruttura dinamica, in grado di supportare processi di analisi, conservazione, gestione e valorizzazione, superando la frammentazione tradizionale delle informazioni. Al centro della ricerca vi è il passaggio dalla rappresentazione alla costruzione della conoscenza, in cui il modello diventa strumento critico, capace di rendere esplicite fonti, interpretazioni e livelli di affidabilità. Tra teoria e applicazione, tra ricerca e didattica, tra tradizione e innovazione, questo libro offre un contributo al dibattito internazionale sull’archeologia urbana e sul patrimonio costruito, proponendo un approccio replicabile e aperto, fondato sulla collaborazione, sulla trasparenza metodologica e sulla condivisione del sapere. Un invito a leggere il patrimonio non solo come memoria del passato, ma come sistema vivo, in continua evoluzione, da comprendere, gestire e raccontare attraverso le nuove frontiere del digitale.

Abstract
In an era where digital technologies are profoundly transforming the ways we understand, preserve, and communicate heritage, the outcomes of “TNE Docenti” – “TNE Studio” project “Moving Italianness for a better collaborative Italian–Argentine vision”, entitled “Heritage Building Information Modeling and Historical Architectural Heritage”, offer both a critical and operational reflection on Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) as a new paradigm for the study of historical architecture. Result of an international cooperation project between Italy and Argentina, the book presents a path of research, experimentation, and education that brings into dialogue two different cultural and disciplinary contexts, united by a shared goal of developing tools for managing the complexity of heritage. Through case studies developed between Buenos Aires and Rome, HBIM is investigated not merely as a modeling technology, but as an information system capable of integrating geometric, historical, material, and interpretative data within a single knowledge environment. The book explores the potential of digital model as a dynamic infrastructure, able to support processes of analysis, conservation, management, and enhancement, overcoming the traditional fragmentation of information. At the core of the research lies the transition from representation to knowledge construction, where the model becomes a critical tool capable of making sources, interpretations, and levels of reliability explicit. Balancing theory and application, research and education, tradition and innovation, this research contributes to the international debate on urban archaeology and built heritage, proposing a replicable and open approach grounded in collaboration, methodological transparency, and knowledge sharing. An invitation to read heritage not only as a memory of the past, but as a living system, continuously evolving, to be understood, managed, and narrated through the new frontiers of the digital realm.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
