The BIM representation for documentation and historical-critical analysis of the Modernist heritage

Abstract

BIM - Building Information Modeling applied to the historical-critical analysis and representation of the architectural heritage is becoming more and more an essential means for the understand- ing of design processes and changes over time, as well as a basic instrument for knowledge and as an aid for the design of conservation, mainte- nance, restoration and enhancement projects. The paper analyses BIM applications to the Indi- an and Brazilian modernist heritage, through the works of the greatest architects of the period, in- vestigated through a detailed methodology, also representative, which opens to further research- es and reinterpretations.
