Research fellow at ABC Department/GIcarus Lab since 2013 as an expert in Building Information Model (BIM), Reverse Engineering applied in Building, Digital Heritage, Restoration and Infrastructure. In these years he had the opportunity to generate various H-BIMs and VR projects for Politecnico di Milano.In 2015, he improved his research thanks to the PhD Scholarships at ABC Department. In 2016 took part in a PhD internship at the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) Lab at Carleton University, Ottawa Ontario (Canada) in affiliation with the Azrieli School of Architectureedit

The research focuses on the generation of 3D models aimed at creating interactive virtual environments as the outcomes of scalar representations of existing realities. The purpose is to increase the narration, fruition, and dissemination of the findings that emerged from the archaeological investigations carried out in a large sector of the south-eastern suburbs of Rome. In this context, the research proposes a process oriented toward designing a virtual museum of the first group of works from the Appia Antica Archaeological Park and now exhibited at the Museo Nazionale Romano, the Antiquarium di Lucrezia Romana, and the Antiquarium di Villa Dei Quintili. Managing high historical and cultural findings through geometrical surveys, high-resolution data from 3D survey analysis, archival research, and interactive digital representation is the aim of the study. The digitisation of artefacts has made it possible to build new forms of communication that enrich virtual and on-site visits wi...

This paper presents the modeling and monitoring work related to the mediaeval bridge Azzone Visconti in Lecco ( the “old bridge”). Metric information was acquired with different instruments and techniques for an integrated digital documentation that combines observations with variable precision: ±0.1 mm for the analysis of small vertical movements and subcentimeter precision for the geometrical reconstruction. The complexity of the bridge, with irregular constructive elements and different materials, required a detailed geometrical survey with laser scanning and photogrammetric techniques for the generation of plans and sections along with an accurate 3D parametric representation based on Building Information Modeling. A strategy based on NURBS curves and surfaces was implemented to overcome the lack of BIM libraries for historical constructions. Modeling was carried out at a metric scale 1:50 by assembling BIM objects following the logic of construction of the bridge. A semi-automa...

In the last years it has been progressively invested many efforts in the cultural heritage digitization: surveying, modeling activities, diagnostic analysis and historic data collection of architectural heritage. Such actions have been mainly acquired for the preservation process, during the restoration and construction site. Unfortunately, many of them are left abandoned in a latent status without any connection with the long life cycle of the historic architectures or connection to the dissemination. The paper presents the case of an informative model for the Basilica di Collemaggio generated on high resolution surveying (laser scanning, photogrammetric point clouds and IRT Infrared Thermography) to manage the knowledge acquired on the geometry and the collected information on materials, construction technology and decay analysis for the design and conservation after the earthquake occurred at L’Aquila. The paper illustrates the HBIM (Heritage Building Information Model) achieved to support the restoration process funded by EniServizi within the project ‘Restart from Collemaggio’. It is described the generative modelling process implemented to embody the complexity and specificity of the morphology related to the collected information on the state of the art, the sum of the current damages and transformations during the centuries, for the preservation plan of the monument. Many damaged structures as in the case of the north wall with the Holy Door and of the arched naves with the ancient pillars have been restored preserving the maximum level of authenticity of the materials and construction techniques. The HBIM of the Basilica, re-opened to the public on December 2017, is ready to a sentinel role among past present and future.

This chapter presents the latest advances in historic building information modeling (HBIM) that have been transformed into models for mobile apps based on augmented and virtual reality. The chapter aims to demonstrate that a complex model based on HBIM can be used in portable devices to extract useful information not only for specialists in architecture, engineering, and construction industry and cultural heritage documentation and preservation but also for a wide user community interested in cultural tourism.

3D acquisition methods and systems for totally or partially submerged cultural heritage (CH) allow the developments of methods able to integrate complex BIM projects for rivers, lakes, maritime structures and infrastructures with the world of Virtual Reality (VR) and BIM monitoring. Thanks to an open approach this paper shows the results obtained in the field of programming language for the development of an open-source BIM platform able to get e fusion between the application fields of BIM sensor, monitoring, historic building information modelling (HBIM) and VR. Several preliminary test results are reported in order to show the potential of the proposed method for multiple research case studies, and also proposing future perspectives and developments oriented to get a holistic, inclusive and unified platform able to manage complex scenarios accurately such heritage sites subject to the risk of flood and water level changes.

In this paper, we present a procedure which makes available an accurate historic BIM (HBIM) in the cloud. Data processing is carried out with a NURBS-based strategy to reduce the size of the final HBIM derived from images and laser scans, providing an accurate and reliable 3D model with limited memory occupation. This guarantees a remote access with PCs and mobile devices connected through a cloud service.

This paper presents an innovative procedure to create parametric building information modelling (BIM) objects from point clouds of complex architectural features. BIM technology requires an advanced parametric representation of the geometry involving spatial relationships, constraints and material properties. The aim of the procedure is a BIM‐based reconstruction methodology that preserves the level of detail encapsulated in photogrammetric and laser‐scanning point clouds, and relies on non‐uniform rational basis splines (NURBS) curves. The particular case of architectural objects with irregular shapes is addressed due to the lack of commercial BIM software able to handle such buildings. An actual case study made up of 7·5 billion points is discussed to demonstrate the use of the proposed procedure with huge point‐cloud datasets.
