BIM Design Lead for Restoration of ShipWreck Museum in Kyrenia Castle in Cyprus

The paper deals with the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to the documentation and preservation of Archaeological Heritage, illustrating the implementation process to a case study. The work process started from the historical analysis together with the geometric capturing of the built morphology. A 3D model was created by combining laser scans and a digital photogrammetric survey. To make all 3D data sets interoperable, it was developed a BIM project execution plan focused on the restoration of Shipwreck Museum in the Kyrenia Castle in Cyprus. The HBIM approach not only allows to represent of the existing historic fabric with an effective visualization but also to lead a complex analysis of designed interventions in various scenarios. BIM objects were modelled and managed parametrically for a synthetic definition of the individual elements. All the additional information besides the geometrical data were stored into the HBIM able to document the maintenance and to help the future works. It will be illustrated the procedure and the methodology by presenting the outcomes of the research.
