H-BIM for the Torino Esposizioni complex: A fusion of Parametric Digital Modeling and Image Archive, bridging past and present
Abstract
The article delves into the results of the renovation of the Torino Esposizioni complex, a masterpiece by Pier Luigi Nervi and a pivotal part of Turin’s architectural legacy. This building has once again become a focal point in contemporary discussions, given its central role in the Technical Economic Feasibility Plan (PFTE) proposed by the Isolarchitetti studio in collaboration with Rafael Moneo, slated for completion in 2022. This team played a pivotal role in implementing and refining the BIM methodology within the professional realm, specifically for crafting the architectural model of such a distinguished property. The process of breaking down the building into standard H-BIM components began with a preliminary phase of study that leveraged an extensive iconographic collection. This assemblage of images underscores the intricacy of an architectural entity deeply rooted in our heritage and chronicles its myriad modifications and restorations over the years. This paints a vivid picture, drawing profound parallels between historical images and today’s digital renditions.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.31.2023.6
