Digital methods in architectural and environmental renovation of buildings for a public function

Abstract

This article explores advanced digital methods for comprehensive renovation of industrial buildings into public spaces. Four different approaches are described in detail: 1. Digital mapping and modeling: allows accurate spatial analysis to be performed for optimizing design solutions before physical renovation; combines virtual and augmented reality to create an immersive experience. 2. Integration of augmented and virtual reality: facilitates joint decision-making by visualizing proposed projects and thus increasing public engagement. Historical and cultural narratives are overlapped, strengthening the connection between the past and the present. 3. Smart building systems: include IoT devices and sensors to optimize energy efficiency, comfort, and overall functionality; solve unique challenges related to the conversion of industrial buildings. 4. Digital twin technology: creates a dynamic virtual copy for continuous real-time monitoring; uses machine learning for predictive analysis, increasing operational efficiency and sustainability. The convergence of technologies and architectural innovations presents a transformative force in the context of architectural and environmental renovation of industrial buildings, representing a change of the paradigm in the renovation of industrial facilities for re-use as a public function.
