Current State Of The Art Historic Building Information Modelling, Conor Dore, Maurice Murphy
Conference papers
In an extensive review of existing literature a number of observations were made in relation to the current approaches for recording and modelling existing buildings and environments: Data collection and pre-processing techniques are becoming increasingly automated to allow for near real-time data capture and fast processing of this data for later modelling applications. Current BIM software is almost completely focused on new buildings and has very limited tools and pre-defined libraries for modelling existing and historic buildings. The development of reusable parametric library objects for existing and historic buildings supports modelling with high levels of detail while decreasing the modelling …
Armagh Observatory: Historic Building Information Modelling For Virtual Learning In Building Conservation, Maurice Murphy, Alain Chenaux, Garrett Keenaghan, V. Gibson, John Butler, C. Pybusr
Armagh Observatory: Historic Building Information Modelling For Virtual Learning In Building Conservation, Maurice Murphy, Alain Chenaux, Garrett Keenaghan, V. Gibson, John Butler, C. Pybusr
Conference papers
In this paper the recording and design for a Virtual Reality Immersive Model of Armagh Observatory is presented, which will replicate the historic buildings and landscape with distant meridian markers and position of its principal historic instruments within a model of the night sky showing the position of bright stars. The virtual reality model can be used for educational purposes allowing the instruments within the historic building model to be manipulated within 3D space to demonstrate how the position measurements of stars were made in the 18th century. A description is given of current student and researchers activities concerning on-site …
