Lecture #1: From Blueprints to Bytes: Digital Twins and Historic Building Management
Presenters: Charles Thompson and Kelly Haley, Quinn Evans Architects
As technology advances, new opportunities arise for how we can document and manage historic buildings. The use of “Digital Twins” to capture, digitize, and organize a myriad of information into a three-dimensional, web-based, graphical user-interface provides new analytic and innovative techniques to measure, track, and maintain a building’s performance.
Lecture #2: Leveraging Technology to Streamline Condition Assessments for Monumental Projects
Presenters: Julia Manglitz and Abigail Saunders, Quinn Evans Architects
Condition assessments and inventories for monumental buildings are foundational for design work and generate enormous volumes of data. The information gathered can take various forms, from photos and sketches to qualitative and quantitative data that describes material degradation or loss. A database, such as BIM, captures design intent associated with a 3-dimensional model. However, like most tools in the AEC industry, it is primarily tailored to new construction. While information can be associated with model elements, models and their data are not easily manipulated from the field. This is where Layer, a nimble, customizable, and scalable database, proves helpful because it is field friendly and can be run from a smartphone or tablet. It allows for multiple simultaneous users, making it a valuable tool for monumental building projects. Layer's unique advantage is its ability to associate survey data with an element in a BIM model, making it a comprehensive solution for managing different survey data types and connecting them to design documentation.
