Integration application system of Chinese wooden architecture heritages based on BIM

Being a particular structure of ancient architecture in China, a large amount of wooden architectures were inscribed on the World Heritage List. The components can be perceived as the carriers of multivariate information which will increase and update over time in a long term. To strengthen the correlation between digital information and components of architectural entities, and meet the growing demands of the preservation of cultural relics as well, this BIM-based project integrates knowledge from different disciplines as Architecture, heritage conservation theory, logistics information and information management. It aims to build on a feasible management system of heritage units with more scientifically records, operation, maintenance, management and display by employing the building information model. Under the circumstances of a boom in computer technology and Big Data, this project attempts to bridge the gap between advanced information management and wooden-structured architectures.
