Russian experience of BIM technology using in buildings study, recreation and in museum practice
The article summarizes the results of Russian researchers on the problem of using BIM-technology as an essential tool for the purpose of research, recreation and using in museum practice of buildings and structures. The main examples of using of BIM are considered. BIM is based on GIS systems, laser scanning and other digital technologies that allow creation of 3D-models of cultural heritage sites. A virtual historical reconstruction involves creation «duplicate» of the building in the virtual world to preserve and predict the characteristics of a real structure. Analysis of the conducted studies showed that today in Russia there are mainly theoretical developments in the field of information modeling. At the same time confident steps have been taken towards the implementation of the ideas of 3D-modeling in practice. It becomes possible to recreate the most ancient cities, historical and architectural monuments, and buildings and structures significant as ethnographical objects.
