| summary |
Egypt lacks documentation of many of its distinguished heritage treasures, such as artifacts, buildings, monuments and sites. As for the documented component, documents remain in library shelves without much access except for specialists. Much of this documentation has disappeared as a result of neglect, damage factors and various structural repercussions, or as a result of demolition. There is no doubt about the number of heritage buildings that were demolished for city planning purposes, especially in Cairo which possesses more than a third of the traces of the Islamic civilization; a transformationthat is demonstrated by comparing scholar descriptions of the French campaign to Egypt in 1798 and photos taken from the years 1899 to 1920 and beyond, leading to loss of valuable cultural heritage. Therefore, the preservation of this heritage, with the advancement in digital technologies has become one of the important priorities at the international level to confront these problems.Some of the approaches in this regard involve 3D information modeling using either photogrammetry and laser scanning, or 3D modeling and documentation using AutoCAD or 3DMax. This paper addresses the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in recording, documenting and imagining the reconstruction of heritage buildings, especially partially or completely destroyed heritage buildings, based on written descriptions, pictures or drawings, and the exploitation of technology in the application of virtual heritage, the reconstruction and composition of buildings, structures or artifacts virtually on the computer at fixed epochs. The aim of the paper is to provide a framework to preserve heritage at a lower cost than modern high cost methods, provide a library of its unique architectural elements, revive heritage documents of antiquities, as well as benefiting from their added value in maintenance and restoration operations, and offering data for further studies related to preservation of cultural heritage. |
