Abstract

The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as it is known today started in the early 2000s but it wasn’t until the beginning of the previous decade the technology began to spread and appealed among historic buildings and monuments (Historic Building Information Modelling/HBIM). The first attempts were focused on the documentation of monuments through the utilization of libraries with architectural elements. The following years, most research efforts focused on generating HBIMs with accurate geometry that represents the reality, as identical as possible. Along with these efforts classifications of the HBIM geometry and information came up, to help the stakeholders comprehend the richness of the model. In recent years intentness have been given in creating HBIM that 7 can be used as integrated tools for the management of historic buildings. Depending on the type of information and the scope of the project, different dimensions grant an additional delineation of the HBIM. This particular review demonstrates the subject matters of HBIM case studies and research projects based on their dimension. To achieve this, it was necessary to classify every case study in the corresponding dimension. Through this classification, it was possible to correlate the different dimensions and therefore the corresponding thematic fields. Finally, the necessity of classifying a HBIM project according to its dimension is pointed out.
