ABSTRACT
BIM (Building Information Modelling) provides an effective strategy to improve the design, construction and maintenance of buildings. Undoubtedly, historical buildings are quite different from contemporary ones. Among others, a special feature is the fact that historical architecture is not a result of a single constructive boost, but a sequence of transformations that take place throughout its history. This paper presents the results of a research focused on the adaptation of BIM methodology to the specific features of historical buildings. For this purpose, we have used as case study the 3D model of the church of San Cebrián de Mazote (Valladolid, Spain), analyzed previously by means of the methodology archaeology of the architecture. This paper addresses the creation of the model as well as the use of a specific tool designed for implementing cultural heritage objects in a BIM environment, PetroBIM, in order to create the BIM model of this church.
