Day 3 – ENGINEER Summer School 3: “Information Management Systems for Cultural Heritage”
The third day of the ENGINEER Summer School 3: “Information Management Systems for Cultural Heritage” kicked off on Thursday, 12th of June 2025, at the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) premises in Paphos. Coordinated by Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), the day combined fieldwork with expert-led sessions focused on digital heritage innovation. Participants began the day with a technical visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Tombs of the Kings, a central case study of the ENGINEER project. All project...
3D modelling in action
Dr. Francesca Turchetti from POLIMI is now leading a hands-on session on close-range recording and 3D modelling exploitation to support structural analysis. Attendees are actively engaging with the tools and techniques being demonstrated.
Summer School 3 Launch & HBIM for Pompeii
The sessions begin with the official launch of Summer School 3: “Information Management Systems for Cultural Heritage.” Dr. Branka Cuca from Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) introduces the programme, outlining its goals and focus on digital tools for heritage preservation. Following the opening, Dr. Daniela Oreni (POLIMI) presents an insightful case study titled “Towards an HBIM Platform for Conservation and Maintenance of the Arianna Domus in Pompeii.” Participants are now diving into how survey data is transformed into parametric HBIM models for...
Model calibration using monitoring data
The next session dives into the use of testing and monitoring to calibrate structural models, coordinated by UCL, CUT, and UAVEIRO. Discussions focus on integrating real-world data into modelling workflows for heritage conservation.
