Actual situation of Building Construction and Architecture Engineering programs of many universities usually overlooks building damages engineering modelling, and related refurbishment actions. Digitalization of construction industry gives many possible tools and methods that can be used to improve learners’ (and teachers’) skills in developing a case – specific approach for teaching a lean, safe and sustainable, resilient approach to virtual reconstruction of damaged historic buildings. Also digital tools and methods needs the use of many software and specific hardware devices, therefore there can be a digital barrier in implementing BIM and AR/VR enabled learning environment in university programmes.
RESUrRECT – AiD aims to create a digital -based collaborative learning environment for AR/VR applications, focused on teaching and learning through case studies of historic building rehabilitation after damage. Preserving the cultural value of existing historic buildings is central, and their reconstruction or rehabilitation should use all digital and innovative technologies to ensure socio-economic and environmental sustainability, as well as resilience, safety, and efficiency in the construction process.
There are many challenges in the reconstruction or rehabilitation of damaged historic buildings, but these challenges can be effectively addressed through the use of BIM, VR, an AI applications, thus students and construction professionals can benefit from this technologies.
The main goals are:
The outcome is a collaborative designing approach for Virtual Reality use for reconstruction of damaged Historic Buildings. The expected results include:
