The Application of BIM in the Restoration of Historical buildings

Along with economic development, the consciousness and the ability in our country of historical reconstruction increase gradually. The use of information technology for modeling, design and archive in historical reconstruction is of great significance. The emergence of BIM (building information model) technology can effectively promote the ancient architecture of information integration and the collaboration between the parties. It can also avoid the understanding error of design. Using BIM to build ancient building component library can also reduce the burden of the future similar engineering design modeling work. Articles explore the current problems to overcome in ancient building repair, introduce the BIM technology, and then expounds the importance and advantages of BIM technology in historical reconstruction. At last, this paper proposes the whole idea of using BIM technology to repair and build the historical building.
