Abstract
This paper discusses new methods for digitally valorizing a heritage by proposing the inclusion of sensory and atmospheric dimensions within Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) workflows. The age of digital transformation has afforded unprecedented tools through immersive technologies and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with which to enrich heritage beyond its geometric documentation. Instead of reframing or transforming the experiences of cultural heritage, we propose to turn to a poetic-sensory model with an awareness of the ambient as the mediation between the physical and experiential dimensions. Through a critical literature review and analysis of HBIM projects in Tunis (Tunisia) and Nantes (France), we both take stock of current practices and suggest future possibilities for defining ambient and in-tangible knowledge using HBIM as the modality. Importantly, our Research supports the evolution of digital twins to encompass ambient twins, to document, capture and ultimately portray emotional attachments and cultural significance of heritage places. The proposed model is currently being developed within the framework of a joint PhD. The case studies in Tunis and Nantes aim to identify relevant tools and methods to capture, store, and integrate atmospheric data into HBIM environments.
