Traditional Architectures Along the Cultural Route of James I of Aragon in the Province of Valencia: Leveraging Laser Scanning and BIM for Heritage Management

Sandro PARRINELLO, Alberto PETTINEO

Abstract. This research explores the traditional architectures along the cultural route of James I of Aragon in the province of Valencia, with a particular focus on the implementation of Laser Scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies for heritage management. The study centers on a prominent case study, the Almonecir Castle located in the province of Castellon, near Valencia, where a comprehensive 3D model has been constructed using BIM to showcase the castle’s evolutionary stages from its Arab origins to its current state. The research highlights the benefits of adopting laser scanning and BIM technologies in heritage management, specifically in the context of the Almonecir Castle. By digitizing and preserving the architectural evolution of this significant historical site, these technologies play a crucial role in safeguarding cultural heritage and enhancing visitor experiences. Moreover, the study sheds light on the potential for widespread application of laser scanning and BIM in managing and conserving other traditional architectures along the cultural route of James I of Aragon in the province of Valencia and beyond. In conclusion, this research exemplifies the transformative impact of laser scanning and BIM technologies in preserving and interpreting historical architectural treasures. The study advocates for the integration of these advanced tools in heritage management practices, facilitating a more profound understanding and appreciation of the cultural heritage that has shaped the province of Valencia throughout its illustrious history.
