Description
Summary:In the context of urban sustainability and the development of resilient cities, the use of 4D geospatial data and the integration and association of building information with geographical information are of considerable interest. Achieving this integration is particularly significant in the scientific field from a technical standpoint but poses significant challenges due to the incompatibility between the two environments. This research proposes various methodologies for the effective integration of BIM/GIS data by analyzing their pros and cons and highlights the innovative aspects of the integration between these systems. Starting with the use of commercial software that has enabled the integration of a building’s 3D model within a GIS environment (this system is particularly useful for its ease of management and the potential for practical applications), this study progresses to an experimental virtual/augmented/mixed reality app developed by the authors that allows for the virtual integration of a building with its territorial context. It concludes with an innovative methodology that, by using the customizable and extensible libraries of the Cesium platform, facilitates the integration of structural data within a 4D geospatial space. This study demonstrates the feasibility of integrating BIM and GIS data despite inherent incompatibilities. The innovative use of Cesium platform libraries further enhances this integration, providing a comprehensive solution for intelligent and sustainable urban planning. By addressing the challenges of incompatibility, the final solution offers critical insights for a deeper understanding of evolving urban landscapes and for monitoring urban expansion and its environmental impacts.
