The HBIM methodology in the study of heritage properties, Case of Hacienda Isla Bejucal, Baba, Ecuador

Abstract

Heritage architecture represents the historical memory of peoples, is part of the national heritage and encourages cultural tourism. Therefore, it is a right of every citizen to access and disseminate it, however, in Ecuador there are abandoned assets with a high degree of deterioration, because of ignorance, lack of maintenance, as well as the use of inappropriate technologies in the tasks of intervention, conservation and management. The analysis of the case study Casa Hacienda Isla El Bejucal (Baba, Ecuador), considered a patrimonial asset according to the official inventory and current file No. IBI-12-02-52-000-000002 of the year 2012, illustrates this situation. Information is collected through literature review, and the inclusion of methods and techniques such as field observation, interviews with key actors and assessment data sheets. It also seeks to know similar experiences and realities, to make an information management model through the HBIM methodology, therefore, the three-dimensional model of the patrimonial asset is built through parameters of families that make up the levels LOD 100, LOD 200 and LOD 350. These products provide fundamental information for the disciplines involved in HBIM management and the actions of conservation, dissemination, management, and integration of architectural projects, such as those associated with the houses of individual haciendas, but also of those cocoa farms in the Vinces area, which define a circuit of architectural, urban, social, and cultural interest.
