On the 9th of January 2020, Prof. Diofantos Hadjimitsis and Dr. Athos Agapiou of the Excelsior2020eu & ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence team participated in the presentation of the new funded Integrated Project “portal for heritage buildings integration into the Contemporary built Environment” which took place at the Cyprus Institute premises. The project PERIsCOPE aims to design and develop an innovative Building Information Modelling platform for the identification, classification, documentation and renovation of heritage buildings. PERIsCOPE will enable the exploitation of state-of-the-art techniques in the scientific fields of Building Information Modelling (BIM), remote sensing, terrestrial and aerial 3D modelling techniques, and non-destructive onsite testing. PERIsCOPE platform is addressing specific challenges identified by the stakeholders that have cultural and economic impact on Cyprus’ society, including public authorities and policy makers (Town Planning and Housing Department, Department of Antiquities, Municipalities) and professionals (architects, engineers, archaeologists and chartered surveyors).
