Use of the digital twin in historic monuments: The case of the church of San Antonio Abad

Abstract

[ES] Given the importance of the conservation of cultural property and the use of the digital twin as a tool for the representation of its life cycle and enhancement, we will carry out a digitisation project approach on the Church of San Antonio Abad and its protective environment, located in the city of Valencia (Spain) and currently considered an Asset of Local Relevance. A theoretical approach is made to how the digital twin could be created, taking into account the various existing techniques, namely 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and BIM methodology, to achieve the complete digitisation of the monument. This first approach allows us to understand the evasion of this property and its challenges so that the digital twin can be realised in the future.
