Then in chapter 2, it defines the terminologies concerning architectural heritage recording and the preservation phases starting with preparing the site up to promoting the building and maintaining it. In chapter 3, the research will show the most efficient web and desktop applications in Egypt and worldwide analyzing their pros and cons. In chapter 4, the research compares the integrated system in building: Building Information Modeling (BIM) with a similar proposed system: Preservation Information Modeling (PRIM). Chapter 5 will introduce the proposed system, overview it and show its added value in the field of virtual heritage recording. The final chapter will set recommendations for future research in that field. |
