Integration of cultural heritage and BIM technologies

The transition from the first versions of 3D modelling to BIM has revealed significant limitations of these technologies in terms of following local cultural traditions. The BIM software products available on the current market include libraries of details limited to modernist stylistics. Incorporating elements of Jordanian cultural heritage into these libraries is difficult. A survey of Jordanian architects and designers revealed that this problem poses a significant obstacle to the wider adoption of BIM in architectural design practice.
