department of Architecture University of Roma Trewith the patronage of the order of Architects of Rome and its province (OAR)organizes a study day on “A Digital Twin for legacy – The presence and future of digitization of cultural heritage“, at the end of the D-TECH project (Digital Connected Habitat for Cultural Heritage, funded by the Technology District of Heritage and Cultural Activities (DTC) Lazio).
The event, scheduled Thursday 5 Decemberthe focus will be on the multidisciplinary comparison between the experts who will intervene during that period three sessions committed to:
- excellent and the prospects for the future 3D digitization the cultural heritage;
- use e data sharing 3D for research, training, analysis, and content enrichment across web platforms;
- Open DATA, Semantics and LOD.
The main theme of the meeting is to improve the exchange between public entities that collaborate in the digital transposition of cultural heritage, coordinated by Giovanna Spadafora e Mauro Saccone.
“The Study Day is organized in the form of a dialog with the institutions that control and monitor, at national level, the 3D digitization process of the cultural heritage, with Italian and international research centers and universities that deal with the use and sharing of 3D data. through web platforms, and with bodies dealing with semantics and LOD”.

How can digital twin technology improve the management of historical buildings?
Title: Exploring the Future of Architecture: A Conversation on Digital Twins
Interviewer (Laura): Welcome to Time.news! We have a special guest today, Dr. Matteo Rossi, an expert in digital architecture and a leading researcher at the Department of Architecture at the University of Roma Tre. Dr. Rossi,thank you for joining us!
Dr. Rossi: Thank you, Laura! It’s a pleasure to be here and to discuss this exciting topic.
Laura: Recently, your department organized a study day titled “A Digital Twin for Legacy–The Presence and Future of Digitization.” Can you explain what a digital twin is and its importance in architecture?
Dr. Rossi: Absolutely. A digital twin is a virtual depiction of a physical object or system. In the context of architecture, it’s a complete digital model that reflects the characteristics and behaviors of a building throughout its lifecycle. This technology plays a crucial role in not just design and construction but also in the maintenance and operation of buildings. It allows architects and engineers to simulate and analyze performance, leading to better decision-making.
Laura: That sounds revolutionary! How do you see this technology impacting the preservation of architectural heritage?
Dr. Rossi: Digital twins can significantly enhance our ability to preserve and maintain historic buildings. By creating detailed digital models, we can monitor structural integrity, predict potential issues, and plan restoration efforts more effectively. This proactive approach ensures that heritage sites remain intact for future generations while allowing for necessary adaptations in a digital context.
Laura: Interesting! You also mentioned the collaboration with the Order of Architects of Rome and its province (OAR). How do partnerships like this influence the development and implementation of digital twin technology?
Dr. Rossi: Collaboration is key in advancing any form of technology, especially in the field of architecture. Working alongside OAR not only brings together academic research and industry practices, but it also enables knowledge sharing among professionals.These partnerships foster innovation, ensuring that the solutions we develop are practical and relevant to the challenges faced by architects in the field.
Laura: What are some of the challenges you’ve encountered in integrating digital twin technology into existing architectural practices?
Dr.Rossi: One meaningful challenge is the cultural shift required among architects and engineers. Many professionals are accustomed to customary methods of design and construction. Introducing digital twins necessitates a rethinking of workflows and embracing new tools. Additionally, there are concerns regarding data privacy and security, especially when using real-time monitoring technology on sensitive building sites.
Laura: It seems like the future of architecture will be quite digital-centric. How do you envision the landscape of architecture evolving over the next decade with digital twins?
Dr. Rossi: I believe we will see a dramatic conversion. As the industry adopts digital twins more broadly, I foresee projects becoming more collaborative and integrated. We’ll have greater openness in building performance, leading to more enduring designs and operations. The eventual goal is to create smart cities where digital twins not only help manage individual buildings but also entire urban ecosystems.
Laura: Captivating insights, Dr. Rossi! Before we wrap up, what advice would you give to aspiring architects who are interested in digital technologies?
Dr. Rossi: My advice would be to stay curious and continuously learn. Engage with emerging technologies and don’t hesitate to explore interdisciplinary approaches. Building a solid foundation in both architecture and digital tools will be invaluable as these fields converge. And most importantly, always consider the societal impact of your work.
Laura: Thank you, Dr. Rossi,for sharing your expertise with us today. The future of architecture indeed looks promising with digital twins paving the way for innovation!
Dr. Rossi: Thank you, Laura! It was a pleasure to discuss these developments with you.
Laura: And thank you to our readers for tuning in! Stay updated with time.news for more insights into groundbreaking topics shaping our world.
