The Project
The project aims to integrate Social Sciences to the development of 3D digital maps, for a semantic modelling of Architectural and
Cultural Heritage
MOEBHIOS aims to develop an innovative Value-Based Decision-Making approach on historical Built Heritage on the cross-border contexts of clustered territories.
The improvement of Information Systems for territorial geo-mapping with Multi-attributes Values from Social Sciences fields will be pursued, developing advanced Information Ontologies specifically suited for landscape and Built Heritage.
​
Considering the multidisciplinary aspects of analysis related to BH at the territorial scale, MOEHBHIOS will consider 4 main macro-areas concerning BH: social, archaeological, economic and cultural relevance.
​
The scientific quality of resulting Information Ontologies for historical Built Heritage is envisaged by development agencies for territorial governance and the strengthen of local communities in Third Countries, fostering the establishment of good-practices and standard protocols, in particular by NGO and local agencies, on a dynamic monitoring of tangible Heritage through EU and above.
Clustered territories
Characterized by social, economic and environmental compression affecting local identity
Clustering conditions reflect through tangible and intangible architectural signs. The alteration of socio-economic conditions in these territories increases the changing of governance projections, with unpredictable scenarios.
The project will focus on territorial identification and information of Built Heritage. 3D visual representation and digital graphics will be shaped by the design of dynamic structures of values.
Objectives
1
Increase the standardization of interdisciplinary values in relevance for Cultural Heritage safeguard
SO1. To cross-analyze and interconnect sectoral values (social, cultural, economic, archaeological) on Built Heritage in a system of Multi-Attribute Values (MAVs) at the urban/territorial scale. (WP2)
SO2. To extend the geo-mapping of Built Heritage sites on territory from research references, open access databases, archival information, and fast survey integration. (WP3)
2
Advance the adoption of digital Information Ontologies for Cultural Heritage studies sustainability
SO3. To connect MAVs hierarchies and geo-data for achieving reliable Information Ontologies on Built Heritage. (WP4)
SO4. To validate the query results of the information system regarding Value-Based Decision-Making (VBDM) correspondence from the simulation on the preliminary reported Pilot Heritage context. (WP1)
3
Propose a protocol for widespread Built Heritage challenges of conservation
SO5. To test the protocol in non-EU border case study, considering the potential impact of Heritage evaluation for preservation practices in a complex architectural context of dynamic territorial compression. (WP1)
SO6. To address replicability and export methods/outcomes on on-going European case studies. (WP4).
Palestinian Heritage
Widespread Built Heritage in Palestine is assumed as key example of a complex ecosystem of cultural built sites at the territorial scale, undergoing to an obsolescence of heritage relevance under the impact of geo-political clusters’ compression.
From 1960s, territorial densification has conditioned an unstable relationship between pre-existent Built Heritage and developing policies. Architecture has assumed a “deformed” aspect into the traditional landscape, causing the loss of its multi-attribute values. The tradition of rural sites and community architecture has been substituted with contemporary architectures of poor formal and constructive quality, within the lack of a value-based classification and without the technical update of territorial maps.
