Abstract
Digital Twins models were used basically to connect heterogeneous data and to allow the dialogue between different disciplines. But Digital Twin can also be considered a visual interface for complex information system, for simulating, monitoring, analyzing processes in order to define management strategy and sharing information. Thus, a Digital Twin can also be represented by a simplified 3D model as long as the level of detail respond adequately to analysis to be performed. In this paper we present the methodological process to define a fast generation of Digital Twin of churches using ChurMa (Church Maker), an algorithmic tool that allows you to obtain a 3D model of different types of Churches based on semantic decomposition and configurational rules. Starting from a preliminary study of many Churches in Campania aimed at identifying the appropriate level of detail suitable for reading by macro-elements, we derived the shape grammar rules used as input data to best adapt the parametric model to different compositional solutions. The main research goal is to define a parametric model, quickly adaptable to most of churches in Campania. We are testing ChurMa to evaluate potential and limits in order to improve the tool. We are working on the user-friendly interface definition to allow the use of ChurMa even to unskilled users and to promote dissemination in different fields of applications.
