Arnold, John D. M.2013-06-072013-06-072013-05https://hdl.handle.net/1794/1289784 pagesThe objective of this project was to investigate the utility of Buildings Information Modeling (BIM) in a Buildings Archaeology approach to the study of the box-constructed first build (c. 1872) and stud-wall framed second build (c. 1892) of the Briggs House in Springfield, Oregon. The use of BIM software ArchiCAD was tested as an aid to the exploration and recordation of structural elements discovered through direct study of the house. The software was found to be highly useful in the coordination and consolidation of building information as it is collected from the field, and for the digital extrapolation from this collected information in the creation of a completed model. The product of this work is a concise, complete, and accurate digital model which may be used for the subsequent production of 2D, 3D, and 4D interpretive materials.en-USrights_reservedSpringfield (Or.)Historic preservation -- Oregon -- PlanningHistoric sites -- Conservation and restoration -- OregonOther
