On this episode of BIM After Dark Live we welcomed back the great Paul Aubin to talk about rebuilding Volterra, Italy... in Revit.
For nearly a decade, Paul has been involved in an effort hosted by the Volterra Detroit Foundation to preserve, document and share the history and culture of Volterra, Italy. Volterra is a hilltop town in the Tuscany region continuously inhabited for over 3000 years. Deploying modern tools to study and document the historical and cultural fabric of the city has been the focus of several international workshops conducted their since 2016. Paul has been privileged to have been part of all of these workshops first as an attendee and more recently as one of its facilitators. We’ll discuss the work, the tools, the procedures and the lessons learned.
