Abstract

This research paper examines the heritage value of construction documentation and processes via Virtual Reality (VR), with a focus on the Sydney Opera House (SOH). It underscores the importance of comprehending and documenting transient construction techniques for heritage valuation. Utilising VR, the study offers an immersive portrayal of the SOH's construction, emphasising its innovative methods, craftsmanship, and environmental challenges. The paper draws from the Digital Heritage Construction project, showcased at the Heritage Exposition of the ICOMOS General Assembly 2023. This project featured two VR simulations, developed through analysing 200 original shop drawings, historical photographs, and site minutes and reports. The first simulation illustrates the formwork systems used for the SOH's iconic sails, while the second elucidates the assembly methods for the precast vaulted roofs, including the operation of the telescopic erection arch and the installation of concrete segments. The paper examines the novelty of this approach through a survey conducted at the Heritage Exposition. Analysis of the survey's result reveals VR's effectiveness in deepening the appreciation of architectural heritage's intangible qualities, providing new insights into the historical construction processes of the building and their cultural significance.

数字遗产建设：通过虚拟现实技术检验建筑文件和建筑过程的遗产价值

本研究论文以悉尼歌剧院（SOH）为重点，通过虚拟现实（VR）技术研究了建筑文件和流程的遗产价值。它强调了理解和记录瞬息万变的施工技术对于遗产评估的重要性。利用 VR 技术，该研究对悉尼歌剧院的建造过程进行了身临其境的描述，强调了其创新方法、工艺和环境挑战。本文借鉴了国际古迹遗址理事会 2023 年大会遗产博览会上展示的数字遗产建设项目。该项目包括两个 VR 模拟，是通过分析 200 张原始车间图纸、历史照片以及现场记录和报告开发的。第一个模拟展示了 SOH 标志性船帆所使用的模板系统，第二个模拟则阐明了预制拱形屋顶的组装方法，包括伸缩架拱的操作和混凝土段的安装。本文通过在遗产博览会上进行的一项调查，研究了这种方法的新颖性。对调查结果的分析表明，VR 能够有效加深对建筑遗产非物质品质的认识，为了解建筑的历史建造过程及其文化意义提供新的视角。

期刊介绍： Frontiers of Architectural Research is an international journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, and case studies to promote rapid communication and exchange among scholars, architects, and engineers. This journal introduces and reviews significant and pioneering achievements in the field of architecture research. Subject areas include the primary branches of architecture, such as architectural design and theory, architectural science and technology, urban planning, landscaping architecture, existing building renovation, and architectural heritage conservation. The journal encourages studies based on a rigorous scientific approach and state-of-the-art technology. All published papers reflect original research works and basic theories, models, computing, and design in architecture. High-quality papers addressing the social aspects of architecture are also welcome. This journal is strictly peer-reviewed and accepts only original manuscripts submitted in English.
