On July 5, 2021, the building of the Thermenmuseum Heerlen will be mapped with a 3D scanner. The building, which will be completely demolished, is one of five pilot projects within Digital Deconstuction (DDC). Under the leadership of the Province of Limburg, 14 European project partners from France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are developing a digital software platform that can define materials in buildings for reuse and enable circular construction.
Green Transformable Building Lab (GTB Lab) from Heerlen is one of the 14 partners in this project developing a Digital Deconstruction Platform and coordinating the test of DDC Technica modules on 5 pilot sites (buildings in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Luxembourg). The 3D scanner scans the surface of the building and based on those scans GTB Lab makes a 3D model, the so-called circular Reversible BIM model 'Durmisevic'.
The scanning is done under the supervision of GTB Lab and Luxembourg project partner BIM-Y. In collaboration with Blockmaterials (also Dutch partner in DDC), the data is stored in a materials database.
