Abstract
Historic structures are affected by numerous degradation processes driven by a complex system of interconnected and mutually influencing factors. Preserving these monuments is a multidisciplinary endeavour that extends beyond one-time interventions, necessitating a comprehensive methodology that involves various stakeholders, expert consultations, monitoring tools, and impact assessments. Limitations arise due to communication barriers and difficulty in translating and transferring experience among disciplines, often compromising the collective ability to define the best possible conservation strategies.Recent advancements in 3D modelling and data management technologies offer collaborative platforms for information sharing. However, the complex interfaces of these tools often limit their accessibility, making them exclusive to specialists. Integrating Spatial Computing could address these challenges by fostering intuitive engagement and enhancing accessibility and depth in interdisciplinary interactions. This letter outlines initial efforts in using spatial computing to tackle the challenges of built heritage conservation and presents a vision for its future development.
