HBIM Implementation in Architectural Heritage: A Multitemporal Case Study of the Church of La Sang in Llíria

The conservation of architectural heritage poses significant challenges in buildings characterised by complex construction sequences, cumulative transformations and fragmented documentation, where traditional methods are insufficient to coherently integrate geometry, historical information and stratigraphic analysis. This study proposes and applies a multitemporal Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) workflow aimed at reconstructing and managing the historical evolution of architecture, using the Church of La Sang in Llíria (València, Spain) as a case study characterised by the superposition of Islamic, Gothic and contemporary phases. The methodology combines documentary and archaeological analysis, in situ stratigraphic observation and high-resolution terrestrial laser scanning as the geometric basis of the HBIM model. Historical phases are integrated as structural components of the information model, with explicit documentation of interpretative hypotheses and associated levels of reliability. The results show that the proposed approach enables the identification and reinterpretation of spatial and constructive relationships not previously described, the critical assessment of existing historical hypotheses, and the generation of coherent three-dimensional reconstructions even in contexts with incomplete information. The resulting documentary archive facilitates diachronic comparison of phases, ensures traceability of constructive elements and supports the production of reliable graphic and analytical documentation, establishing itself as a valuable tool for historical research, heritage management and the planning of future conservation interventions.
