Digitally reimagining a UNESCO World Heritage icon: The Palace of Westminster

Discover how one of the world’s most iconic heritage buildings is being transformed into a rich, intelligent digital asset. This session reveals the digitalisation process of the Palace of Westminster – from 19th-century Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin drawings to one of Europe’s largest and most detailed heritage BIM models.

Learn how advanced surveying, point cloud capture and innovative modelling techniques have enabled an unprecedented level of accuracy for a Grade I listed building, overcoming complex geometry and limited access.

Join us to see how digital innovation is reshaping heritage practice, proving that cutting-edge BIM and centuries-old conservation challenges can work hand-in-hand, and creating a digital legacy that will support the stewardship of this historic estate for generations to come.
