  • Implementing BIM on Conservation Heritage Projects: Lessons from Renovation Case Studies
    Implementing BIM on conservation heritage projects: Lessons from renovation case studies Abstract Purpose: Heritage or Historic BIM, often referred to as HBIM, is becoming an established feature in both research and practice. The advancement of data capture technologies such as laser scanning and improved photogrammetry, along with the continued power of BIM authoring tools has provided the ability to generate more accurate digital representations of heritage buildings which can then be used during renovation and refurbishment projects. Very often these representations of HBIM are developed to support the design process. What appears to be often overlooked is the issue of conservation and how this can be linked to the BIM process to support the conservation management plan for the building once it is given a new lease of life following the refurbishment process. Approach: The paper presents a review of the context of conservation and HBIM then subsequently presents two case studies of how HBIM was applied to high profile renovation and conservation projects in the UK. In presenting the case studies, a range of issues is identified which support findings from the literature noting that HBIM is predominantly a tool for the geometric modelling of historic fabric with less regard for the actual process of renovation and conservation in historic buildings. Findings: Lessons learnt from the case studies and from existing literature are distilled to develop a framework for the implementation of HBIM on heritage renovation projects to support the ongoing conservation of the building as an integral part of a BIM based asset management strategy. Five key areas are identified in the framework including Value, Significance, Recording, Data Management and Asset Management.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.

  • Snow Hill Station Prospectus
    STATIONS AS PLACES DRAFT Opportunity Prospectus An integrated vision and delivery masterplan for Birmingham Snow Hill Station BIRMINGHAM SNOW HILL STATION March 2021 FOREWORD Introducing the concept of Stations as Places The Stations as Places programme aims to promote local railway stations as community ‘hubs’ rather than simply access points onto the rail network. The vision is to develop local railway stations as an asset highly valued within the community, contributing to economic growth and acting as a hub for creativity, heritage and social amenity. The Vision “We will develop stations as quality gateways between communities and the railway, supporting the changing needs of our passengers, residents and visitors. Stations in the West Midlands will be community assets, supporting the wellbeing and development of the areas they serve through involving local community and business.” ~ West Midlands Station Alliance (WMSA) Mission Statement What does the prospectus do for Birmingham Snow Hill Station? There is an important role for the railway to play in both the economic and social regeneration of the local areas which our stations serve. This Opportunity Prospectus sets out the economic, social and geographic landscape of the area around the station and highlights some of the opportunities for commercial development, partnership working, inward investment and community regeneration. We have included a profile of Snow Hill station in this document and looked at different types of activity neighbouring the station, from development in the surrounding area to the travelling public and local authorities using existing assets in different ways. Snow Hill lies in the Snow Hill area of Birmingham city centre and acts as a major gateway to the city centre and the surrounding areas.

  • Alan Perkins Transcript
    Alan Perkins 28/01/2015 Interviewer: David Richardson Interviewer: I Respondent: R Audio 1 00:00 I So this is David Richardson interviewing Alan Perkins. Erm Alan can you tell me a little bit about your background in your early life? 01:13 R Yea I was born in a nursing home in Marston Green in 1944 and it was a private one obviously because that was just before the National Health Service came into being and then I lived the first twenty four years of my life in Doris Road in Sparkhill which is just off Shell Green Lane. My grandparents had bought their house, I think it was in 1924, and they’d moved from South Grove off Heathfield Road in Handsworth which is a back to back really and they came to live there, I think they always, my mum always used to say because she moved into Doris Road with them in 1924. I think they paid about £750 for the house and I think it was a mortgage, with a mortgage of just over £500, amazing fact really but that was it. And then yea my dad was away in the Air Force for quite a long time when I was little. In fact he was ill immediately after the war, he had a sort of nervous breakdown because he were in the RAF and they were working them towards the end of the war and huge long day time shifts and he went into hospital to recover so I didn’t really get to know my dad until I was ooh at least eighteen months old.
