1. Inheritance and understanding: the significance of architectural cultural heritage protection
(1) Preserving the historical trajectory of the materialized wisdom of human civilization and helping to pass it on
Through the protection of historical buildings, it becomes a symbol that "can evoke the memory of a specific period in distant history."
It helps people objectively understand the true status quo and causes of current social development, know how to maintain a "humble" heart in the face of history, and actively integrate its cultural value into today's life.
It also makes historical buildings a space-time continuum of the development and changes of the relationship between man and land, allowing people to have a clearer outlook and judgment on future development. It can be seen that the protection of historical buildings is also a valuable legacy given by today's mankind to tomorrow.
(2) Protect the diversity of architectural cultural forms in various regions and promote understanding
It not only helps people establish connections with the spiritual world of their ancestors, but also allows future generations to gain a sense of cultural belonging from the region and find a sense of cultural identity.
Build a network of connections between people and things in the relevant context, promote community reconstruction and ethnic cognition, and then promote in-depth understanding between cities and countries.
2. Authenticity and continuity: the focus of architectural cultural heritage protection
(1) Improvement of authenticity: from static reality to process reality
The Venice Charter signed in the 1950s
European Charter on Architectural Heritage 1975
1977 Operational Guidelines for the World Heritage Convention
"Code of Management of World Cultural Heritage"
The authenticity of materials is derived to not only refer to "the building materials used when the building was originally built", but also refers to "the accumulation of history on the building, especially the imprints left on the building by those important historical eras".

Material authenticity (property heritage)
Intellectual authenticity (symbolic heritage)
Value authenticity (spiritual heritage)
(2) Enrichment of continuity: from space activation to resource activation
Charter of Burra, Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, Quebec Declaration, Valletta Principles, Delhi Declaration on Heritage and Democracy - Principle of Sustainability
In 2018, China’s official document on the project for the protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics listed “cultural continuity” alongside “historical authenticity and integrity of style.”
At the end of the 20th century, "continuity" was promoted as the link between heritage and time, heritage and society.

3. Exploration on the application of AI in the authenticity protection of architectural heritage
(1) Digitization of records and integrity of data
Unlike other art fields, data collection on buildings is an arduous task. It must be obtained through on-site inspections, and the cost is high and the capacity is large. Due to limited investigation time and manpower, it is often difficult for the research team to collect complete objective data. Laser 3D scanning technology makes it possible to quickly obtain authenticity data for complex buildings.
(2) Precision in measurement and high efficiency in repair
At present, in the restoration of historical buildings, many methods have been used to use drone mapping, 3D modeling and AI recognition to find the parts that need to be repaired. At the same time, guidance data is provided to improve the speed and quality of real construction through computer virtual construction.
(3) Real-time monitoring and early warning
natural disaster
Earthquakes have the greatest impact on our country
The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 caused serious damage to the Erwang Temple in Dujiangyan, with many buildings collapsing and only a few main halls remaining; the earthquake in Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province caused the main body of Yunyan Pagoda to crack and more than 20 surrounding smaller towers to collapse .
How to protect
Digital information acquisition, spatial database construction and 3D visualization information systems can provide support for building conservation.
To sum up, the application of artificial intelligence technology in the protection of architectural heritage not only makes the digital data of historical buildings more real and complete, improves the accuracy of measurement, promotes the efficient progress of restoration work, but also facilitates real-time monitoring and processing of materials.
Perform micro-change monitoring to provide early warning function to prevent damage to ancient buildings.
4. Application of AI in the protection of architectural cultural continuity
(1) Intelligent management of cultural heritage tourism
Visitors can first understand the main features of the heritage landscape through the virtual tour system
Point cloud registration, point cloud denoising, point cloud sampling
Integrated processing of 2D and 3D data
(2) The serviceability of digital twins for planning and decision-making
Information Mirroring Model" (Information Mirroring Model), which later evolved into the term "digital twin"
(3) The cultural nature of the themed game design experience
With the popularity of themed games, some well-designed game series with ancient buildings as the background are constantly coming out.
"Continuity" requires that in heritage protection, we must not only explore cultural value, but also activate culture and integrate it into modern life in various ways, so that people can experience culture, thereby identifying and inheriting culture (static culture and dynamic culture). Promote the development of culture with the times and let traditional culture radiate new vitality. The concept of "continuity" cultural protection not only broadens the horizons of cultural heritage, but also enriches the content of cultural protection, making the protection of architectural cultural heritage involve urban and rural sustainable development strategies, adaptive renewal and revitalization of historical buildings, and cultural landscape tourism management. , public communication of traditional culture, design of cultural derivatives, etc.
With the gradual broadening of human cultural horizons and the purpose of reproducing cultural diversity and cultural heritage values, “reconstruction” has gradually become a hot topic in the field of international heritage protection.
