Abstract

This chapter delves into the preservation of 20th-century industrial heritage, focusing on the safeguarding of anonymous industrial buildings through digital cataloging. The authors present a historical-relational approach that emphasizes the importance of recognizing the intrinsic values of industrial legacy and developing specific safeguard strategies. The study focuses on thin shell roofs, a significant structural innovation applied in Italy between the 1930s and 1960s, and proposes a methodology for creating a digital catalogue of these elements. The catalogue is designed to support the cataloguing of industrial buildings at a territorial scale, with a specific addendum for paradigmatic building components. The authors also discuss the limitations of the IFC conceptual model and the need for further development to align it with the CIDOC CRM ontology for broader interoperability. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential of digital tools in enhancing the preservation and valorization of industrial heritage.
