This study examines the role of Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) in preserving the architectural heritage of the Old City of Aleppo, focusing on a case study of the Al-Matbakh al-Ajami building. The study aims to provide an integrated framework for using HBIM for documenting and managing historical buildings. This is done through multiple stages and working according to the levels of detail by developing the 3D model from LOD200 to LOD500, which contributes to improving restoration and maintenance processes.
