TTK University of Applied Sciences (TTK) is participating in the international RESUrRECT-AiD project, which focuses on developing digital solutions for the sustainable rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged cultural heritage and historic buildings.
Running from November 2025 to 2028, the RESUrRECT-AiD project combines augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and BIM technologies to improve damage assessment and rehabilitation planning for historic buildings. The partners are jointly developing new learning solutions that enable the testing of damage simulations and reconstruction solutions for historic buildings in a virtual environment.
According to Olga Ovtšarenko, senior lecturer at TTK and project manager of RESUrRECT-AiD, TTK contributes expertise in engineering education, BIM workflows and digital learning. “The rehabilitation of historic buildings requires research and the use of new technologies,” explains Ovtšarenko.
“To ensure that such buildings meet modern standards and contemporary usage requirements, it is essential to skilfully combine the old with the new. The learning tools developed within the project will broaden the knowledge and competencies of our construction and architecture students in the areas of historic building damage, risk assessment and sustainable reconstruction solutions, drawing on international experience,” adds Ovtšarenko.
As part of the project, the TTK campus building will also be modelled using 3D laser scanning and BIM software. The model will later be used in teaching and research activities.
In addition to TTK, the RESUrRECT-AiD project involves University of Bologna (project lead partner), Tampere University, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and Tallinn University of Technology. The project’s first partner meeting took place in Vilnius in April 2026, while the next meeting will be held at TTK in November 2026.
The RESUrRECT-AiD project is funded through the Erasmus+ programme.
