Charles Thompson, an associate at Quinn Evans, presented at the Autodesk University 2024 conference on utilizing digital twin technology for restoration and digitization efforts at the Michigan State Capitol.

As a preservation architect, Charles explains how tools like Autodesk Tandem create digital twins—interactive models that integrate key historical and operational data about a building. These models enhance traditional preservation techniques by incorporating real-time data, such as temperature and humidity, enabling facilities teams to monitor and protect delicate features like the decorative finishes. By leveraging technology to preserve historic structures, Quinn Evans is streamlining access to critical information and ensuring historic spaces are preserved for future generations.
