The TwinGEO Framework
TwinGEO is a conceptual framework for understanding and building Digital Twin Systems for territory, infrastructure, and the built environment.
A Digital Twin is not a single model, a single platform, or a single software product.
It is an integrated system where reliable digital assets, real-world processes, and continuous feedback converge to support better decisions.
TwinGEO organizes this complexity through two complementary structures:
- Domains, which represent the real-world systems being modeled
- Layers, which describe how digital twins evolve from static data into operational decision systems
The purpose of TwinGEO is simple:
to help professionals think in systems, not in isolated tools.
Digital twins are built when disciplines connect — not when software features accumulate.
Why TwinGEO?
Most technical training focuses on learning tools independently:
- GIS without engineering workflows
- BIM without territorial context
- Hydrology without integration into infrastructure planning
- Data models without operational decision support
The result is common:
- disconnected models
- fragmented projects
- incomplete digital transformations
TwinGEO provides a structured mental model to align data, processes, and reality.
From Territory to Decision
The TwinGEO Framework supports the full lifecycle:
- Representing real-world assets
- Designing and planning systems over time
- Monitoring change and performance
- Integrating knowledge into decision-ready twins
This is the foundation of Digital Twin Systems.
