Abstract (EN): The generation of three-dimensional models of urban environments using procedural modelling is presented as being a solution that allows financial and temporal gains, maintaining an acceptable visual fidelity level. Nevertheless, the modelling of anchor buildings ( or monumental), identifying certain urban areas, needs a more careful modelling, due to the elevated level of detail necessary, using, generally, manual modelling. This paper proposes a data model to be used on an architecture for high level modelling of monumental buildings, through the introduction of additional knowledge from textual information. The firsts results shows that the data model is flexible enough to build distinct models of churches and other buildings. This data model also provides a high level three-dimensional model that can be used by other procedural modelling solutions to create detailed monumental buildings. The results also demonstrate that it is possible to use simple text to create a rudimentary 3D model, showing the way to further investigation, allowing non-specialized users to increase effectiveness using a procedural modelling system.
