Research paper thumbnail of Cambios en la tipología de las pequeñas iglesias españolas en América por motivos estructurales: cómo se redujo la vulnerabilidad sísmica en el Chile actual

El presente estudio constata la existencia en la actualidad, en una región de Chile (región de Arica y Parinacota), de la práctica totalidad de las iglesias parroquiales que fueron construidas por la colonización española (en los siglos XVI y XVII). La permanencia de estas iglesias acredita que ha sido posible proporcionar cierta seguridad estructural sísmica a las construcciones del patrimonio histórico. El estudio histórico-constructivo que se presenta, aporta las claves de cómo hacerlo: inicialmente los españoles incorporaron a su sistema estructural europeo una serie de modificaciones claves para reducir la vulnerabilidad sísmica y, además, estas construcciones han llegado hasta el presente porque sus usuarios intervinieron en ellas manteniendo las estructuras origina...

Research paper thumbnail of Architectural Heritage on Gis Support. Knowledge and Dissemination

The free access to the computer sources, disseminated in different places and supports, facilitates an increasingly amount of information. This huge quantity of stuff does not correspond to its accuracy or precision. In reference to the graphic documentation of the architectonic heritage, something similar occurs. Nowadays we can have photographs or plans of any corner in the world, so we could rebuild in 3D the most visited highlights in our planet. This fact has been facilitated by the IT (Information Technologies), not only in the data collection by means of cameras or other devices as phones or tablets, but in its dissemination on the internet by means of webs and blogs. Two different lacks can also be found. On one hand, the source treatment from the data collection to the exhibition and on the other hand, its hierarchy or classification, so quality inf...

Research paper thumbnail of Guadalupe, Spain: The Organic Growth of a Monastery and the Morphology of a Medieval Village

It is important for its architectural and artistic heritage, its history, and its impact on Spanish America. In 1993, the monastery achieved the highest symbol of respect: inclusion in the World Heritage List. However, at that time, there were no plans that illustrated the different stages of the growth of the monastery and the village. In this article, we present a number of previously unpublished plans, which depict the urban networks and the morphology of Guadalupe. These plans reveal the construction of an integrated historical landscape following seven centuries of history and interactions between humans and their environment. In addition, they portray the destruction of an important part of this heritage in recent years under the Regional Government of Extremadura because of a lack of urban planning.

La investigación se centra en el estudio de las iglesias de la región de Arica y Parinacota, actualmente perteneciente a Chile. Se trata de pequeñas iglesias de construcción típicamente española (funcional, formal y constructivamente) en las que se han venido introduciendo una serie de modificaciones estructurales clave. La sola constatación de su permanencia, pone de manifiesto que ha sido posible mejorar la vulnerabilidad sísmica de sus estructuras de fábrica. El propósito de este artículo es identificar cuáles han sido las estrategias sísmicas introducidas en América, a partir de un estudio pormenorizado de la geometría, materiales y sistemas estructurales de 30 de estas iglesias, contrastado con la tipolog...

En este artículo se presentan los resultados del trabajo de campo realizado al mes del evento sísmico sobre los restos constructivos del terremoto en el centro histórico de Amatrice. Se ha constatado que las estructuras originales de los edificios de este centro histórico patrimonial habían sido intervenidas (obras de ampliación, reforma, cambios de uso…) utilizando materiales y sistemas nuevos, como hormigón y acero, generándose sistemas estructurales mixtos anómalos, que no están adecuadamente considerados en el estado del conocimiento. Los resultados del estudio realizado demuestran la mayor vulnerabilidad sísmica de estas construcciones.

Both aims are proposed in this work. On one side, a systematic treatment of the documentation, being transferred to a unified database. On the other side, the exhibition, by means of a data basis in GIS support. As a sample the experience started in Caceres, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, is shown. Achieving this objective was a fact, thanks to adding efforts, having arguments and agreements, which was clearly difficult to get.
