Stereotomy
This book deals with the general concepts in stereotomy and its connection with descriptive geometry, the social background of its practitioners and theoreticians, the general methods and tools of this technology, and the specific procedures for the members built in hewn stone, including arches, squinches, stairs and vaults, ending with a chapter discussing the open problems in this field. Thus, it can be used as a reference book in the subject, but it can also read as a compelling narrative on this subject, one of the main branches of pre-industrial technology. Construction in hewn stone requires the use of geometrical methods and tools to assure that individual stones, either blocks or vou...

Science and Digital Technology for Cultural Heritage - Interdisciplinary Approach to Diagnosis, Vulnerability, Risk Assessment and Graphic Information Models
The scientific and technological advances that influence the protection of cultural heritage are developing at an ever-increasing pace. Systems to explore, research and analyse their materiality, to control the different scopes, or to represent and model them have reached an unprecedented dimension in recent decades. The Network of Science and Technology for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage aims to promote collaboration between the agents of these systems, in order to facilitate the sharing of experiences and to foster technology transfer, with the common goal of contributing to the conservation of Cultural Heritage. In the context of the TechnoHeritage Network, the fourth edition of th...
Las iglesias asturianas de Pravia y Tuñón: arqueología de la arquitectura
Se reúnen en este volumen los resultados del análisis arqueológico de las iglesias de San Juan Evangelista de Santianes de Pravia y de Santo Adriano de Tuñón, incluyendo la datación de las maderas de la primera de ellas. Estos trabajos se han efectuado dentro del proyecto de investigación "Análisis arqueológico de la arquitectura altomedieval en Asturias" (Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica, Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica 2004-2007).
Las técnicas constructivas de la arquitectura pública de Augusta Emerita
El objetivo principal de esta obra ha sido la sistematización tipológica de las técnicas constructivas de los edificios públicos de Augusta Emerita , según un sistema de registro que utiliza los instrumentos metodológicos de la arqueología de la arquitectura para el análisis de las características formales y técnicas. Esencialmente, consiste en el examen técnico de las obras históricas de carácter público sobre la base de la creación de tipologías restringidas a ámbitos territoriales regionales, a partir de los análisis estratigráficos de los paramentos
The Art of Vaulting
Some of the highest and widest vault constructions produced in the Middle Ages are located in the Mediterranean area. Outstanding buildings with remarkable vaults and buttressing, such as the Cathedral of Majorca, are evidence of a lively technology transfer and contemporary developments. International experts trace the complex processes of Medieval design and construction. They research structural patterns in the processes involved, analyze building methods, and relate their findings to historic documents. The approach of combining field research with the study of literary sources provides a fresh look at the impressive monuments and shines new light on technological advances and construction technology of the time.

Digital Analysis of Vaults in English Medieval Architecture
Medieval churches are one of the most remarkable creative and technical achievements in architectural history. The complex vaults spanning their vast interiors have fascinated both visitors and worshippers alike for over 900 years, prompting many to ask: 'How did they do that?' Yet very few original texts or drawings survive to explain the processes behind their design or construction. This book presents a ground-breaking new approach for analysing medieval vaulting using advanced digital technologies. Focusing on the intricately patterned rib vaulting of 13th and 14th century England, the authors re-examine a series of key sites within the history of Romanesque and Gothic Architecture, usin...
La cartoixa de Portaceli (1272-2022)
Portaceli, degana de les cartoixes hispanes, va viure la seua esplendor al segle XV, quan es va convertir en una de les més influents del regne de València i, fins i tot, de la Corona d’Aragó, la qual cosa va enriquir el seu patrimoni arquitectònic i artístic. Per commemorar el 750 aniversari d’una institució que encara està viva i serveix als mateixos objectius i finalitats pels quals fou fundada –segueix regint-se per les ‘Consuetudines Cartusiae’, les normes establertes al segle XII–, es presenta un recull d’una vintena d’estudis ‘ad hoc’ bastits per investigadors de distinta procedència acadèmica, els quals versen sobre variades temàtiques al voltant de Portaceli, des de l’estudi del seu ric patrimoni i la seua història, fins a formes de posar-la en valor i donar-la a conèixer mitjançant les noves tecnologies. Una contribució excepcional per al seu coneixement que enriqueix les monografies dedicades fins ara a aquesta cartoixa.
