El análisis estratigráfico constructivo como documentación de la materialidad y guía para su conservación en el proyecto de restauración: las Torres de Serranos de Valencia y la Torre del Homenaje del Castillo de Cofrentes (Valencia)

Abstract

This text presents two cases where the application of stratigraphic wall analysis represented, in addition to the possibility of constructing a hypothesis of construction phases, the tool used for the study of the materiality of the monument (materials, construction techniques, etc.) and a guideline for carrying out a more materiality-conscious restoration project and work. In the first case, the study of the Torres de Serranos, which are constructed entirely of stonework, the interpretation of material data meant a combination of the stratigraphic analysis method with chronotypological criteria. In the second case, a tower of the Homenaje del Castillo de Confrentes, in addition to stratigraphic wall analysis the restoration project was also carried out. On this particular occasion it was possible to reflect on the conservation of stratigraphic data as fundamental elements in the conservation of the building’s materiality.
