El análisis estratigráfico constructivo aplicado en casos específicos: los Baños Árabes de Hernando de Zafra (Granada) y la Galería Superior del Patio de los Arrayanes de la Alhambra de Granada

Abstract

This text presents two quite distinct cases of the application of stratigraphic wall analysis. In the first case, the study of the Arab Baths at Hernando de Zafra, the stratigraphic study was part of a previous, wider study and project to restore and recover the baths, with the possibility of proposing the demolition of a series of more recently added elements. The stratigraphic study had two objectives: firstly, to document all elements to be eliminated later with the restoration work; and secondly, to facilitate the reading of the different formations that the baths had had throughout their existence. In the second case, the study of the Galería Superior del Patio de los Arrayanes de la Alhambra, the stratigraphic wall analysis was part of a wider study, the historic construction study. This study was developed by a team consisting of an historian, a technical architect, two architects and a geologist, and is presented as an example of a pluridisciplinary study where work was genuinely done in a team and was not simply the result of the combined sum of different studies.
