El análisis estratigráfico constructivo y el proyecto de restauración arquitectónica

Abstract

Stratigraphic analysis is being applied to architectonic fabrics since two decades with the aim of researching them and propose a hypothesis of the constructive phases of the building. Besides, this type of analysis represents a period of reflection for the architectural project. Stratigraphic analysis of architecture offers a very complete idea of the material data that can be preserved or cancelled depending the architect’s criteria. These criteria are based upon the architect’s sensibility, knowledge, intention, will, etc. Stratigraphic analysis neither gives any indication or advice about the most convenient type of intervention nor guarantee the conservation of stratigraphic data. Indeed, the same stratigraphic analysis may generate very different and varied restoration projects. This paper tries to discuss about the questions and the several project options that lay behind the making of an architectural stratigraphic analysis.
