Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , A functional analysis of two 3D-scanned antique pistols from New Zealand(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) LaRocco, John; Paeng, Dong-Guk; Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Corea del Sur; Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, Corea del Sur[EN] Preservation of historical weapons requirescontinual andcareful maintenance. Digital three-dimensional (3D) scanning can assist in preservation and analysis by generating a 3D computer model. New Zealand presents a specialcase for historical preservation, owing to the rapid import of European goods in a culture previously unexposed to metalworking. This, and the subsequent British colonization, led to upheaval and war.The most intense conflict between British and Maori forces was in the New Zealand Land Wars of the mid-19thcentury.The primary handheld firearms used in this period were black-powder muzzle-loaders, and the varietyof armed factions involved in the war resulted in an eclectic range of weapons used.Two antique muzzle-loading pistols from this period were scanned and analyzed. Insights were gained into the historyof double-barreledmuzzle-loading pistolsand transitional revolvers. The double-barreledpistol was determined to have been a flintlock pistol from a century prior to the Land Wars, later converted to percussion cap ignition. The transitional revolver was an intermediate step between the multi-barrel pepperbox pistol and the “true” revolver, but it remained in use throughout the Victorian era. Both types of firearms were effectively obsolete elsewhere in the world by the time of the Land Wars,but the conflict created a demand for a variety of weapons.While the pistols analyzed in this study are decommissioned and no longer in working order, the 3D models made from the samplesafforded a unique glimpse into New Zealand’shistory. The methodology detailed over the course of the studycan be applied to other historical firearmsin order to facilitate preservation, investigation, and experimentation.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Special Section Preface: Digital heritage Knowledge Platforms(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Aygen, Fatma Zeynep; Davis, Lauren Nicole[EN] Special Section PrefaceItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , 3D survey for the archaeological study and virtual reconstruction of the “Sanctuary of Isis” in the ancient Lilybaeum (Italy)(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Fazio, Leonarda; Lo Brutto, Mauro[EN] In recent years, the use of three-dimensional (3D) models in cultural and archaeological heritage for documentation and dissemination purposes has increased. New geomatics technologies have significantly reduced the time spent on fieldwork surveys and data processing. The archaeological remains can be documented and reconstructed in a digital 3D environment thanks to the new 3D survey technologies. Furthermore, the products generated by modern surveying technologies can be reconstructed in a virtual environment on effective archaeological bases and hypotheses coming from a detailed 3D data analysis. However, the choice of technologies that should be used to get the best results for different archaeological remains and how to use 3D models to improve knowledge and dissemination to a wider audience are open questions. This paper deals with the use of terrestrial laser scanners and photogrammetric surveys for the virtual reconstruction of an archaeological site. In particular, the work describes the study for the 3D documentation and virtual reconstruction of the Sanctuary of Isis in Lilybaeum, the ancient city of Marsala (southern Italy). The Sanctuary of Isis is the only Roman sacred building known in this archaeological area. Based on the survey data, it has been possible to recreate the original volumes of the ancient building and rebuild the two best-preserved floors –a geometric mosaic and an opus spicatum– for a first digital reconstruction of the archaeological complex in a 3D environment.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Geospatial platforms and immersive tools for social cohesion: the 4D narrative of architecture of Australia’s Afghan cameleers(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Rashid, Md Mizanur; Antlej, Kaja; Australian Research Council[EN] This paper focuses on examining the scope of virtual architectural archaeology in forms of digital geospatial platforms and immersive tools such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)tobe used for achieving social cohesion, particularly in a multicultural and multi-ethnic society like Australia’s.In the context of the current global and national concern about Muslims and Islam,as well as for the mistrust towards and distancebetween Muslims and Non-Muslimsin Australia, it is imperative to delve deeper into the contribution of early Muslim pioneers, in this case,the Afghan Cameleers, in the social fabric of colonial Australia. Based on the premise that architecture could bea unique and revealing research frame to gain insight into human values, worldview and material culture, the main aim of thispaperisto address two key issues using virtualarchitecturalarchaeology. Firstly,to demonstrate the applicationof4D capturing and component-based modelling with metadata and paradata regarding the past of the lost architectural heritage sites in remote centraland westernAustralia, also counting on assets such as Linked Open Data(LOD) for further dissemination and use. Secondly, to propose amode todisseminatenew knowledge through digital platforms and VR/ARexperiences to the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums)audiencesand schools regarding the Muslims in Australia.Understanding properly them and their contribution to theAustralian societywouldeventuallyminimise the cultural distance between Muslimsand Non-Muslims in Australia. Greater awarenesscould mitigate the myth of fear and mistrust regarding Muslimsand Islam, widely misunderstood for a long time.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Las intervenciones arquitectónicas en el Palacio del Almirante de Aragón en Valencia (principios del siglo XX)(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Gómez Gil, Antonio Miguel; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio; Departamento de Composición Arquitectónica[ES] El actual Palacio del Almirante de Aragón, en Valencia (España), monumento histórico artístico desde 1944, es el resultado de la suma de varias intervenciones arquitectónicas a lo largo del tiempo. Tradicionalmente y a nivel disciplinar, se ha tomado este edificio como un paradigma de los palacios bajomedievales, construidos en los territorios del antiguo imperio aragonés. Los principales elementos arquitectónicos existentes en este monumento, incluso en época moderna, se han considerado como originales, o al menos ejecutados durante el siglo XVI. Este extremo tiene su explicación en que dichas intervenciones se realizaron “en estilo” y con pericia, tal como se solía hacer en aquella época en nuestro país. Este artículo da cuenta de una serie de obras efectuadas en el edificio, todas ellas desconocidas, durante la primera parte del siglo XX (1902-1935). Estas obras, anteriores a una actuación integral e institucional realizada en 1987, afectaron a su patio, pero también alteraron de forma importante el volumen del edificio. El texto, apoyándose en documentación inédita, identifica y data estas intervenciones, aclarando los autores y los trabajos acometidos. Se presta especial atención al patio central del palacio, como elemento claramente singularizador del monumento. La investigación se ha apoyado, en una búsqueda documental en archivos, públicos y privados, así como en un detenido estudio de los elementos alterados, en visitas al propio edificio. Para comprobar de forma más precisa la evolución y el alcance de las antedichas intervenciones, se han interpretado con modelados gráficos en 3D, tanto en el caso del patio como en el del volumen de todo el edificio. Estos modelados dan una idea con aceptable exactitud de sus distintas fases de transformación hasta adoptar su aspecto actualItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , 3D modelling of a 15th century city gate of Rennes: Portes Mordelaises(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Barreau, Jean-Baptiste; Esnault, Elen; Foucher, Jérôme; Six, Manon; Le Faou, Cécile[EN] The Portes Mordelaises, remnants of the medieval city walls of Rennes, France, has been the subject of several archaeological excavations until 2017. From these excavations, we created a three-dimensional (3D) model of the site reconstructed as it would have appeared during the 15th century, including the surrounding plus the interiors of its famed towers. Once our efforts and results were officially recognised as being of national interest by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, Department of Heritage and the National Museum Service of France, we presented our virtual model reconstruction in an exhibition curated by the Museum of Bretagne, entitled "Rennes, les vies d'une ville" (Rennes, the Lives of a City). This approach to 3D reconstruction of the site served to further study Rennes’ origins, its construction, organisation, as well as its historic relationship to surrounding territories. The main objective of this work was to investigate, using of a significant and comItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Platforms of knowledge: architectural heritage practice and the information age in South Africa(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Barker, Arthur; Swart, Johan[EN] The intellectual basis for preservation and conservation is formed by the study, record and dissemination of the works of humanity. Due to the negative impacts of exponential city growth, through densification and the impact of climate change, more considered design approaches need to be made for the reuse and adaptation of buildings in historical contexts. The fast pace of project design, and implementation, in the 21st century, has fostered the need for directly accessible architectural heritage knowledge. Therefore, architectural heritage practice demands access to curated information to ensure considered, and appropriate, design responses. This is important, not only for heritage and other related practitioners, but also for researchers and students. The advent of the Information Age initiated new methodologies for archiving knowledge. These developments provided architectural heritage practice with extended platforms of knowledge, either born-digital or founded on analogue principItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , A phygital approach to cultural heritage: augmented reality at Regaleira(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Andrade, José Gabriel; Dias, Patrícia[EN] In the last two decades, contemporary society has been conceptualized and discussed around the assumption that digital technologies are its most defining feature. Jean Baudrillard’s take on the Fable of Borges suggests a replacement of the physical world by a virtual experiencing life, setting the tone for a pessimistic and somewhat fearful attitude towards technological development. On the verge of the dissemination of disruptive innovations that can be described under the “umbrella” of Internet of Things (IoT), we observe not a replacement, but a deep and complex intertwining of online and offline experiences, sketching the contours of what can become a phygital society. This alternative conceptualization of our contemporary society, combined with the possibilities of technological development, affords new opportunities for the expression and experiencing of culture, and also for the creative industries. In our research, we explore the impact of one augmented reality (AR) app designeItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Archaeological anastylosis of two Macedonian tombs in a 3D virtual environment(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Stampouloglou, Maria; Toska, Olympia; Tapinaki, Sevi; Kontogianni, Georgia; Skamantzari, Margarita; Georgopoulos, Andreas[EN] Archaeological restoration of monuments is a practice requiring extreme caution and thorough study. Archaeologists and conservation experts are very reluctant to proceed to restoration and indeed to reconstruction actions without detailed consultation and thought. Nowadays, anastylosis executed on the real object is practically prohibited. Contemporary technologies have provided archaeologists and other conservation experts with the tools to embark on virtual restorations or anastyloses, thus testing various alternatives without physical intervention on the monument itself. In this way, the values of the monuments are respected according to international conventions. In this paper, two such examples of virtual archaeological anastyloses of two important Macedonian tombs in northern Greece are presented. The anastyloses were performed on three-dimensional (3D) models which have been produced using modern digital 3D documentation techniques, such as image-based modelling and terrestrialItem type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Levantamiento arquitectónico y análisis arqueológico del castillo de Píñar como punto de partida para su conservación(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-01-28) Benavides López, José Antonio; Martín Civantos, José Mª; Rouco Collazo, Jorge; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad[ES] Este artículo presenta una metodología aplicada para la documentación gráfica, análisis y determinación de los criterios de intervención en la protección y conservación del patrimonio edificado. Uno de los principales riesgos que presentan las intervenciones sobre el patrimonio fortificado en tierra es la falta de una base gráfica óptima. De ahí que el objetivo del presente trabajo sea el conocimiento integral de la fortaleza de Píñar (Granada), realizando el análisis de la secuencia constructiva a partir del levantamiento fotogramétrico SfM (Structure-from-Motion) utilizando cámaras montadas sobre UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), en conjunto con una lectura estratigráfica de paramentos. Este tipo de captura aérea con UAV está transformando los paradigmas en la documentación del patrimonio construido, haciéndola mucho más eficiente y precisa. Esta documentación de gran calidad es la base fundamental para la investigación arqueológica de la evolución de la fortaleza, facilitando enormemen
