Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Patrimonio, educación e identidad: una mirada desde la educación secundaria(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-11-04) Ontiveros Llorens, Irene[EN] Architectural heritage has increasingly become a vital cultural testimony and a cornerstone of collective identity, with its restoration and adaptive reuse offering opportunities to safeguard its intrinsic value. This comprehensive approach encompasses not only iconic monuments but also urban fabrics, although vernacular architecture remains significantly undervalued. This underscores the imperative to integrate monumental and traditional architecture into a cohesive strategy for preserving urban heritage. In the educational context, heritage is recognised as a powerful pedagogical resource for fostering identity formation. However, despite notable legislative and methodological progress, a limited perspective persists one that often overlooks the importance of arts education. This omission undermines a holistic educational approach, which, aligned with global guidelines on sustainability and social development, such as the 2030 Agenda (UN), seeks to actively involve students in the appreciation and conservation of heritage.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , La reutilización adaptativa del patrimonio construido: procesos para su inventariado. El caso de Portugal(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-12-26) Galán-Caro, Domingo; García-Casasola, Marta; Loren-Méndez, Mar; Cunha Ferreira, Teresa[EN] In the context of today s economic and environmental crisis, the reuse of disused heritage buildings is a key strategy for promoting sustainable architectural interventions. From this perspective, this study aims to advance knowledge on good practices in heritage rehabilitation through the design and development of processes for formalising inventories. The main objective is to identify and evaluate contemporary rehabilitation in Portugal through the creation of inventories, underscoring their value in safeguarding built heritage. To achieve this, a database of examples of architectural rehabilitation is generated using a structured, multiphase research protocol. This enables the categorization and systematisation of the collected information and offers an up-to-date overview of heritage rehabilitation in the Portuguese context.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Del diagnóstico a la cultura del proyecto. Veinte años desde la restauración de la Torre Pirelli de Milán(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-05-09) Multari, Giovanni[EN] The restoration of the Pirelli Skyscraper necessitated after a notorious plane crash in 2002 became a key example of architectural intervention in modern architecture with heritage status. Even two decades after its completion, the process stands out for extraordinary research and analysis efforts involving studying existing documentation, observing and measuring spaces, materials, and construction techniques. This ongoing investigation reaffirms that essentiality, as thought by Gio Ponti, remains a fundamental principle of architectural design until today. The intervention strategies of Corvino+Multari, accompanied by a technical and scientific team, have breathed life into Ponti s masterpiece while stimulating a broader reflection on approaches to complex architectural monuments. Engaging critically with its architecture, the project positions itself between restoration and intervention, both philological in its approach and contemporary in spirit. The meticulous restoration of the curtain wall, fixtures, and mosaic tesserae exemplifies this.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Structural vulnerability and need of permanence. The Chapel of San Vicente de Paul, Santiago de Chile(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-12-26) Elgueta Strange, Hernán A.; Chang Lou, Jing[EN] Recovering architectural heritage poses challenges when buildings are susceptible to natural disasters. The San Vicente de Paul Lazareto in Santiago, Chile, built between 1872 and 1875, features unreinforced masonry and a vaulted wooden roof that forms coffered domes. Due to the threat of earthquakes, the restoration project aimed to preserve as many original elements as possible, limiting reconstruction to what was essential to ensure the building s structural stability and durability. This text reflects on optimizing intervention strategies from technical and aesthetic perspectives in accordance with the building s characteristics and values.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Rehabilitación frente a demolición: el caso de DeFlat Kleiburg en Ámsterdam(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-12-22) Casals Pañella, Joan; Domènech, Marta; Vima Grau, Sara; Maruri Mendoza, Nicolás; Casqueiro Barreiro, Fernando[EN] This article reflects on the legacy of post World War II residential architecture in Europe through the case study of the rehabilitation of the DeFlat Kleiburg building (2017), located in Amsterdam s Bijlmermeer district. In particular, it presents a critical review of the obsolescence affecting large modern housing developments originally conceived to meet the massive need for housing in the postwar period, as well as of the contemporary strategies and motivations behind their rehabilitation. The text explores debates and practices that see the inhabited environment as a crucial component of our built heritage, highlighting the need to preserve residential complexes as instruments to strengthen social cohesion. It also provides a detailed analysis of the transformation carried out at the Kleiburg, based on an interior rehabilitation strategy aimed at safeguarding the original composition, finishes, and structure, while simultaneously promoting functional flexibility and typological and programmatic diversification.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , The Teatro Guimerá in Santa Cruz de Tenerife: conservation of its ornamental repertoire(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-12-26) Sánchez-Fernández, Antonio-J.; Guitián Garre, Mª Fernanda; Santos Santana, José Yeray; Díaz Parrilla, Silvia[EN] The Teatro Guimerá is a valuable reflection of the transformations that Tenerife society has undergone since the mid-nineteenth century, as a result of economic development and the establishment of the bourgeois ideal of socialization and artistic expression. The first project for the theatre was commissioned to Manuel de Oraá in 1848, and the building later underwent various construction phases, with the architect Antonio Pintor´s intervention in the early twentieth century being particularly noteworthy. The typology of the building follows the Italian model, with a horseshoe-shaped auditorium and tiered boxes. This text provides a detailed overview of this ornamental background, aimed at characterising the constituent materials and reconstructing their material evolution.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Protective Treatments for Historic Bricks: The Case of The Grand Continental Hotel in Cairo (Egypt)(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-12-26) Fernandez, Federica; Nicolini, Elvira; Montagno, Roberta; Dabouh, Ihab; Zagarella, Federica; Mamì, Antonella; Armetta, Francesco; Ciaramitaro, Veronica; Saladino, Maria Luisa[EN] In this study, three water-based nanostructured protective coatings were tested on bricks from the Grand Continental Hotel in Cairo, partially demolished in 2017. The aim was to identify sustainable conservation strategies for bricks intended for reconstruction. The comparative evaluation, preceded by material characterization using XRF and XRD, included contact angle measurements, colorimetric analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The coatings were assessed for water repellency and visual impact. Results show that P1, a fluorinated siloxane, ensured good protection without color change and allowed water runoff on inclined surfaces. P2 caused slight darkening, while P3 showed IR issues, excluding it from further use. All coatings, being water-based, are safer for the environment and restorers. This study supports informed product selection and offers a replicable model for sustainable heritage conservation in Egypt.
