Graphic restoration analysis of a roof from XVI century in the church of Santiago in Cáceres

Abstract

The search and integration of various architectural surveying methods aims to achieve a better understanding of architectural space in order to make it known. In this particular case, it focuses on a partial detail of the Church of Santiago in Caceres, specifically a section of the roof that deviates from the unified design by Gil de Hontanon, spanning from the apse to the entrance. The knowledge and graphic expression of a heritage element are crucial for its dissemination and protection. The process followed for data collection and subsequent architectural graphic representation allows historical knowledge to be conveyed through images, which often remain inaccessible to the general public. The precision of the results obtained through scanning is compatible with the personal understanding of the space, which requires constant reflection and physical proximity to the site, engaging all five senses. This approach enables a reasoned capture and processing of the acquired data.
