BÓVEDAS TABICADAS / TILE VAULTS



BÓVEDAS TABICADAS / TILE VAULTS



En la parte de albañilería de la asignatura Técnicas Constructivas y Materiales para la Conservación del MPA, Rafael Marín Sánchez nos ha presentado uno de los más recomendados libros que tratan sobre bóvedas tabicadas:




"Construyendo Bóvedas Tabicadas. Actas del Simposio Internacional sobre Bóvedas Tabicadas". Zaragozá, A., Soler, R. y Marín, R. Editorial UPV. Valencia, 2012.



















Del libro destaco el capítulo sobre "Guastavino y el eslabón perdido" escrito por Fernando Vegas y Camilla Mileto, ya que he tenido la suerte de ver gran parte de su obra durante mi estancia en los EEUU. Obra absolutamente recomendada para todo aquel interesado en la construcción de bóvedas tabicadas.




 





Aprovecho para recomendar también uno de los libros que me traje conmigo: "Guastavino Vaulting". En mi post  "My favorite NYC places" podeis ver fotografías de las construcciones más destacadas que todavía existen en la Gran Manzana. Muchas de estas todavía permanecen entre las sombras a la espera de su puesta en valor. Mucho más valorada se encuentra su obra en Boston donde incluso tienen una página web con walking tours:

Kent Diebolt, de Vertical Access en NY, ha contribuido, y aún hoy continua, a que la obra de Guastavino se ponga en valor, se proteja y forme parte del patrimonio estadounidense. En su página web y blog podéis leer más al respecto:





- Technology Highlights:
Guastavino Tile Ceilings, Domes and Vaults






- Building a Vault in the Style of Rafael Guastavino

Manor House - Telscombe Village

  Manor House - Telscombe Village  England  ESTUDIO HISTÓRICO / HISTORICAL STUDY : - Telscombe Village: - Introducción / Introduction : Telscombe village is set unobtrusively in a valley within stunning downland. The small village remains surprisingly remote and isolated given its close proximity to the urban coastal development at Saltdean, Telscombe Cliffs and Peacehaven. The settlement is linear in form running north-south. The village is accessed by car from the C7 Lewes to Newhaven road along a long, narrow country lane, which then runs through the village and peters out into a public footpath, which runs towards Saltdean over the Downs. The buildings are tightly arranged around the road, which gives the village a compact feel. The houses themselves although tight to the road do not appear at all cramped. There is a mix of house types, sizes and uses of buildings within the village. There is the village hall, a farm, a youth hostel, a church and residential buildings...
