Abstract
Thanks to the use of non-invasive techniques and remote sensing in a 19th century building, it was possible to demonstrate that said building is a lost part of the Cáceres wall. This wall was believed to maintain the straight line from a known section, but remote sensing makes it clear that at that point the wall makes a break creating a door of which there was no record. Once this premise was confirmed, an ideal reconstruction hypothesis was developed. For this, the work base was taken on the data collected in an exhaustive data collection process, which launched millions of control points and facilitated in theorizing the original state of this lost section. The HBIM methodology greatly facilitated the process, and will allow for possible modifications with an IFC file as advances are made in that area. Finally, the research proposes an architectural project path that takes into account the data obtained remotely, and that achieves the inclusion of this part of the city in cultural interest and, of course, in a protected and cataloged area.
Highlights
Locating and recovering the hidden heritage of cities requires a new look, as it is about changing established knowledge
The first was that the original construction was unknown, there were elements in the house that was that the original construction was unknown, there were elements in the house that visually pointed to a relationship with the wall, these were neither cataloged nor studied
It was possible to detail a sharp change of material to 2.4 m, which is understood as the original rock or foundation of the wall at this point in the city, something that, until now, had not been known, and that greatly facilitates our the understanding of this unique (a)
Summary
Locating and recovering the hidden heritage of cities requires a new look, as it is about changing established knowledge This new look is provided by new technologies that allow for taking more precise data from the areas to be studied. This section was not documented in the historical sources nor cataloged in the current planning instruments, as it remained hidden among constructions that had been attached to it over time, and it was thought to have disappeared because it was not accessible physically This type of intervention has a great impact on the valuation and conservation of cultural heritage as it allows for a non-invasive way to have a comprehensive view of the monuments, helping to locate and study remains that are difficult to access, and as a result to catalogue and preserve them
