Applied Geometry - Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Hola! El professor Albert Samper busca alguns estudiants de 3er, 4art o 5è curs que vulguin realitzar un conveni de pràctiques de crèdits optatius per tal d'ajuda-lo a reailtzar unes tasques de redibuixat d'elements arquitectònics. Interessats posseu-vos en contacte amb ell. Salutacions.

La URV desarrolla una nueva metodología que permite determinar objetivamente la tipología de un arco arquitectónico La investigación la ha realizado el grupo de investigación Applied Geometry de la universidad tarraconense

El grup de recerca Applied Geometry publicaran el treball titulat "Determination of the geometric shape which best fits an architectural arch within each of the conical curve types and hyperbolic curve types: the case of Palau Güell by Antoni Gaudí" a la prestigiosa revista Journal of Cultural Heritage. La revista francesa amb un factor d'impacte 1.533 es sitúa al Primer Quartil del rànking de revistes d'arquitectura. Els autors del treball són: Albert Samper de la UPA, Genaro González del DEM i Blas Herrera del DEIM.

Abstract del treball:
We provide a method to objectively determine which is the geometric shape which best fits an arch of a heritage building within each of the conical curve types –ellipse, hyperbola, parabola– and hyperbolic curve types –catenary, hyperbolic cosine, Rankine–, and we also provide an objective measurement of that fit. This method does not involve mechanical, constructive or structural processes; it only involves standard geometric processes, numerical processes, computing, statistics and 3D data acquisition. Using these techniques we generate a method which allows an objective determination of an arch’s geometry in a heritage building. For architectural and historical reasons, and also due to discrepancies regarding the arch’s geometry, as an application case for this method we have chosen the arch on the façade of Palau Güell (1886-1890) in Barcelona, a heritage building designed by Antoni Gaudí.
