"2por km2" chozos, estructuras y corrales de piedra en seco en la superficie del término de Tebar, Cuenca
(Sociedad Española de Historia de la Construcción, 2011-10-26) Ruiz Checa, José Ramón; Cristini, Valentina; Dpto. de Ingeniería de la Construcción y de Proyectos de Ingeniería Civil; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha
[ES] Tanto en la península Ibérica (Maestrazgo... Islas Baleares...), como en Europa (Provenza... Liguria...) aparecen «paisajes construidos» con piedra en seco. Se trata realmente de parajes antropizados prácticamente en toda su totalidad, resultado de un afán milenario de domesticación del territorio, a través de estructuras hidráulicas, pistas, cañadas...caminos, bancales, construcciones o recintos. El caso de Tébar, un municipio a 94 km al sur oeste de Cuenca, en Castilla la Mancha, no destaca por la espectacularidad de su arquitectura de piedra en seco. Los bombos de la cercana Tomelloso (95 km al oeste, ya en la provincia de Albacete) hacen eclipsar a aquellos chozos mucho más humildes en dimensiones y geometría.

(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-06-30) Rolim, Renan C.V.S.; Gilabert Sansalvador, Laura; Viñals Blasco, Mª José; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Escuela Politécnica Superior de Alcoy; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
[EN] The Mosteirinho de São Francisco was built around 1635, in a period when the Dutch dominated the northeast of Brazil. It is a building of simple architecture but representative of this singular historical context. It was declared as national heritage in 1966, but today it is abandoned, in an advanced state of degradation, and involved in a judicial process regarding its property. This paper presents the main results of the architectural and conservation studies on the building, as well as the methodology to create a 3D model of its current state as a basis for designing an adaptive reuse proposal that seeks to rescue its heritage values.
3D Point Cloud and GIS Approach to Assess Street Physical Attributes
(MDPI AG, 2024-06) Orozco Carpio, Patricio Rodrigo; Viñals Blasco, Mª José; López González, María Concepción; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Centro de Investigación en Ingeniería Mecánica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación; Centro de Investigación en Métodos de Producción de Software - ProS; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; AGENCIA ESTATAL DE INVESTIGACION; Universitat Politècnica de València
[EN] The present research explores an innovative approach to objectively assessing urban streets attributes using 3D point clouds and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Urban streets are vital components of cities, playing a significant role in the lives of their residents. Usually, the evaluation of some of their physical attributes has been subjective, but this study leverages 3D point clouds and digital terrain models (DTM) to provide a more objective perspective. This article undertakes a microurban analysis of basic physical characteristics (slope, width, and human scale) of a representative street in the historic centre of Valencia (Spain), utilizing 3D laser-scanned point clouds and GIS tools. Applying the proposed methodology, thematic maps were generated, facilitating the objective identification of areas with physical attributes more conducive to suitable pedestrian dynamics. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of urban street attributes, emphasizing the importance of addressing their assessment through advanced digital technologies. Moreover, this versatile methodology has diverse applications, contributing to social sustainability by enhancing the quality of urban streets and open spaces.

[EN] This paper focuses on the use of 3D printing as a tool for the dissemination of Maya architectural heritage. The case study is the Acropolis of La Blanca, the main complex of this archaeological site located in the Peten department, Guatemala. One of the objectives of La Blanca Project was to create a model of the Acropolis as part of the strategy for dissemination and as a didactical resource for the Visitor Center. The documentation of this architectural complex with digital survey techniques allowed to obtain a high-fidelity model of the Acropolis¿ buildings. In order to achieve this goal, it was necessary to develop a methodology for the reverse modelling of the Acropolis, starting from the data obtained by laser scanning. We developed a workflow to create a virtual replica of the Acropolis optimized for 3D printing. This model was first printed in 17 parts by using the FDM technology. Then, it was transported to Guatemala and, finally, it was reassembled and placed at the Visitor Center. Today, this physical replica of the Acropolis is an important resource that allows the visitors to have a complete view of the main complex of the site, which is not easy in the Guatemalan jungle. It also provides an exclusive view of some parts of the Acropolis, already studied by researchers and now protected with a soil layer to ensure their preservation. Moreover, it is a useful resource for supporting dissemination and also serves as a teaching resource for student visitors.
A Burial Grave at Tell Keila, Palestine
(Copernicus Publ., 2020-07-24) Manzano-Fernández, Sergio; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Cristini, Valentina; Hueto Escobar, Alicia; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3; Centre de recherches interdisciplinaires en sciences humaines et sociales
[EN] The recent excavation of the Tell Keila archaeological site in the Hebron Governorate (Palestine) has revealed new burial graves among the already known in the region of Judea (Yezerski, 2013), providing innovative guidelines for understanding the scope of the funeral typology which was characteristic of the Second Iron Age and Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantian periods and their subsequent occupations. 49 tombs have been inventoried in total, among which it is worth noting the largest, number 26, which is located in the immediate surroundings of the Tell. Its rich architecture has enabled a more comprehensive study and comparison, and when the excavation campaign ended in 2018 numerous elements characteristic of the funeral customs, local ways of life at the time, and state of conservation of the construction had been identified. The geometry and spaces were exactly identified with a complete metric and photo-rectified survey of the tomb which took into consideration the limitations imposed on the work by the local socio-cultural and socio-economic context.
A Case Study of a Large Unstable Mass Stabilization: "El Portalet" Pass at the Central Spanish Pyrenees
(MDPI AG, 2021-08) Cobos Campos, Guillermo; Eguíbar Galán, Miguel Ángel; Torrijo Echarri, Francisco Javier; Garzón-Roca, Julio; Dpto. de Ingeniería Hidráulica y Medio Ambiente; Dpto. de Ingeniería del Terreno; Instituto Universitario de Ingeniería del Agua y del Medio Ambiente; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Universitat Politècnica de València
[EN] This case study presents the engineering approach conducted for stabilizing a landslide that occurred at "El Portalet" Pass in the Central Spanish Pyrenees activated due to the construction of a parking lot. Unlike common slope stabilization cases, measures projected here were aimed at slowing and controlling the landslide, and not completely stopping the movement. This decision was taken due to the slow movement of the landslide and the large unstable mass involved. The degree of success of the stabilization measures was assessed by stability analyses and data obtained from different geotechnical investigations and satellite survey techniques such as GB-SAR and DinSAR conducted by different authors in the area under study. The water table was found to be a critical factor in the landslide's stability, and the tendency of the unstable slope for null movement (total stability) was related to the water table lowering process, which needs more than 10 years to occur due to regional and climatic issues. Results showed a good performance of the stabilization measures to control the landslide, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach followed, and which became an example of a good response to the classical engineering duality cost-safety.
A Decrease in the Regulatory Effect of Snow-Related Phenomena in Spanish Mountain Areas Due to Climate Change
(MDPI AG, 2021-06) Lastrada, Eduardo; Garzón-Roca, Julio; Cobos Campos, Guillermo; Torrijo Echarri, Francisco Javier; Dpto. de Ingeniería del Terreno; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Universitat Politècnica de València
[EN] Climate change undoubtedly will affect snow events as temperature and precipitation are expected to change in the future. Spanish mountains are especially affected by that situation, since snow storage is there focussed on very specific periods of the hydrological year and plays a very important role in the management of water resources. In this study, an analysis of the behaviour of the complex snow-related phenomena in the four main mountain regions of Spain in the next 50 years is conducted. The ASTER hydrological model is applied using temperature and precipitation data as basic input, estimated under a climate change scenario. Results show different changes in the maximum and average expected flows, depending on the very different magnitude and sign of changes in precipitation. An increase of flooding episodes may occur as a result of a complex relation between changes in precipitation and an increase in maximum snowmelt intensities that range from 2.1% in the Pyrenees to 7.4% in the Cantabrian Mountains. However, common patterns are shown in a shorter duration of the snow bulk reserves, expected to occur 45 days earlier for the Cantabrian Mountains, and about 30 days for the rest of the studied mountain regions. Changes observed also lead to a concerning decrease in the regulatory effect of the snow-related phenomena in the Spanish rivers, with a decrease in the average snow accumulation that ranges from about 28% for the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada to 42% for the Central System and the Cantabrian Mountains. A decrease in average flow is expected, fluctuating from 2.4% in the Pyrenees to 7.3% in Cantabrian Mountains, only increasing in the Central System by 4.0%, making all necessary to develop new adaptation measures to climate change.
A Master Plan for a Multistratified Spanish Fortress: Guidelines for a Strategic Conservation
(Maney Publishing, 2020-11-01) Mileto, Camilla; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Cristini, Valentina; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
[EN] This text aims to provide a summary of the formal guidelines for the strategic management of a large-scale monumental military complex. In recent years the Castle of Monzon (Huesca, Spain) has called for a strategic planning process within a flexible timescale taking into consideration the issues currently affecting it. The debate between conservation and restoration, its relationship with the surroundings, the land on which it stands, pre-existing elements, possible uses and management are some of the key points discussed. The aim of the master plan was to establish the main strategic axes for the design and implementation of the action plans needed to attain the objectives set. Far from easy, these objectives have been defined following an extensive process of study and analysis carried out by an interdisciplinary team.
A NEW METHODOLOGY FOR THE 3D PHOTOREALISTIC VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE “CASTELLET DE BERNABÉ” (LLÍRIA, SPAIN)
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Portalés Ricart, Cristina; Alonso-Monasterio Fernández, Pau; Viñals Blasco, Mª José; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
[EN] In recent decades, the 3D virtual reconstructions and visualizations of archaeological sites have been commonly used by scientists to better understand the missing structures. They have also been considered as an interesting communication tool for addressing the presentation of these assets to the audiences because virtual immersive environments presentations are an easy and meaningful way to understand the archaeological remains. However, the 3D reconstruction of archaeological sites is challenging, because some of most of the parts of the assets do not exist nowadays. This paper presents a methodology for the the 3D photorealistic virtual reconstruction of the Iberian settlement Castellet de Bernabé (Llíria, Spain).
A peculiar Spanish Timber Floor, the "Revoltón": a Diagnostic Example at the "Palacio del Marqués de Benicarló"
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-09) Diodato, Maria; Macchioni, Nicola; Brunetti, Michele; Pizzo, Benedetto; Nocetti, Michela; Burato, Paolo; Sozzi, Lorena; Pecoraro, Elisa; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Mileto, Camilla; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
The paper deals with the application of the Italian method for assessing on-site and diagnosing timber elements to a distinctive Spanish type of horizontal structure called "revolton" i.e. jack arch floor. As in Spain does not exist a specific regulation for the on-site diagnosis of timber elements, this analysis was performed according to the Italian standard UNI 11119. Due to the peculiar features of the jack arch floor some modifications were applied to the method. During spring 2012 the authors had the opportunity to carry out a pilot project by making a diagnostic analysis on a whole three stories building. The building, Marquees of Benicarlo's Palace, located in Spain in the town of Benicarlo, between Barcelona and Valencia, was erected during the second half of the XVIII century. It maintains the original internal distribution and structure, and it is characterized by precious ceramic decorations on walls and floors. All the horizontal structures studied inside the palace were jack arch floor except the roof structure that was also made of timber. The results of the project described in the paper clarify the specific problems of the horizontal structures and the roof surveyed during the fieldwork. These results are accompanied by several plans that represent the information recovered on-site and lead to a complete assessment of the structures. The plans include the grading based on wood defects, the local moisture content of wood, the superficial and inner decay due to insects and rot and the deformation of the joists. In this way it was possible to locate the areas of the palace where more problems were concentrated, and better understand the causes and origin of the damages.
A preliminary study of the praetorium of the Zenobia-Halabieh city
(Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio de la UPV, 2008) Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Mileto, Camilla; Guimaraens Igual, Guillermo; Cristini, Valentina; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
The Praetorium of the Byzantine City of Zenobia, erected by Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, is an entirely preserved three-level arched construction. Its architect, Isidore of Miletus, who was involved in work on the Hagia Sophie of former Constantinople, created a solid building from the only material available, plaster, whose ashlars mould to the same effect as its mortar and coatings. Solely the vaults, with an interesting Byzantine block, were erected with bricks, which were probably transported on the river Euphrates running through the city, to the construction site. This paper describes the preliminary study of the restoration of this unique building given its antiquity and uniqueness throughout architectural history.

The increase in cultural tourism has revealed the vulnerability of the heritage resources during the phase of tourism exploitation and, thus, the need to set limits and to establish visitor management tools to ensure the conservation of the heritage resources and the visitors’ satisfaction. This work focuses on the determination of the recreational carrying capacity of the Fort of Santiago monument located on the Island of Chikly (Tunisia), situated in the Northern Lagoon of Tunis, which is declared a Nature Reserve for its ornithological interest. Furthermore, it has always attracted people from many civilisations, as evidenced by the Phoenician, Punic, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Spanish and Turkish remains discovered there. The Fort of Santiago is one of the most important monuments of 16th century. Emperor Charles I of Spain ordered the construction of the fort in 1535. A few years later, the fort passed into Turkish hands. Subsequent to transformation processes and changes of use, it was abandoned in the 19th century. In the 21st century, the monument was restored for tourism purposes. The results of this assessment specifically highlight the greater fragility of the island in relation to the Fort of Santiago, and the need to control the visitor use level. Thus, one group of 20 people per day would be an acceptable volume of visitors. Tourism management guidelines and environmental, cultural and social performance standards and monitoring indicators are also identified to guarantee the conservation and wise use of this valuable heritage site.

El objetivo del estudio es analizar el sistema sostenible de Rincón de Ademuz, donde perdura en el tiempo un poblado que permanece asentado desde hace dos mil años.
A Sustainable Approach for the Refurbishment Process of Vernacular Heritage: The Sesga House Case Study (Valencia, Spain)
(MDPI AG, 2021-08-31) Mileto, Camilla; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Llatas, Carmen; Soust-Verdaguer, Bernardette; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; AGENCIA ESTATAL DE INVESTIGACION; COMISION DE LAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEA
[EN] The refurbishment of traditional vernacular architecture is currently of interest for the conservation of heritage, historic landscape and cultural landscape, as well as for its potential benefits in the field of environmental sustainability. The carefully selected materials and techniques used in the refurbishment of a traditional dwelling in Sesga (Valencia, Spain) maintain the local construction techniques while causing the least possible environmental impact, saving on transport and transformation and construction energy. This article uses LCA to showcase this contribution, examining three scenarios: the first option is the refurbishment of the case study using natural traditional materials and techniques; the second presents a hypothetical refurbishment using widely used industrial materials; and a third option looks at the demolition of the existing building and the addition of a new construction with widely used industrial materials. This comparison has shown where and why the first option is, broadly speaking, the most sustainable option in environmental, sociocultural and socioeconomic terms.

(IATED, 2021-03-09) Cristini, Valentina; García Soriano, Lidia; Hernández Navarro, Yolanda; Baró Zarzo, José Luis; Diodato, Maria; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Universitat Politècnica de València
[EN] This text aims to be a general reflection about the implementation of a virtual classroom, for the subject of Architectural Composition, as a compulsory subject in the framework of "Architecture Degree", teached in the Higher Technical School of Architecture, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. Considering the general circumstancies (caused by Coronavirus, above all starting from spring 2020) the experience can be understood as an interesting tool to help others theorical subjects involved in the same framework. In this context, the text proposes to carry out a synthesis of details and methods structured in the subject 's dynamics because of the sanitary circustancies . In this frame the subject's program has been modified to to fit with specific mechanisms of remote teaching. In a scenario of a real " moment of crisis", the subject has been fully adapted and organized to new teaching frameworks. In this context, the text describes the methodological guidelines developed for the creation of a virtual classroom and, at the same time, the text proposes to figure out the tools used to achieve f teaching and learning objectives with the help new technologies. This adaptation has implied a series of limitations and difficulties, as well as a whole range of opportunities and pedagogical resources to be used in a new way. In addition, there are several common aspects between face-to-face teaching and on line strategies that the paper tries to define and clarify.
Above the Ravines: Flood Vulnerability Assessment of Earthen Architectural Heritage in Quito (Ecuador)
(MDPI AG, 2022-12) Trizio, Francesca; Garzón-Roca, Julio; Eguíbar Galán, Miguel Ángel; Bracchi, Paola; Torrijo Echarri, Francisco Javier; Dpto. de Ingeniería Hidráulica y Medio Ambiente; Dpto. de Ingeniería del Terreno; Instituto Universitario de Ingeniería del Agua y del Medio Ambiente; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Universitat Politècnica de València
[EN] Floods represent one of the most threatening risks for earthen architectural heritage. Developing risk assessment tools is considered crucial to mitigate the risk and to protect heritage buildings. Due to its hygroscopic nature, earthen architecture is generally considered to be vulnerable to water, requiring a specific analysis. This paper proposes a vulnerability assessment method for earthen buildings in flood-prone areas. Based on the evaluation of the susceptibility of the building's components and characteristics, the method allows for quantifying the vulnerability of the assets, in non-monetary terms. An application of the methodology is carried out assessing a selection of earthen construction in Quito Historic Centre (Ecuador). The results show the influence of each component in the global vulnerability of the earthen buildings. The response of different construction techniques and the importance of the maintenance of heritage buildings is exposed. Vulnerability assessment methods at the meso-small scale constitute the foundation for risk assessment. Thus, this study aims to provide a significant assessment tool that can be used for further analysis and future lines of research, aiming to protect cultural heritage that is at risk.
La Acrópolis de Chilonché (Guatemala): Crónica de las investigaciones de un patrimonio en riesgo en el área maya
(Alinea Editrice, 2014) Muñoz Cosme, Gaspar; Vidal Lorenzo, Cristina; Merlo, Alessandro; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
[EN] Intensive research carried out at the Acropolis of the ancient Mayan city of Chilonché, which begun as a result of the fortuitous discovery in 2009 of a large zoomorphic sculpture hidden inside its basement, has revealed the great quality of its buildings, one of which retains an exceptional room decorated with murals, which was closed by the Mayas themselves at the end of the Classical period. However, the widespread archaeological looting to which the Acropolis has been subjected has greatly hampered the work of research and conservation on this remarkable cultural heritage. In this regard, the application of new documentation technologies through the use of the laser scanner and the latertreatment of the information for the use of 3D techniques has allowed a detailed analysis which will help to ensure their appropriate preservation
Actions For The Enhancement Of Heritage. The Case Of The Town Walls Of Morella (Castellón, Spain)
(Copernicus Publ., 2020-07-24) Portela i Valls, S.; Viñals Blasco, Mª José; Muñoz Cosme, Gaspar; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
[EN] Morella is an archetypical medieval town that is home to many heritage buildings, protected by fortified walls and crowned by an imposing castle. Located in a mountainous area, this town is one of only four examples in the Valencian Region (Spain) that retain the entire defence perimeter. This defence heritage has been decisive not only in shaping the urban layout of the town, but also in the local lifestyle and traditions of the place: living inside the walls means being protected from the weather, but also inhabiting a limited environment and having social and cultural connotations. The process of enhancing the value of heritage buildings involves studying, analysing and understanding the elements they are made up of with the aim of proposing new uses based on their significance, their characteristics, the environment and social needs. To address this objective, the present work has carried out an architectural analysis of each of the towers and gates of the town walls, which has made it possible to study their characteristics and detect the potential for the interpretation of the heritage buildings in each section. The result is the `Walls Walking Tour¿, a proposal for a public visit that divides the walled perimeter of Morella into five thematic areas that each offers different types of routes, activities and relationships with the environment. In short, this initiative contributes to the enhancement and cultural diffusion of Morella's defence heritage, and brings buildings and their history closer both to the local population and to visitors.

[EN] Universities all over the world are implementing a competence-based type of teaching and learning to guarantee certain student learning outcomes at the end of the studies. To reach these student outcomes, active methodologies should be included in teaching practice at the same time that carefully designed rubrics might be used for the evaluation of the students. Despite the fact that teachers introduce more and more authentic tasks in the classroom, these activities are not still well employed by all the University teaching staff. The goal of this work is to propose a guideline of activities to promote the self-learning of the effective communication outcome by the students. For that purpose, rubrics to assess the outcome proficiency developed by different institutions have been collected and analysed. From those rubrics, six main areas of proficiency have been identified: personal disposition towards communication, quality of the presentation content, structure of the speech, verbal language, non-verbal language and presentation tools. Finally, for each of these areas, keywords to find out effective activities on Internet to improve the proficiency of a piece of the outcome have been proposed.
El acueducto de Els Arcs de Manises (Valencia): hipótesis constructiva y cronológica
(Departmento de Publicaciones del CSIC, 2023-01) Marín Sánchez, Rafael; López González, María Concepción; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Dpto. de Construcciones Arquitectónicas; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
[ES] El acueducto de ¿Els Arcs¿, enclavado en el ¿barranco de Salt de l¿Aigua¿, en el término municipal de Manises (Valencia), es la mayor infraestructura hidráulica de estas características que se conserva en la Vega de Valencia. En los últimos 200 años, se le ha atribuido un posible origen romano, aunque sin el aval de fuentes escritas y estudios técnicos. En esta contribución se propone acotar con mayor rigor su antigüedad en el marco temporal de las últimas etapas de la dominación andalusí. Para ello y con la intención de paliar la escasez de referencias documentales, se ha intentado determinar las fases constructivas del acueducto desde una aproximación interdisciplinar que incorpora: el análisis de las fuentes escritas, incluidas las noticias indirectas sobre las crecidas del río, para intentar así datar los refuerzos y reconstrucciones de la obra; el estudio formal y metrológico; la caracterización técnica de sus fábricas y la identificación de posibles paralelos tipológicos. Para disponer de una información gráfica precisa, se realizó la toma de datos del acueducto con un escáner láser 3D y se complementó con su análisis parietal, mediante la observación directa.
