Esta pieza ingresó a la colección hace más de un siglo, por medio de una donación privada; a pesar de sus intervenciones, hemos podido reconfigurar su diseño original en función del trabajo comparativo con otros ejemplares similares, reconstruyendo así su contexto y asignación cultural.","PeriodicalId":507976,"journal":{"name":"Ge-conservacion","volume":"334 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Incidence of environmental factors on travertine façade of heritage buildings in the historic center of Cuenca-Ecuador. A test scenario through Digital Imagen Processing","authors":"María del Cisne Aguirre Ullauri, Javier Bernardo Cabrera Mejía, Carlos Ernesto Guerrero Granda, Michelle López Suscal","doi":"10.37558/gec.v25i1.1293","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37558/gec.v25i1.1293","url":null,"abstract":"The problem of architectural heritage conservation in a consolidated historic urban context is of worldwide relevance. In Ecuador, and specifically in Cuenca, there are no specific approaches to evaluate the environmental impact on the heritage deterioration, therefore, an alternative diagnostic of travertine facades is proposed to define the levels of deterioration based on climatic factors through a case study. Two research stages are developed; 1) preliminary diagnosis of the architectural, environmental and anthropic components, using architectural cards and Leopold’s Multivariable Matrix; and 2) quasi-experimental analysis with a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) based on real-time data collection of potential environmental variables to generate deterioration, which focuses on image processing. This technique is gaining momentum because it offers the possibility of studying the characteristics of surfaces through a non-invasive procedure. This paper describes the application of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NVDI) algorithm applied to RGB images known as False-NVDI in order to obtain the deterioration caused by the incidence of environmental factors on the travertine facades. In particular, images of two buildings belonging to the Historic Center of the City of Cuenca were used. The results indicate that this technique has a great potential to determine three levels of deterioration; good, fair and bad. At the same time, it is confirmed that the proposed methodology is an effective and low-cost tool with high potential for short-term application in previous studies and more extensive research prior to intervention.","PeriodicalId":507976,"journal":{"name":"Ge-conservacion","volume":"272 51‐54","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The boots have become an object of socio-cultural relevance, as they were donated to the Club by the player. These boots are more than twenty years old and are made of kangaroo leather. The sole is made up of two layers: the first, thicker, of Phylon (ethylene-vinyl acetate), and the second, thinner and lighter, of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The condition of the sole was extremely unstable, since, due to hydrolysis, the polyurethane had degraded, generating a very accentuated film of whitish crystals. On the other hand, the rubber studs of the football boots were in an extremely high state of degradation and loss. Moreover, the whole assembly was deformed, dirty and poorly adhered. The article describes in detail the materials and techniques used in the restoration, being one of the few dedicated to this problem.","PeriodicalId":507976,"journal":{"name":"Ge-conservacion","volume":"99 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
