    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-5/W1, 2017 GEOMATICS & RESTORATION – Conservation of Cultural Heritage in the Digital Era, 22–24 May 2017, Florence, Italy NEW METHODOLOGIES FOR THE DOCUMENTATION OF FORTIFIED ARCHITECTURE IN THE STATE OF RUINS F. Fallavollita a, A. Ugolini a a Dept. of Architecture, University of Bologna, Viale del Risorgimento, 2, 40136 Bologna, Italy - (federico.fallavollita, andrea.ugolini)@unibo.it KEY WORDS: Castles, Laser Scanner, Digital Photogrammetry, Architectural Survey, Restoration ABSTRACT: Fortresses and castles are important symbols of social and cultural identity providing tangible evidence of cultural unity in Europe. They are items for which it is always difficult to outline a credible prospect of reuse, their old raison d'être- namely the military, political and economic purposes for which they were built- having been lost. In recent years a Research Unit of the University of Bologna composed of architects from different disciplines has conducted a series of studies on fortified heritage in the Emilia Romagna region (and not only) often characterized by buildings in ruins. The purpose of this study is mainly to document a legacy, which has already been studied in depth by historians, and previously lacked reliable architectural surveys for the definition of a credible as well as sustainable conservation project. Our contribution will focus on different techniques and methods used for the survey of these architectures, the characteristics of which- in the past- have made an effective survey of these buildings difficult, if not impossible. The survey of a ruin requires, much more than the evaluation of an intact building, reading skills and an interpretation of architectural spaces to better manage the stages of documentation and data processing.

Methods of siege warfare and siege defense before and after the advent of artillery are compared. Literary research conducted describes evolutionary changes made in the engineering design of fortifications. The Venetian influence in the design of Famagusta's defensive structures due to the progression of Fourteenth to Sixteenth century military warfare demonstrates the effect engineering technology has on society.

  • The Red Castle of Castellorizo: the Island’S Strategic Significance and the Castle’S Historical Representations
    Defence Sites II 173 The red castle of Castellorizo: the island’s strategic significance and the castle’s historical representations M. Zotos Architecture School, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Abstract This paper aims to present the Knight’s Castle on the island of Castellorizo by analysing its history and construction, thus to compare its current situation with historical references. In the 14th century, the Knights of St. John reached Castellorizo on their way to Rhodes. The strategic and commercial reasons why the Knights settled on an island far away (110km) from their headquarters in Rhodes are going to be analysed thoroughly in this paper. What remains today from the medieval fortifications on the island, includes a tall tower (17.5x22m), surrounded by a well-built outer wall at the north. These fortifications are enhanced by three smaller circular towers: 2 of them placed in the north while the other one is situated east of the big central tower. The central tower is reinforced by a scarpa in the south; an element to be investigated for its existence and chronological construction. The archaeologist Albert Gabriel having visited the island in 1916 proposed some important representations of the St. Nicolas castle. Specifically, in his representation of the castle, he suggests that the port’s fortifications were significantly extended including other constructions (pavillon, passerelle, poterne, courtines) do not currently exist. Gabriel’s representation of the castle is going to be compared with its current condition through sketches, old photographs and 3d models examining and analysing the evolution of the island’s fortifications.

    SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF MERLONS IN ANCIENT FORTIFIED BUILDINGS Erica LENTICCHIA1, Eva COÏSSON2, Daniele FERRETTI3 ABSTRACT The paper investigates the seismic vulnerability of a typical element of the fortified architecture: the merlons. Indeed, the last seismic events in Italy have caused severe damage to a wide range of historical buildings, in some cases even for low values of peak ground acceleration. Among those, the crenellations typical of historical fortified buildings were particularly affected. Based on previous works, in which the seismic damage phenomena on the fortified building typology were collected and catalogued, the merlons proved to be particularly vulnerable elements. For this reason, the present work focuses specifically on the damage mechanisms suffered by these protruding elements, in order to understand their behavior in case of earthquake, to quantify their vulnerability and to provide instruments for their seismic protection. Different case studies referring to merlons, both on crenellated fortified walls and towers, were illustrated. Examples showed that free-standing merlons are mainly subjected to out-of-plane overturning; however if merlons support a roof, as often happens in castles which were subjected to a civil reuse in the course of time, also in plane shear failure can occur. Furthermore, some of the case studies analyzed presented seismic retrofitting interventions, whose behaviour under the seismic actions is described and discussed. Case studies showed that the collapse of merlons can occur even with low values of peak ground accelerations (PGA). Though the collapse of merlons is rather common, it received little attention in the literature. The present work focuses specifically on the out-of-plane overturning of merlons.

    Appendix D S I G G I N S T O W N C A S T L E SIGGINSTOWN, Co WEXFORD Report on the proposed works to the tower in response to a Request for Further Information from Wexford County Council dated 9 th March 2018 By Bena Stutchbury Irish Tower House Design, Conservation & Planning August 2018 5 Impasse du Chateau – 16390 Aubeterre sur Dronne – Charente – France – 0033 771724122 [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION: Sigginstown Castle is a 16 th Century tower-house with a 17 th Century dwelling attached to its north side, a typical addition to a tower-house in later years when security was less of an issue and comfort/ease of access was more important. There are further outbuildings to the north, at right-angles to the 17 th C dwelling, creating an L-shaped formation of buildings. Sigginstown Castle is situated in Co. Wexford (ITM Co-ordinates 706253, 607084), is a recorded archaeological monument and is therefore protected under the National Monuments Act (130-2014). Liz and Gordon Jones have made a planning application (Reg.Ref.No:20180037) to renovate the attached dwelling and to do some reconstruction/conservation works to the tower itself, including fitting a new roof and rebuilding the battlements to a 16 th Century design. This design will be based on evidence from what remains of the building itself along with early photographs of the tower, as well as taking information from other towers that exist with their original battlements intact. The Author has been asked to compile this report, based on previous experience in obtaining planning permission for various other tower-houses, including Kilcoe Castle, Skibbereen, Co.
