Jayrán Wall The UNESCO Centre of Andalusia has publicly released a report on the restoration of the Great Wall de la Hoya, in which technical and legal minds in the same restoration done by the Ministry of Culture, at the same time requesting the withdrawal of weathering steel towers and is carried out an action to recover " aesthetic and heritage values \u200b\u200bthat had the walls of the Barranco de la Hoya before the reintegration of volumes made of cut steel. "
UNESCO CENTRE REPORT OF ANDALUSIA
the ravine La Muralla de la Hoya, who protected the former suburb of al-Musalla Almeria has been the subject of a recent restoration intervention, promoted by the Ministry of Culture Board Andalusia with the co State. This wall was built with the technique known as cob, which was used most in the Andalusian city fortifications from XI century. Presents the usual light ocher color produced by mixing components (stones, gravel, sand, clay and lime, mixed with water) and the patina that time has produced on its outer surface.
The Citadel and Walls of Cerro de San Cristóbal were declared historic-artistic monument in the year 1931 (Decree of 03/06/1931). Many years later, by Decree 83/2004 of 24 February (03/16/2004 BOJA) of Andalusia, was protected environment of a Cultural composed of those elements of defensive architecture, which includes the section of the wall of the gorge de la Hoya. This is a privileged sector, it has not been affected by urban development in the city today and maintains a very acceptable condition for its great antiquity.
During the last fifty years these walls and towers have undergone several restorations, which have been consolidated and completed the damaged or missing areas. These interventions were conducted in accordance with current legislation (the National Artistic Heritage Act, 1933, and later, the Law 16/1985 on English Historical Heritage). They basically two techniques used to reintegrate the lost volumes: the concrete with wooden casings and ocher colored mortar and traditional brick. In both cases the texture and color obtained closely resembled that of the original wall, so that from the beginning there was a harmony between new and old. This consistency was increasing with the patina that contributed over the years, so after a few decades only from a close look distinguished such interventions. These works were raised and projected, respectively, for administrators and technicians who did not want to leave his mark on the monument, but to contribute slightly to prolong its many centuries.
The recent intervention has also followed similar criteria to consolidate some of the pieces of damaged walls, however, in some towers criteria and has introduced new materials and discordant. We used a material like steel cut to complete the intramural faces two of its towers and terraces of three of them, and for the construction of a bridge over the old existing door at the bottom of the ravine, called Bab Musa . This material has a smooth texture and a dark brown color is a stark contrast to the rest of the wall, both in the front view of the towers and in the view from the terraces over the hill of San Cristobal and the Alcazaba. Moreover, in an environment close to the sea, and weather, weathering steel has the disadvantage that produce rust stains on old factory walls beneath. This material has been used to create great works of contemporary sculpture is also being used brilliantly in works of contemporary architecture, but is totally inadequate when used in the restoration of monuments built with porous walls as Andalusian.
The Art 20.3 of Law 14/2007 of Historical Heritage of Andalusia (BOJA 19/12/2007) states that "materials used in conservation, restoration and rehabilitation must be compatible with the good "and that" the construction methods and materials to be used shall be compatible with the building tradition of good. "Clearly, the weathering steel violates two provisions, because their physical properties (capillarity, thermal conductivity , hardness, elasticity, porosity, mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, etc.) are completely different from the walls of al-Andalus. As for the visual properties of weathering steel color has a hue, brightness and intensity that considerable contrast to the walls, focuses attention on the new parts rebuilt, removed prominence to what really has value historical and alters the overall harmony. In this sense, the Italian Letter Restauro 1987, in Article 7a, indicates that it is not advisable to overdo signaling additions and reinstatements "in order not to disturb the harmony of context" and suggests the use of a material "consistent with the existing chromatic."
UNESCO de Andalucía Center believes that weathering steel additions to the Wall of the Barranco de la Hoya are an unfortunate act that allows undue experimentation and contemporary artistic creativity will address the poetics of place, values \u200b\u200bof the techniques traditional construction and consolidated picture of the monument. This intervention is even more serious when that is done on a publicly owned BIC, with promotion and also public funding, so it could be interpreted as an example to be followed in future interventions.
Al Centro UNESCO de Andalucía is concerned the test applied by the Provincial Delegation of Almería of the Ministry of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía in this and other works on monuments of the province, as the Roman mausoleum Abla and lower castle Bacares . In our opinion it should apply the criterion of reversibility, to return to recover the aesthetic and economic values \u200b\u200bthat had the walls of the Barranco de la Hoya before reintegration of volumes made of Corten steel. Michael J.
Carrascosa Salas. President of the UNESCO Centre of Andalusia
Thus the UNESCO CENTRE OF ANDALUSIA adds to the many pronouncements of academic, cultural and social as well as citizen groups and neighborhood, as well as political groups, which have not been able to time to change the attitude of our Ministry of Culture, completely deaf to the views of citizens.
