Knowing to Preserve: Vaulted Maya Architecture
The study of Maya architecture has traditionally been approached from the discipline of archaeology. The constructive and structural studies of the buildings, as well as the analysis of the degradation processes that affect them, have had less importance.

En el área maya, el estudio de la arquitectura prehispánica se ha abordado tradicionalmente desde la disciplina de la arqueología. Los estudios constructivos y estructurales de los edificios, así como el análisis de los mecanismos de degradación que les afectan, han quedado en muchos casos relegados a un segundo plano. Sin embargo, este patrimonio cultural, ampliamente valorado a nivel internacional, presenta una gran monumentalidad y complejas situaciones de conservación, por lo que su investigación y restauración requieren la participación de equipos multidisciplinares. El trabajo que aquí se presenta forma parte de una investigación con enfoque arquitectónico sobre la bóveda maya, el sistema de techumbre más avanzado de esta arquitectura y, quizás, una de las mejores expresiones del auge constructivo y de la evolución tecnológica de dicha civilización. A partir de una exhaustiva toma de datos en campo, con especial énfasis en los aspectos constructivos, se han analizado los principales agentes patológicos y los mecanismos de degradación que afectan a los edificios abovedados mayas. Se ha podido comprobar que las características constructivas de estos edificios, así como su proceso de construcción, determinan en muchos casos no sólo sus rasgos estilísticos, sino también las formas de colapso de estas estructuras. En este trabajo se estudia cómo inciden los aspectos constructivos de los edificios abovedados mayas en su proceso de deterioro y derrumbe.

The study of Maya architecture has traditionally been approached from the discipline of archaeology. The constructive and structural studies of the buildings, as well as the analysis of the degradation processes that affect them, have had less importance. However, this internationally recognized cultural heritage presents complex conservation situations that require the collaboration of multidisciplinary teams. The work presented here is part of a recent research on the Maya vault, the most advanced roofing system of this architecture and perhaps one of the best expressions of this civilization’s technological evolution. Based on an exhaustive collection of field data, with special emphasis on the constructive aspects, the main pathological agents and degradation mechanisms affecting Maya vaulted buildings were analyzed. This made it possible to verify that the constructive features of these buildings, as well as their construction process, determine in many cases not only their stylistic features, but also their forms of collapse. This paper shows the incidence of the constructive aspects of the Maya vaulted buildings in their process of deterioration and collapse. |
