The aim of the study is to obtain fast digitalization of large urban settings. The data of two university campuses in two cities in northern Spain was captured. Challenges were imposed by the lockdown situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited mobility and affected the field work for data readings. The idea was to significantly reduce time spent in the field, using a number of resources, and increasing efficiency as economically as possible. The research design is based on the Design Science Research (DSR) concept as a methodological approach to design the solutions generated by means of 3D models. The digitalization of the campuses is based on the analysis, evolution and optimization of LiDAR ALS points clouds captured by government bodies, which are open access and free. Additional TLS capture techniques were used to complement the clouds, with the study of support of UAV-assisted automated photogrammetric techniques. The results show that with points clouds overlapped with 360 images, produced with a combination of resources and techniques, it was possible to reduce the on-site working time by more than two thirds.

This research aims to promote the use of natural materials in construction. Its purpose is to rediscover the interlacing of flat wooden strips. Attending to environmental criteria, it focuses on the study of wood from a locally produced tree, the chestnut, in the north of Spain. However, the proposed methodology can be universally replicated with local wood productions anywhere. The interweaving of flat wooden strips is linked to traditional basketry, which is at serious risk of disappearing in many places. A combined method based on the design of interlaced artifacts is proposed. For this purpose, the mechanical characteristics of the specific material tested were analyzed in advance. The elastic limit of the material was obtained, and this allowed simulating and optimizing the maximum curvatures of the flat strips in a 3D digital model. New geometric shapes were designed with new interlacing wefts and were built with the tested material. The digital models used serve as a record of the artifacts built, and can be posted on web platforms so that they can be universally replicated. This will allow for the preservation of this heritage of built artifacts using basketry techniques, enabling the proposed objective to be achieved.

Urban soundscape management is a central challenge to the livability and sustainability of cities and requires approaches that complement level indicators with frameworks capable of integrating context, use and experience. In this framework, the present work applies a multilayer methodology to the Old Town of Bilbao, understood as a useful case study to explore the applicability of soundscape reading in historic centers with intense coexistence of commercial, hospitality and catering uses, pedestrian, logistical and cultural uses. The methodology is organized into two phases. The first focuses on the recording and documentation of control points and routes through sound fieldwork, perceptual descriptions and homogeneous systematization of information. From this corpus, a qualified sound map and a first visual characterization of the sound identity are elaborated. The second phase presented in this article, consists of the interpretative synthesis of the corpus through five analytical dimensions and the preparation of fragments and sound sequences conceived for future application through reactivated listening. The results are presented at three levels: (1) a traceable documentary corpus of records, files and synthetic representations; (2) a comparative reading by dimensions that identifies spatial contrasts between interior, exterior and perimeter, as well as relationships between urban form, uses, persistence, masking and salience; and (3) a set of operational audio materials prepared for subsequent comparison with inhabitants and users. In a transversal way, type–token reading distinguishes between the diversity of sounds and dominance by repetition. The article does not yet carry out participatory validation of these materials; its contribution consists of proposing and applying a traceable analytical protocol as a basis for future phases of social contrast and applied discussion.

[ENG] The Monumental Complex of the Port of Donostia-San Sebastián represents a significant example of traditional fishermen’s house architecture, characterized by its colorful ceramic facades and heritage value. As part of the subject Graphic Expression III in the Technical Architecture degree at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), a project for the documentation and representation of this complex will be carried out, combining both traditional and advanced methodologies. The project will be structured into three distinct phases. In the first phase, the complex will be surveyed using sketches, photogrammetry, GNSS georeferencing, and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for massive data capture through point clouds. The second phase will focus on digital modeling through the implementation of the BIM methodology, enabling an accurate and structured representation of the architectural elements. Finally, in the third phase, the representation and communication of the project will be addressed using various graphic techniques, facilitating the analysis and dissemination of the results obtained. The resulting graphic documentation will be applied transversally in the Measurements and Budgets subject of the same degree, linking the BIM model to budgeting software. This educational approach will allow students to develop competencies in the use of digital tools applied to architectural documentation while also highlighting the built heritage of the Port of Donostia-San Sebastián. [SPA] El Conjunto Monumental del Puerto de Donostia-San Sebastián representa un ejemplo significativo de la arquitectura popular de casas de pescadores, caracterizada por sus coloridas fachadas cerámicas y su valor patrimonial. En el marco de la asignatura Expresión Gráfica III del Grado de Arquitectura Técnica de la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU), se desarrollará un proyecto de documentación y representación de este conjunto, combinando metodologías tradicionales y avanzadas. El trabajo se estructurará en tres fases diferenciadas. En la primera fase, se llevará a cabo el levantamiento del conjunto mediante croquis, fotogrametría y escáner láser terrestre (TLS) para la captura masiva de datos mediante nubes de puntos. La segunda fase se centrará en el modelado digital a través de la implementación de la metodología BIM, permitiendo una representación precisa y estructurada de los elementos arquitectónicos. Finalmente, en la tercera fase, se abordará la representación y comunicación del proyecto mediante diversas técnicas gráficas, facilitando el análisis y la difusión de los resultados obtenidos. La documentación gráfica resultante se aplicará de manera transversal en la asignatura Mediciones y Presupuestos del mismo grado, vinculando el modelo BIM al software de elaboración de presupuestos. Este enfoque didáctico permitirá a los alumnos adquirir competencias en el uso de herramientas digitales aplicadas a la documentación arquitectónica, al mismo tiempo que se pone en valor el patrimonio edificado del puerto de Donostia-San Sebastián.
