Estudio De Patología De La Cubierta Del Bien De Interés Cultural Casa Cepeda En La Ciudad De Tunja, Boyacá

Abstract

The advancement of architecture reflects the evolution of construction techniques adapted to the sociocultural and environmental context of each era. This document highlights the importance of preserving patrimonial architecture through a detailed study of the pathologies affecting the roof of Casa Cepeda, a cultural heritage property located in the Historic Center of Tunja, Boyacá. Built around 1900 in a Republican style, this building represents a significant example of domestic architecture from its period. The research focuses on evaluating the deterioration of the wooden and clay tile roof, identifying factors such as humidity, climatic fluctuations, and lack of maintenance that have contributed to its degradation. Through a pathological analysis that includes visual inspection, technical testing, and the use of technologies such as drones, intervention strategies are proposed that combine traditional and contemporary methods, ensuring the conservation of the building's historical and architectural values. The aim of this study is to safeguard the authenticity of Casa Cepeda, ensuring its structural stability and future functionality while respecting its patrimonial character and promoting its appreciation within the urban and historical context of Tunja.
