Abstract

[EN] This paper aims to demonstrate the potentiality of an integrated approach in the study of architecture, which combines archaeological analysis of elevations and calculation of the units of measurement employed to trace the plans. The complex of St. Mary’s Church, on the Veliki Brijun Island, represents a particularly interesting case study to which one can apply to this approach, because it is an architectural palimpsest characterized by a long stratigraphic sequence dated from the 4th to the 16th centuries. Most importantly, this method has confirmed the stratigraphic sequence and has contributed to better know the architectural phases, even though the architectural palimpsest is very complicated. Also, on the other hand, it has shed light on several aspects linked to the building sites and to the workforces. / [ES] El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la potencialidad de un enfoque integrado en el estudio de arquitectura, que combina la lectura estratigráfica de los alzados con el cálculo de las unidades de medida utilizadas para trazar los planos. El complejo de Santa María, en la isla de Brioni Mayor, es un caso de estudio particularmente interesante para la aplicación de este enfoque, ya que es un palimpsesto arquitectónico caracterizado por una amplia secuencia estratigráfica comprendida entre el siglo IV y el siglo XVI. Por un lado, este método confirma la secuencia estratigráfica y ayuda a comprender mejor las fases de construcción; por otro, arroja luz sobre aspectos relacionados con el sitio de construcción y los trabajadores.

Informazioni aggiuntive:	This paper is partially the result of a research carried out during my Ph.D. in History, Critic and Conservation of Cultural Heritage at the University of Padua (Italy), discussed in 2016 and under the supervision of G.P. Brogiolo. The thesis’ title is “Tecniche costruttive, ciclo edilizio e spostamento di maestranze nel Medio-Alto Adriatico, nei secc. VIII-XI. L’alto medioevo visto attraverso le chiese” (“Construction techniques, building cycle and transfer of skilled workers in the Upper-Middle Adriatic Sea, during the VIII-XI centuries. The Early Middle Ages as seen through churches”). The graphic plates and photographs, if not differently indicated, are by the author.
