Este planteamiento constructivo conlleva una serie de nuevos problemas geométricos en la traza y labra de las dovelas que son más propios de la estereotomía renacentista que de la cantería gótica; por esta razón, la pieza reviste un interés excepcional desde el punto de vista de la Historia de la Construcción en el ámbito ibérico. En este trabajo presentamos un levantamiento fotogramétrico riguroso de la bóveda a partir del cual estudiamos su forma, despiezo y construcción, es decir, su estereotomía.
[EN] The central part of the Portal de Quart, one of two surviving gates of the Mediaeval city walls of Valencia, includes a skew ribbed vault, placed over the central tribune, that eschews, for the first time in Hispanic Gothic, the usual solutions based on ribs and severies, using instead only whole ashlars. Such choice poses a number of new geometric problems connected with the design and execution of the vault, which are closer to Renaissance stereotomy than Gothic stonecutting. All this makes the vault a member of outstanding importance for Iberian Construction History. In our paper we present a precise photogrammetrical survey of this vault and, building on it, a study of its geometrical form and construction
