This volume contains a selection of papers whose content have been
presented at the International conferences CIPHI on Cultural
Heritage and History of Engineering at University of Las Palmas de
Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain, in recent years. The
conference series is aimed at bringing together researchers,
scholars and students from a broad range of disciplines referring
to the History of Engineering and Cultural Heritage, in a unique
multidisciplinary forum to stimulate collaboration among
historians, architects, restaurateurs, and engineers.
These papers illustrate, by treating specific emblematic topics
and problems, technical developments in the historical evolution of
engineering concerning cultural heritage. Thus, emphasis is given
to a discussion of matters of cultural heritage with engineering
history by reporting authors' experiences and views. Topics treated
include: reutilization of industrial heritage: the unique example
of the Royal Segovia Mint in Spain; the image of factories; Pedro
Juan De Lastanosa and "the twenty-one books of devices and machines
of Juanelo"; the historical development of paper-mills and their
machines in South Latium during 19th century; a virtual
reconstruction of a wave-powered flour mill from 1801; 3D modelling
and animation study of the industrial heritage wonders; a new model
of the hydraulic machine known as "el artificio de Juanelo"; and
the mystery of one Havana portrait, on the first steam machine in
Cuba. This work has been made possible thanks to the invited
authors who have enthusiastically shared this initiative and who
have spent time and effort in preparing the papers in much more
detail that in the conference presentations."
