Abstract

The present Ph.D. Thesis develops new engineering graphics methodologies to increase the value enhancement of historical industrial heritage information. Research applications have focused on windmill and olive oil heritage in order to their implementation for dissemination by public administrations, museums and interactive interpretation centers. Therefore, this Ph.D. Thesis is structured in the following chapters: Chapter 1 reviews the concept of historical industrial heritage and its documentation sources. Knowledge evolution is analyzed along the historic industrial period and landscape is assessed as one of the foundations of the cultural heritage. Chapter 2 focuses on the techniques and methodologies of engineering graphics to recover the historical industrial heritage. Several potentialities based on normal discipline tasks of industrial archeology are studied and improvement by engineering graphics. Chapter 3 deals with the recovery of industrial properties from different virtual environments. Computer virtual techniques are studied and implemented on virtual realistic recreations and immersive environments in the historical industrial heritage. Chapter 4 shows the representation of industrial properties over land surface in order to generate windmill inventory based on geographic information system technologies. A geospatial analysis is performed with the main aim to propose tourist routes applied to Andalusian windmill heritage. Chapter 5 analyzes the previously graphic documentation obtained under an engineering perspective, as classic wind study, finite and volume elements analysis. The result is a new technical-technological knowledge of historical industrial heritage. Chapter 6 develops three specific areas for the results divulgation to make proposals for cultural tourist routes. These areas are based on a standardization of educational resources applied to industrial archaeology by engineering graphics. Additionally, information flow diagram for a suitable virtual museum is proposed to public administration, on-site museums or interactive interpretation centers...
