URBAN MODELLING WITH TYPOLOGICAL APPROACH. CASE STUDY: MERIDA, YUCATAN, MEXICO
Keywords: Virtual Reconstruction, Typological modelling, Parametric modelling, Merida, Mexico, Colonial Era
Abstract. In three-dimensional models of urban historical reconstruction, missed contextual architecture faces difficulties because it does not have much written references in contrast to the most important monuments. This is the case of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico during the Colonial Era (1542-1810), which has lost much of its heritage. An alternative to offer a hypothetical view of these elements is a typological - parametric definition that allows a 3D modeling approach to the most common features of this heritage evidence.
