Pathological study and constructive rehabilitation process of the stained glass window at the Parish Centre del Pilar in Guanarteme, Gran Canaria

Abstract

The stained-glass window at Guanarteme church in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has been restored. A pathological study was conducted with the agreement of all involved institutions. The study considered the structural mechanics, construction materials, and factors causing deterioration. Based on this, a new structural reinforcement design was created. The analysis results suggest that the design will reduce wind-induced deformation and collapse risk. The design will maintain constant structural dynamic characteristics over time, enabling better control and maintenance in the future. This is essential for the durability and sustainability of our architecture.
