Abstract:

Between 1995 and 2000, was carried out the survey of Casa de l’Hort in Onil, the former residence of the Cardinal Payá's family; on the horizon was turning this urban mansion into a National Doll Museum. This task was developed in four phases. This survey constitutes the first set of plans that graphically record the building, whose appearance is due to reforms around 1874; It is, therefore, a historical document in which the life of the monument is synthesized, thus declared in 1977. Data collection was done by hand, which would serve as the basis for the Autocad plans. The final objective was to obtain real plans of the building (floors, facades, and sections) on which to think about the rehabilitation project. The drawing, as a researching tool, revealed data about the origin and the evolution of this architecture due to the geometric and typological pieces of evidence that came.
