| Resumo: | Roman construction has become a reference of all ages for the grandeur, beauty, resistance, proportion, functionality, ingenuity, and many qualifications that put it ahead of many civilizations as an example of perfect architecture. The functionality of all its constructions is among the most remarkable concepts. Vitruvio already enumerated "utilitas" among his three principles, a very clear concept focused on joining together with beauty and resistance, the fundamental concepts of architecture. "Balnea, termae, spa" are the different names with which to define the same type of buildings, destined for personal care and bodily hygiene from a rational and natural point of view, without neglecting aspects such as social relations, customs, games and sport, constituting themselves as great centers of leisure and social encounter. The most advanced concepts in thermal and hydraulic engineering are applied in these buildings in order to develop one of the most complete architectural programs in terms of technique, composition and resistance in the same building. There are many factors that influence the correct functioning of a bath and that is why today's technology can be applied to simulate the protocols established over 2000 years ago and demonstrate the great physical knowledge that was had in the use of water, fire, air and construction. The Roman baths of Mura, located in the Roman city of Edeta (Llíria), together with the neighboring oracular sanctuary and various dependencies such as taverns, hospices and shops, are one of the most interesting examples of the thermal architecture of Hispania Citerior. These thermal baths would be part of one of the thermal complexes where water and fire would be used with great dexterity, developing a space with a double spa with porticoed fore following the Pompeian models. Construction materials and systems have been studied in detail thanks to the various archaeological excavation campaigns begun in 1971 and, above all, to the last architectural intervention completed three years ago and directed by the architect Julián Esteban Chapapría, whose objective was to consolidate the architectural remains of the building and adapt them for a worthy value according to the size of the site. The quality and quantity of the architectural remains, combined with the methodology and knowledge of the archaeologists Vicent Escrivà, Xavier Vidal and Carmen Fernández, have been able to determine constructive facets that help to understand its construction and especially the functional system of the installation. This thesis compiles the knowledge of the Roman thermal world, the data of the excavations and interventions carried out in the building and unifies them by means of computational simulations in order to understand the optimal operating protocols of one of the most technological constructions in our history, the major baths of Mura. |
