The Escuela de Arquitectura de Madrid has set up a unique and remarkable pedagogical experience, the “Gothic construction workshop”. In this workshop, real gothic ribbed vaults are built with the aim of acquiring a deeper understanding of gothic construction methods.
The centering of the vault, once finished, is removed every year and, later on, through a fracture test, the vault is demolished. These experiences are filmed by the Tele-Education team of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and are uploaded in Youtube UPM chanel.
