Reconstruction of heritage areas in Chile (2025)
Book Chapter
Devilat, B. (2025). Reconstruction of heritage areas in Chile. In Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (109-140). Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147-5

In this chapter, I present three case studies in Chile used as a laboratory to study the aspects covered previously since they are at continuous risk of destruction due to earthquakes. Focusing on the earthquakes of 2005 and 2010, I aim to discover w... Read More about Reconstruction of heritage areas in Chile.

Conclusions (2025)
Book Chapter
Devilat, B. (2025). Conclusions. In Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (227-238). Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147-8

This chapter identifies the contributions of this book in methodological terms, emphasising the implications of geometrically accurate recording technologies for the understanding of reconstruction of built heritage at risk. Reconstruction as a repli... Read More about Conclusions.

Record and reconstruction in the face of destruction (2025)
Book Chapter
Devilat, B. (2025). Record and reconstruction in the face of destruction. In Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (81-108). Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147-4

In this chapter, disasters are introduced as agents of built heritage change. It looks at previous reconstruction efforts and how the documents informed them – especially rebuilding as replica. It establishes the link between the record and rebuildin... Read More about Record and reconstruction in the face of destruction.

Recording heritage buildings (2025)
Book Chapter
Devilat, B. (2025). Recording heritage buildings. In Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (52-80). Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147-3

Chapter 2 explores architectural representation and how existing buildings have been recorded, as a historical analysis. From the first attempts to document historical buildings to a review of recording techniques until the current digitalisation sta... Read More about Recording heritage buildings.

The record (2025)
Book Chapter
Devilat, B. (2025). The record. In Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (141-182). Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147-6

In previous chapters, I have discussed the role of the record for replication in architecture, its accuracy and its importance in the face of disasters. I then focused on Chile, presenting the heritage areas before and during their latest reconstruct... Read More about The record.

Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile (2025)
Book
Devilat, B. (2025). Digital Records, Heritage Conservation and Post-earthquake Re-construction in Chile. Taylor & Francis (Routledge). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003172147

The conservation of built heritage implies constant intervention. One form of intervention is reconstruction, which, in the context of disasters, usually tries to bring buildings and places back to their previous state and is contested in heritage di...

3D Laser Scanning representation in Architecture. The place of the record (2025)
Journal Article
Devilat, B., & Andres Lanuza, F. (2025). 3D Laser Scanning representation in Architecture. The place of the record. AIS - Architecture Image Studies, 6(2), 8-41. https://doi.org/10.48619/AIS.V6I2.1176

In Architecture, representing the context is for both a technical need and an understanding process for architectural discipline. The creation of drawings is not only to measure and represent reality to intervene in it but also to analyse it in a bro... Read More about 3D Laser Scanning representation in Architecture. The place of the record.

Reconstruction of housing after the 2010 earthquake in Chile. Challenges and Lessons from the Heritage Reconstruction Programme (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
DEVILAT, B. (2023, June). Reconstruction of housing after the 2010 earthquake in Chile. Challenges and Lessons from the Heritage Reconstruction Programme. Presented at i-Rec Conference 2023: Tensions Between Tradition and Innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Action, and Reconstruction: Reflecting on Tohoku’s Recovery Twelve Years Later, Sendai, Japan

Advanced documentation technologies for a people-centred preparedness and re-construction in Bela, India (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Devilat, B., Lanuza, F., Mane, M., & Pithawalla, Z. (2023, June). Advanced documentation technologies for a people-centred preparedness and re-construction in Bela, India. Presented at i-Rec conference 2023, Sendai, Japan

Despite the recurrence of earthquakes, responses are usually triggered afterwards, lacking mitigation strategies to diminish risks. Damaged dwellings cannot be immediately reinforced to continue inhabitation, generating disruption. Repairs are usuall...
