La société algérienne saharienne est conçue fondamentalement comme une société traditionnelle où l'architecture découle d'une cristallisation des valeurs sociales. En référence au passé, elle perpétue la mémoire et transmet des savoirs. Cette contribution a pour objet de définir les facteurs déterminants dans la conception de ce patrimoine bâti qui tend à disparaître. Basée sur une étude urbaine, architecturale et anthropologique, elle confirme l'importance du matériau de construction (toub) dans la constitution du modèle culturel. Le matériau donne forme à une architecture populaire faite à la mesure de l'homme, pour l'homme, à travers laquelle se transcrit matériellement la culture d'un peuple (d'une société). Adapté aux exigences du climat, souvent reproduction réduite de l'ordre cosmique, l'habitat traditionnel saharien établit l'équilibre entre l'homme, l'environnement et sa culture.
This work is proposed as a contribution to the debate pertaining to the reverse modelling in the field of cultural heritage. Besides, the development of data capture techniques in recent years, in respect such as Terrestrial LIDAR (TLS), provides the possibility to develop new procedures for the architectural heritage analysis and diagnosis. This paper presents some of the results obtained throughout the integrated use of techniques and non-invasive for the assessment of vertical constructions from point clouds that allow obtaining relevant data. Likewise, this work consists of an investigation with different integrated methodologies for extraction purpose of the geometric information, data analysis and generation of a 3D mathematical model, reliable from a formal and cultural point of view. In fact, the technique is tested on the thousand-year-old minaret of the Agadir Mosque in the Province of Tlemcen, Algeria, one of the oldest minarets in Algeria, where the geometric differences between the vertical parts, being a priori equal, are identified and analysed; in addition, the possible deformations and lesions of the structure have alike been subject to study. In this respect, the technique can be performed and reproduced on any other vertical construction of any type whatever.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
