“…The tie beams of the octagonal dome would then have been inserted into the walls, with more important sections, and the prefabricated skirt roofs would have been hoisted up and mounted with the support of the belt of almizate (plan or horizontal ceiling of a coffered and frameworked wooden roof), on which would have later come to support the lantern tower, previously prefabricated in vertical panels. Before this, the muqarnas ceiling of the lantern tower would have to be raised, so that the lantern tower could pass through the hole without incident [21].…”

This article presents a geometrical and constructive analysis of two significant carpentry works in the church of Santa María (Alaejos, Valladolid): the choir platform and the coffered ceiling of the transept. Both timber frames belong to the same historical period (between the 16th and 17th centuries), and have similar construction solutions, so they could have been probably made by the same author. The research was focused on the several pieces that configure these carpentry works. A design and construction hypothesis was then developed, including both the structural elements and some decorative elements, such as the muqarnas. This was done through a survey carried out with a laser scanner, which has provided us with an accurate 3D model. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of these carpentry works. We also provide graphic and written descriptions of both their current state and hypothetical internal configuration, which we believe could be useful for future conservation work.
