• Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba

This study forms part of a more extensive research on metrology in historic architecture. Its primary intention is to disseminate the scientific principles of the first technical method that was developed to analyze the modulations of works that were carried out with the old anthropometric system. As a practical application, parts of the results obtained in the CathedralMosque of Cordoba are also presented, a complex example among many others analyzed, corresponding to buildings of millenarian metric system. To perform the analysis I used the Method of Modulation and Sizing of Historic Architecture applied to a survey of the west elevation of the building executed by Antonio Almagro, supplemented with other graphic bases and direct measurements. The use of a unique Hispanic Muslim cubit stands out next to 3 distinct rods in the Christian additions. Differences can also be appreciated among the emiral and califal ashlar masonry, as well as the static composition in the entrances. Also highlighted are the dynamic modulations of numerous other elements in the building.
