Summary
A perceptive analysis of the Alcázar of Seville’s 14th-century entrance reveals its architectural design was intentionally crafted to evoke specific emotions and symbolism, rather than purely functional purposes. The study reconstructs the original medieval space using rigorous planimetric surveys, archaeological, historical, and aesthetic research, alongside virtual modeling techniques. Through this reconstruction, researchers describe the emotional experiences and societal meanings this entrance would have provoked in its contemporary context. This approach challenges conventional interpretations by emphasizing the sentient dimension of historic architecture.
