Vico Theatre heart of Jumilla is what we had the opportunity to meet several representatives of the media last week, during a visit with Councilwoman Joan Guardiola Theatre and the architect and director of works Plácido Cañadas.
Vico is currently immersed in a meticulous restoration work, with which the drama is completely "dismantled" and the bowels open.
In this way, and accompanied by and Joan Cañadas Plácido Guardiola, several journalists had the chance to 'step' the roof of this building, see only a few centimeters the state of the paintings that adorn it, see, from the top of scaffolds, the state where he has been visiting the roof and stay unknown to the public.
All surrounded by machinery, metal frames, plastic shields, cranes, bridges and dozens of professionals who, with great care, are doing this work, as the councilman said, "will not be appreciated by the public, but they are very size and were vital to the theater. "
After this visit, Juana Guardiola confirmed that it is expected that the works completed by the end of January, then will have to put up all the spaces, perform a thorough cleaning and "we intend that the theater might reopen its doors during the month March. "
The councilman noted that the works are essentially replacing the old roof with a new and other actions to eliminate moisture, improve the seating and climate change.
Most of these works have been carried out with a grant awarded by the Ministry of Public Works 1% from the cultural and involved more than 500,000 euros.
For its part, Plácido Cañadas stressed that "this is a very traditional and very careful, since we are talking about a building with different categorizations of what is accepted to certain requirements and not be treated as a normal building" .
Mainly housing has been rehabilitated, preserving part of what we had and adding new trusses.
On the roof are being rehabilitated canvas paintings are also being replaced entirely the floor of stalls for new natural wood platform (as he was attacked by woodworm), we have undertaken actions to prevent moisture and cracks and there have been other changes in electrical installation, sound and air conditioning.
As reflected in the draft-report drafted for this purpose Vico theater has two levels of protection granted on the one hand they belong to the historic old town of Jumilla, declared a Historic-Artistic and, secondly, for his statement as a Cultural BIC category monument.
Thus, the security level so high that holds the building makes this must be kept entirely by its unique character and historic and art-historical reasons, preserving all the historic and / or artistic possesses.
The rehabilitation project in detail
Under the bill, although the theater has a reasonable state of preservation in terms of the elements responsible for its stability, foundations and structures, is not true about the sealing, audible covered much of the bad or good, decks yet still presenting problems of leakage, excessive deformations may have a very negative impact on the elements and fixtures located at lower altitudes (mainly the ceiling decoration of the stalls).
There are also areas that are not operated in previous works, with bankruptcies holes, cracks on ladders, capillary moisture problems in some areas, etc.
Despite the interest mainly because it covers municipal and facilities were upgraded, there were still some that it was necessary to adapt, improve or even modify.
In the case of tile roofing, they have a state more or less homogeneous in terms of placement of the tile, but with large arrows in the centers of the openings.
In addition, the covers have several solutions that the project aims to standardize improved through the placement of materials to ensure the tightness of the same to in soffit in the event of failures in coverage.
To this end, we review covers all areas, restoring them in depth in those skirts where required (even in areas like the sides of the boxes must be run again.)
This will make a performance in each of the skirts, lifted from the board and the placement of new trusses between each two ancient deck of the stalls, until that full intervention on the side decks with raised structural parts, placement of a new shingle, and tile onduline.
Generally indicated that in addition to the operations that are designated for each of the zones, perform all operations on the removal of vegetation on the roofs or in exposed areas and terraces protruding from them.
Finally, both covers, such as guardrails, handrails, etc., There shall be protected by lead sheet hemming and received if the walls.
On the other hand, corrugated sheets, to be a disused material (and even banned in some cases), advised his retirement status, so that the project proposes to replace all the same and the subsequent implementation of new boards Slope-based plywood panels to be placed on the insulation, water-resistant board, iron waterproofing and finishing curved ceramic tiles.
Obviously, after the intervention, ensuring access to the interior of each and every one of the decks, as well as ventilation, lighting and removal of nesting pigeons.
Needless to say, the approach of this project are based on the one hand, the fundamental premise of respect and strict conservation of the building and its artistic and historical values, but it is also true that emphasize the deliberate use of traditional materials and techniques especially in strengthening the involvement of the covers.
These operations are complementary to the implementation of the new central truss and, like the existing ones, and as is usual in traditional architecture, rest on sleepers and socks factories received in order to minimize horizontal thrust as possible.
After placement will be installed on them belts, phenolic board, insulation board, waterproofing, and then the wing onduline lead to ensure the tightness of it.
Ceramic tile be used on all decks, being prohibited from using any other type of coverage.
All old tiles and blankets should be long enough to overlap after applying proper alignment can be maintained in vertical and horizontal rows.
The tiles channels are curved in some cases and in others flat, so it will keep the current composition of each panel.
The side covers on the boxes are implemented both as part squared logs and on them, stringing hurdle.
As for the cracks appearing in some areas (mainly in the ceiling of the room and small size), prescribed in the project, some minor stitching to ensure the contact between the faces of the factories, without having to go deeper into external causes or changes in stress states which may arise.
Parallel to the work set out above raises other smaller but equally needed as compensation for dismantling its terraces running surface finish and leaded in the meetings, complete waterproofing and new ceramic flooring in these and other areas prone to water access to the interior.
Likewise, and taking advantage of these works, we proceeded to change the climate of the theater, as well as the restoration of the paintings that adorn the ceiling inside the building.
