Resumen

This article examines the parametric reconstruction and structural analysis of a modern stained-glass window in the Santísima Trinidad Church, Caracas (Venezuela), attributed to the artist Omar Carreño. The partial loss of original documentation and limited site access prompted the development of a hybrid methodology combining archival research, interviews, sketches, in situ measurements, parametric modelling in SolidWorks and augmented-reality visualisation. The workflow clearly differentiates historical sources from methodological procedures.
Objective: to establish a replicable sequence for interpreting complex geometries under constructive logic in contexts of deficient documentation. Hypothesis: integrating incomplete historical records, on-site measurements, and parametric modelling can produce a geometrically reliable digital twin to support preventive conservation, structural interpretation, and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer. Results confirm the methodological validity of reconstructive modelling for modern Latin American heritage, providing a transferable workflow for the documentation of non-canonical architectural typologies using accessible technologies.
