Resumo

Este artigo apresenta a reconstrução paramétrica e a análise estrutural de um vitral modernista localizado na Igreja da Santíssima Trindade, em Caracas, Venezuela, uma obra de relevância cultural possivelmente projetada pelo artista venezuelano Omar Carreño. A perda parcial da documentação original e o acesso restrito ao local levaram ao desenvolvimento de uma metodologia híbrida que integra pesquisa em arquivo, entrevistas, esboços manuais, modelação paramétrica no SolidWorks e visualização em realidade aumentada. O estudo busca definir uma sequência de modelação estruturada e replicável para interpretar formas geométricas complexas com lógica construtiva. O modelo final funciona como artefato documental e gémeo digital coerente, apoiando a gestão do conhecimento e estratégias de conservação futuras. Este trabalho insere um caso latino-americano no debate internacional sobre documentação digital do património moderno vulnerável, explorando tipologias não canónicas com tecnologias acessíveis. Em consonância com as diretrizes internacionais, integra-se num quadro mais amplo que valoriza abordagens interdisciplinares, sensíveis ao contexto e escaláveis.
