MOSTAR
AND ITS BRIDGE |
| Prof. Dr. Dr.h.c. Machiel Kiel, University of
Utrecht, Holland (ICE member), has prepared and provided to arch. Manfredo Romeo, General
Engineering Workgroup, an historical outline of Mostar town that is undoubtedly an useful
reference for the current work and that is here next fully reported: |

STARI
MOST |
| Among the most detailed historical
documentation available of the Bridge, (not the town), there is a publication which is
titled: "STARI MOSTOVI U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI" – by Dzemal Celic and Mehemed
Mujezinovic – Sarajevo 1969 |

PRELIMINARY
TECH. CHECK |
| In the year 1999, when still everything was
very much undefined about the reconstruction design, General Engineering was asked to
provide a preliminary technical documentation about the survey services that could be
worked out for the Old Bridge of Mostar. In this
section: introduction - working procedure - available data source analysis

THE
OLD BRIDGE ORIGINAL DESIGN |
| All the hypothesis that have been worked out
pertaining to the original design conceived by the architect Hayruddin almost 500 years
ago. 
topics: The Old Bridge original design - Original curve of the
bridge intrados - Modularity proportions and geometrical relationships - Symmetrical and
asymmetrical elements of the bridge - Hypothesis about the ancient yard and site -
Hypothesis about the ancient constructive and assembling techniques - Hypothesis about the
ancient site configuration. |
