Architecture

Role

Dr Devilat is the Principal Investigator of internally and externally funded research projects at the Centre for Architecture, Urbanism and Global Heritage at NTU, with case studies in Chile and India, using advanced recording technologies for the conservation of heritage buildings at risk. She has used similar methods before for recording, analysing and intervening built heritage of Chile in her PhD, with a further application for designing in her previous architectural practice and teaching. She is also a tutor of the 'Architecture in Context 3' Course at the BA Architecture NTU.

Career overview

Dr Devilat is PhD in Architectural Design from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL), practising architect and Master in Architecture from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, with teaching experience at those universities.

Her research includes novel ways of improving heritage intervention of seismic-prone settlements, which started after the 2005 earthquake in Tarapacá, Chile, when she co-founded the Tarapacá Project, building a Community Library; as a prototype. She developed housing strategies via her MA, contributing to her work at the Heritage Reconstruction Programme of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development after the 2010 earthquake in Chile. She introduced advanced recording technologies to this subject in her PhD studies and continued with research projects in Chile and India. Dr Devilat is also the co-founder of DLA Scan Architectural Studio.

In 2016, she created and led BScan, a 3D laser scanning teaching cluster at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, focusing on representation and digital preservation. She is a member of professional associations, a member of the AHRC Peer Review College and a peer-reviewer for the Journal of Housing and the Built Environment. She has obtained funding and scholarships to carry out her research. Dr Devilat has presented her research as a key and guest speaker in several seminars, presented papers at International Conferences, published in journals, and books, and exhibited internationally.

In 2020, she joined the Centre for Architecture, Urbanism and Global Heritage (CAUGH) at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), collaborating with the research project on the Hawara Pyramid and Labyrinth, Egypt and obtaining internal and external funding to lead research projects as Principal Investigator. Currently, she is leading three research projects in India and Chile, and teaching at the BA Architecture.

Research areas

Dr Devilat’s research interests have evolved into novel ways of applying accurate recording technologies to conserve built heritage at risk, focusing on post-earthquake heritage areas of Chile and more recently, of India.

In her PhD, she created inventive uses of technologies in response to the constant risk of destruction for three heritage areas in Chile affected by high-magnitude earthquakes in 2005 and 2010. Using terrestrial 3D laser scanning (LiDAR), she introduced an in-depth understanding of contextual information—social, spatial and architectural—to improve post-earthquake recovery and resilience, and developed alternative re-construction design strategies. She studied how heritage areas of Chile have been adapting to earthquakes, also analysing the transformation of some of its monuments over time and exploiting the role of the digital record in the context of technological advances, rooted in the international debate about heritage conservation. Her PhD visual work has been awarded twice and exhibited several times internationally.

In her architectural practice, she developed a remote architectural design for a house in Chile based on 3D laser scanning of the site, exploring this method as a new form of architectural representation, which has been exhibited and published. Dr Devilat has also used these methods to document several buildings in London while training students, exploring their role as digital versions that can last longer than the physical constructions, which is especially relevant for heritage at risk of damage or destruction such as in the case of earthquakes.

Since 2020, she has led three research projects in India: ‘Surveying Heritage Buildings In Ahmedabad, India: Empowering Local Action And Skills For Heritage Conservation’, funded by NTU using GCRF funds; and: 'A sustainable re-construction method for seismic-prone heritage areas of India based on advanced recording technologies’ phases 1 and 2, in collaboration with international partners and funded by AHRC/DCMS.

Currently, she is leading the research project: 'Sustainable approaches for the Conservation of Built Heritage at risk based on advanced recording technologies', funded by the NTU Research Talent Fund. Later this year, she will be leading two more projects in India and Chile: ‘Applicability and scalability of a sustainable re-construction framework for seismic-prone heritage areas of Gujarat, India’ and ‘Documenting the UNESCO World Heritage ´Churches of Chiloé’: recording as a knowledge transfer for conservation’.
