Filomena Perez Galvez

Filomena Perez Galvez serves as a Professor in the Department of Architectural Constructions I at the Higher Technical School of Architecture, University of Seville. Her academic career spans multiple decades with consistent research output focused on building construction systems, particularly in the areas of structural evaluation, rehabilitation techniques, and sustainable materials. She teaches courses including Construction 3, Architecture Workshop 6, Architecture Workshop 3, Repair of Damage in Building Envelopes, Master's Final Project, Evaluation of Damage in Building Envelopes, Construction and Installations, and Final Degree Project.

Professor Perez Galvez's research interests center on architectural constructions, building pathology, and restoration of historical buildings, with particular emphasis on sustainable construction practices. Her work demonstrates expertise in non-destructive testing techniques for wooden structures, waste valorization in construction materials, and eco-efficient rehabilitation methods. She has developed significant expertise in analyzing traditional building systems, particularly those found in Seville's historic architecture from the 18th-20th centuries.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a clear trajectory toward sustainable construction solutions, with increasing focus on waste valorization in building materials since 2015. Her most recent work (2019-2021) predominantly addresses the incorporation of various waste streams (ceramic, plastic, wood) into gypsum composites and mortars, demonstrating practical applications for circular economy principles in construction. The research shows consistent collaboration with colleagues Rubio-De Hita, Morales-Conde, and Rodriguez-Liñan across multiple projects.

Professor Perez Galvez has been actively involved in numerous research projects and contracts, including:

• EVALUACIÓN DE LA RESISTENCIA Y EL DETERIORO DE MADERA DE ROBLE MEDIANTE TÉCNICAS NO DESTRUCTIVAS (PB98-1383)
• INFORME SOBRE DAÑOS EN TORRE ANEXA A VIVIENDA EN CALLE OSUNA 21 (OG-120/04)
• INFORME SOBRE EL ESTADO DE LAS CUBIERTAS DE MADERA DE LA IGLESIA DE NTRA. SRA. DE LOS DOLORES (0471/0259)
• Rehabilitación acústica ecoeficiente de centros escolares (RAECE) (PID2021-123192OB-I00)
• DE RESIDUOS A RECURSOS: VALORIZACION INTEGRAL DE LOS RESIDUOS GENERADOS EN LA REHABILITACION ENERGETICA DE EDIFICIOS (BIA2013-43061-R)

She leads the research group ANALISIS Y EVALUACION DE SISTEMAS CONSTRUCTIVOS Y ESTRUCTURALES EN LA ARQUITECTURA, focusing on practical applications of construction systems analysis. Her technical expertise is frequently sought for building pathology assessments, particularly for historical structures with wooden elements, as evidenced by numerous technical reports on churches and historic buildings throughout Andalusia.
