Convegno
Superfici architettoniche. La complessita' del restauro
Under the auspices of the “RESTAURO” convention (Ferrara, April 2-5), which is dedicated to the restoration, conservation and preservation of artistic, historical, architectural and natural patrimony, a conference will be sponsored on April 4th by the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro (ex Istituto Centrale per il Restauro) which is titled “Architectural Restoration: Care for Complexity”. Contributors will concentrate on the challenges faced during architectural restorations and in particular to the complexity of issues tied to the conservation of materials both in design theory and practical building yard practice. Complex aspects of research will be presented on various topics including: the conservation of architectural surfaces exposed to external environments, the enclosing of archaeological sites, the interaction between building structures and decorative elements which have been exposed to static damage or humidity, the relationship between new and antique structures, and illumination techniques that serve the dual purpose of conservation and perception. The conference is sponsored by the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry for Cultural Heritage.
