Sustainable Material Approach in Cultural Heritage Conservation and the HMSA Platform
A comprehensive review on the integration of the sustainability concept with cultural heritage, material-oriented approaches, and the strategic position of the HMSA Platform in this process.
What is Reversible Intervention in Cultural Heritage Conservation? What is it Not?
Cultural heritage structures are assets that cannot be reconstructed due to their historical, aesthetic, and social values. This article discusses the concept of reversible intervention within the context of ethics and sustainability.
Unsustainable Restoration: Incorrect Material Selection and Irreversible Damage in Cultural Heritage
The use of incorrect materials in cultural heritage structures may seem like a solution in the short term but leads to structural and chemical deterioration in the long run. This article examines the vital importance of material compatibility and its critical role in terms of conservation ethics.
How to Determine the Right Material in Cultural Heritage?
The success of interventions in cultural heritage structures largely depends on the scientific, technical, and contextual accuracy of material decisions. This article addresses the process within the framework of the Diagnosis–Analysis–Intervention triangle.
Intervention Threshold in Conservation: How Much Should We Touch the Structure?
The fundamental question in restoration is not only what to do, but when, on what scale, and within what limits to intervene. This article focuses on the concept of the “intervention threshold,” which determines the direction of the restoration process.
Documentation and Reading in Conservation Decisions: What Does the Structure Say, When Does Intervention Begin?
Documentation is not merely a technical process of recording the structure’s current state; it is an active decision-making mechanism that defines the limits of intervention. This article discusses the risks and ethical dimensions of interventions initiated without reading the structure.
Building Conservation Consciousness: The Social Value of Architectural Heritage, Intervention Ethics, and Sustainability
The conservation of architectural heritage implies not merely the repair of physical structures, but a multi-layered process encompassing the continuity of cultural identity, collective memory, and environmental responsibility. This study examines intervention principles and sustainability perspectives.
Integration of Sustainability and New Technologies: Historic Building Conservation with HBIM and Digital Twins
The contribution of digital tools such as HBIM, Digital Twin, photogrammetry, and laser scanning to sustainability and performance analysis in the conservation of historic structures. How can energy efficiency be achieved while preserving the authenticity of the structure through digital modeling?
The Conservation of Cultural Heritage in an International Framework: Scientific Guidance of Doctrinal Texts and the Transformation in Material Science
A comprehensive evaluation of the transformation in material science, sustainability, life cycle, and ethical approaches guided by ICCROM and ICOMOS doctrinal texts in cultural heritage conservation.
