Course contents

The aim of the course is to furnish the bases regarding the theoretical approach and the techniques about restoration and maintenance of historical heritage, with specific regard to the theme of seismic prevention. The course is articulated in two parts. The first regards the exposition of the theoretical assumptions as the foundations of the technique’s solutions selected afterwards. The discussion starts from a circumstantial analysis of the criteria on which is based the historical construction, following a knowledge approach which transversally cuts the theory and the practise of pre-modern construction, through the exposition of some specific theoretical passages.

The second part is oriented towards the description of technological methods for building restoration, following an approach based on refurbishment and fire performance requirements.
