Architectural heritage reflects the history of cultures occupying the space for centuries or thousands of years. CHARM (Conservation of Heritage Architecture, buildings and sites by Resilient Methods: hydro-climate factors) project focuses on sustainable conservation of architectural heritage, including buildings surroundings, from vernacular architecture to monuments and from archaeological sites to modern buildings. Materials and methods for the conservation of Architectural Heritage have evolved in the last years and continue to do so, in order to propose solutions respecting the environment and the health of people restoring, occupying or working in the buildings. In the past, cultural heritage conservation professionals have employed materials and techniques based on their own experience and traditional knowledge transmission, founded on the behaviour of materials in past climate. Environmental and climate conditions have very fast evolved in the last few years and will continue to change, so previously employed procedures, in many cases, are no longer adequate. Environmental sensitivity of society is fast developing and existing conservation procedures will not always fulfil new environmental legislation and population and decision makers' wills. For all these reasons, new conservation solutions must be proposed responding to the new climate conditions and also to socio-economical society requirements.

Objectives

The research aims to study and verify the durability of a widespread historical construction technique, i.e. earthen mortars (also used for plasters), and their effectiveness in regulating the humidity contained in the walls, with the purpose of identifying suitable conservation techniques to preserve existing earthen coating and to validate their use on restoration sites also to improve the energy efficiency of the building envelope. Characterize and reproduce the historical recipes with specific additives which may contribute to control the humidity, and monitor in situ the efficiency of these systems. PhD student will stay three years at Politecnico di Milano (Polimi, IT) [secondment: 4 weeks c/o Musei Civici in Cremona (IT)].

Expected Results

The recovery of an ancient know-how and the verification of the energy efficiency of these mortars in order to re-introduce on the market a product that has now disappeared compatible with built historical heritage, capable of mitigating effects of climate change; and environmentally and economically sustainable.

Planned secondment
Secondment 1: Musei Civici di Cremona (Cremona, IT): 1 month, real case study.
