Romanian Traditional Buildings—Conservation of a National Legacy ^†

The International Symposium PRIOCHEM XV host a workshop entitled “Romanian traditional buildings—conservation of a national legacy” within the sectorial project “Innovative methods and techniques for evaluating conservation–restoration interventions and monitoring the conservation status of traditional constructions in Romania”, organized by partner INCDCP-ICECHIM. Representatives from public authorities, museum specialists, other RDI organizations, NGOs, representatives of the Ministry of Research and Innovation, and Ministry of Culture and National Identity are welcome to attend.

The project’s main goal is to ensure and implement in practice the means of and methods for evaluating the quality of materials and interventions, monitoring in time the environmental, microclimate, and anthropic risk factors and the state of conservation of Romanian traditional buildings, based on advanced scientific techniques and taking into account the principles of restoration.

The contribution of the partner INCDCP-ICECHIM (workshop organizer) to the project is related to the assessment of the present situation of the cultural heritage buildings in the rural area, their construction materials, as well as the identification and systematization of the correlations between the physicochemical properties of the monuments from the Romanian heritage subjected to the study and their current state. This will be realized through the analysis of support materials, using physicochemical and microbiological methods.
