STREMAH International Conference on Structural Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture 2013

13th International Conference on Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture.

Modern society exerts considerable strain on our architectural heritage, partly due to the increase of population and the associated demands on the built environment, and also because of the pernicious effects of pollution. The difficulties and costs of repairs and maintenance contribute to the neglect of important buildings in times of economic stress. It is hence important that our research addresses not only technical questions, but solutions that can be implemented in practice, where social and economic considerations may be paramount. The STREMAH conference fulfils the important function of bringing together experts from different disciplines from all over the world to discuss problems of common interest and put forward solutions.
