Objective
The availability of an integrated information package to aid in the evaluation and treatment of decay in historic stone buildings has gained importance as building conservation becomes an established industry embracing different professional fields. An increased rate of decay of historic stone buildings and monuments has been recognised in this century and a large body of information on decay processes is now available. Much of this information, because of its highly technical nature, has failed to filter into the conservation industry.
CONSERVATOR will utilise multimedia to construct a comprehensive package of information to answer technical problems about conserving decayed stonework. The technical information will be imparted in a comprehensive and visual manner for ease of understanding, as many of the disciplines involved do not have the required scientific background.
The information will be delivered on CD-ROM. Conservators will have access to a large body of general and specific information organised around the following headings:
material information (a description of the materials used in the building, both on a micro and macro level);
micro environmental information (a description of the environment acting on these materials);
decay processes (how materials and microenvironment interact to produce decay);
conservation guidelines (based on the decay process, conservation options will be given).
The envisaged market for CONSERVATOR includes architects, engineers, property managers, and conservation contractors and specialists.
