ORGANIZATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR RESTAURATION
Course objectives
The course aims at teaching basic skills in the organization of a conservation building yard at its different stages and in its various aspects. In specific, the many different requests of a conservation work will be put into evidence: on one side productivity and optimization of the work, on the other the needs of a historical critical comprehension of the building. On these premises, the course tackles the problems of a building yard and, more specifically, those of a conservation work (in specific reference to the sequence of operations to achieve and to the knowledge of the building).
