Summary
This consists of a built heritage study model that combines an archaeological and material science perspective, designed to support the preservation of historic and cultural heritage memory.
The model can be used to characterize construction and materials systems at a micro or macrostructural level, which translates into a collection of reference documents that are made available via an online platform.
Potential Use
This can be used by foundations or institutions working with built heritage, ministries of public works, ministries of national assets, educational establishments that include this subject matter on their curriculum, tourism agencies, and planning/zoning boards.
Development Status
TRL 3 – Small-scale prototype testing under test conditions
Advantages
Model combines materials engineering and archeological methodologies that produce a robust, non-invasive built heritage characterization model which contributes to heritage conservation and appraisal.
Intellectual Property
Property rights registered.
Opportunity
Looking for partnerships with public and private institutions interested in learning about and recognizing the value of built heritage. This tool could have an impact on areas such as urban planning and tourism.
