ISSUES OF BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING PHYSICS IN OLD AND HISTORICAL BUILDINGS. PATHOLOGY AND RESTORATION INTERVENTION
Purpose of the course:
The purpose of the course is the acquisition of theoretical and applied knowledge on issues of building pathology and building physics of old and historical buildings, in order to address mainly moisture and thermal insulation issues in the context of protection and restoration interventions.
Educational objectives:
The aim of the course is to help the graduate students get acquainted with building pathology issues and develop the ability to deal with them by choosing the appropriate construction solutions based on the principles of building physics, taking into account the specific characteristics of protection and restoration of historical structures.
