ISCARSAH Perspectives on Fire Protection of Heritage Structures -April 25th 2023

Fire is one of the main risks that can affect the safeguard of historic buildings and Archeological sites. The devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral or at Shuri Castle (tragically highlighted the need for effective and comprehensive fire strategies in heritage structures. The International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH) hosts a webinar presenting the perspectives from ISCARSAH affiliated engineers and heritage professionals, who were and are involved in the reconstruction of historic sites damaged by fire and investigate fire protection measures characterized by low and high tech.

INTERVENCIONES EN LAS ESTRUCTURASDEL PATRIMONIO ARQUITECTÓNICO – April 5th 2022

INTERVENTIONS IN THE STRUCTURES OF THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

Architectural heritage structures, both by their nature and their history, represent a challenge for diagnosis, analysis and intervention processes, especially in seismic countries. reconcile aspects such as the safety of people, compliance with local regulations and the preservation of values ​​and authenticity of structures is a complex issue that must be observed and debated from each context cultural. In this line, the International Scientific Committee for the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of the Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH) invites you to reflect on these issues through experiences of professionals from the Latin American region.

Las estructuras del patrimonio arquitectónico, tanto por su naturaleza como por su historia representan un desafío para los procesos de diagnóstico, análisis e intervención, especialmente en países sísmicos. Conciliar aspectos como la seguridad de las personas, el cumplimiento de las normativas locales y la preservación de los valores y autenticidad de las estructuras es un tema complejo que debe ser observado y debatido desde cada contexto cultural. En esta línea, el Comité Científico Internacional para el Análisis y la Restauración de Estructuras del Patrimonio Arquitectónico (ISCARSAH) los invita a reflexionar sobre estos temas a través de experiencias de profesionales de la región latinoamericana

“Promote wide discourse about national, regional, and international interpretations of the different pathways we take toward the critical heritage conservation concept AUTHENTICITY “

“Share current definitions and interpretations of authenticity and integrity as applied…”

Earthquakes and Traditional Construction (Part 3) – April 14th 2021

Traditional structures located in earthquake regions have seismic mitigation strategies as part of their original construction or past repair – knowledge gained from centuries of trial and error. Modern engineered retrofit solutions must navigate modern and traditional methods and materials. Excessive strengthening may have unintended effects that may harm a building’s seismic resilience. How does one balance empirical and numerical methods for evaluation and seismic retrofit? The International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH) hosts an inter-ISC discussion on understanding traditional technology and craftsmanship with case studies where contemporary interventions can be informed by knowledge, skills and experience from traditional construction.

This is the third and final of an ISCARSAH-hosted webinar series focused on this and other critical topics of international cultural heritage preservation.
