Bridging scholarly research and conservation practice, this long overdue resource provides conservation professionals with the information needed to analyze preservation issues and implement efficient, long-lasting treatments.
The
field of stone conservation has long needed a holistic perspective that embraces the needs of
conservation professionals and provides scientific support to enable them to better analyze
preservation issues and implement efficient, long-lasting treatments. Conservation of Granite in Cultural Heritage offers such a perspective by bridging scholarly research on
the available literature related to granite decay and best practices from conservators working in the field
and laboratory.
First offering an overview of granitic rocks and their natural weathering,
this volume then outlines the issues that arise when removing granite from
quarries and incorporating what eventually becomes built heritage. Case studies are presented
alongside guidelines for assessing conservation problems. This book will
serve as a fundamental manual for students, conservation scientists,
conservators, and restorers alike.
