Using Digital Technology to Care for Your Heritage Assets
Event Information
About this event
Successful and correct restoration of heritage buildings requires a professional assessment of the building’s condition. Yet often times many issues are not easily diagnosed by the eye or through traditional investigation.
Rapid development of technology has given us new means to overcome difficulties in diagnosis and monitoring the state of a heritage asset.
Join us as we hear how advanced digital techniques open new areas of non-invasive methods of diagnosing, documenting and managing heritage assets.
The speakers will illustrate how the use of these new tools can benefit building owners, professionals and those who manage heritage properties.
ZOOM details will be sent to all participants closer to the event date.
