SUMMARY:Structural Engineering and Sustainable Heritage: beyond conservati
 on of historic buildings - Alejandra Albuerne\, University College of Lond
 on
DTSTART:20200721T140000Z
DTEND:20200721T150000Z
UID:TALK150103@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Maria Marques de Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:The role of structural experts in the conservation of heritage
  is unquestionable to ensure integrity of historic buildings. As the susta
 inability of heritage becomes a key goal within the heritage sector\, the 
 potential of the structural engineering discipline to engage with heritage
  is broader. Sustainability of heritage is understood as a holistic object
 ive that integrates environmental\, social\, economic and cultural aspects
 . It is a multidisciplinary challenge where engineers can have significant
  input in diverse ways\, ranging from structural advice to disaster respon
 se\, from values assessment to preventive conservation strategies. \nThis 
 webinar will provide an overview of the links between Structural Engineeri
 ng and Sustainable Heritage\, explored through two case studies: managemen
 t of Ancient Roman archaeological sites and post-disaster recovery of hist
 oric urban areas in Nepal. The concept of Sustainable Heritage will be exa
 mined\, seeking to generate new ideas for engineering engagement with futu
 re heritage management. \n
