Practical Building Conservation: Earth, Brick and Terracotta

Practical Building Conservation: Earth, Brick and Terracotta by Historic England

Earth, Brick and Terracotta deals with fired and unfired clay products. It considers their technological evolution, the processes causing deterioration and how these should be assessed and the methods used for their repair and maintenance.

‘The layers of information contained in these volumes allow this handbook to be of great use to practitioners who work with brick and terra-cottaThe volumes should be part of every professional’s library … They can, and should, be read and reread.’ – Diane Kaese, RA, AIA, Kaese Architecture PLLC

The contents reflect the work of the Building Conservation and Research Team, their colleagues at Historic England, and their consultants and researchers, who together have many decades of accumulated experience in dealing with deteriorating building materials and systems of all types. This multi-disciplinary team of architects, surveyors, conservators and scientists are responsible for standard setting and research across a wide range of Historic England activities. The team specialises in dealing with the practical, technical and scientific aspects of building materials decay and their treatment. The aim has been to provide practical advice by advocating a common approach of firstly understanding the material or building element and why it is deteriorating, and then dealing with the causes. The books concentrate on those aspects which are significant in conservation terms, and reflect the requests for information received by Historic England.
