Therefore a concept of conservation for the handling of the original building substance will be proposed. The concept of conservation is based on examinations of the historical materials and handicrafts and comprises the identification and definition of materials and techniques used and changes made in the past. The observations are based on phenomenological and empirical techniques helped by scientific analysis. In addition, past and ongoing structural damages and factors causing these damages will be examinated and documented.
