Abstract
Non-destructive testing is used for many applications in the cultural heritage protection field. In this study three such sensing techniques, portable digital microscope, infrared thermography, georadar were used for the in site investigation of the ISIA building at the historic center of Florence. This work was a sub-action of a research program called MEDNETA; “MEDNETA- Mediterranean cultural network to promote creativity in the arts, crafts and design for communities’ regeneration in historical cities”.
Florence was selected as a case study city with ISIA building (Higher Institute for Artistic Industries), a university for education in the field of industrial design. This building is situated at the historic center and is a part of the Museo INNOCENTI complex. The building during the diagnostic campaign undergone redesign and renovation works, without although any changes in its use.
The in site diagnostic study was conducted by National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) research team in September 2014. Main aim of this investigation was the characterization of building materials and their decay diagnosis, based on guidelines prepared by NTUA research team. For this reason the above mentioned non destructive techniques were applied. Based on the EN Standard 16096-2012 the overall building preservation state could be classified in the overall preservation category characterized as “good”.
