Standard Ticket: The Role of Architectural Finishes Research in Understanding and Conserving Buildings and their Interiors with Helen Hughes FIIC ACR.
Professional Conservators of Ireland (PCOI) is pleased to host The Role of Architectural Finishes Research in Understanding and Conserving Buildings and their Interiors with Helen Hughes FIIC ACR.
When: October 4th 2024 / 9:30am to 5:00pm
Where: The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Investment: Standard ticket cost of £150 includes complimentary lunch, tea and coffee.
Description: Throughout their existence, buildings and their interiors have been continuously changed and altered. The most frequent changes are the repeated redecoration of their interior and exterior surfaces which are spurred by a wide range of factors:
Developments of decorative fashions.
Changes in the functions of rooms.
Changes in the wealth of successive occupants and owners.
The need to revive an old and worn painted decoration.
Or simple routine maintenance.
Architectural Finishes Research provided a systematic method of understanding these changes and offers insights into:
The appearance of original and later schemes.
The dates for the application of specific finishes.
This workshop will offer a wide range of participants the opportunity to develop an integral understanding of the documentation and investigation process using Architectural Finishes Research. With interactive group work and dynamic case studies, Helen will aim to deepen our general knowledge of the significance of the building or room under analysis: its history, later alterations, an assessment of its existing condition and to better plan for its future conservation and presentation.
