Kaodyan period buildings which are of predominantly timber construction form a
part of our cultural heritage. Conservation of these structures require special skills
IIcIIPC:rtil;e to consolidate them without damaging their authenticity. Degeneration of the
ork of these buildings is caused by the activity of decay causing agencies and the
mstigated during the periodic renewal process.
~ve of this thesis was to identify the nature and causes of degeneration seen on the
elements of these buildings and to provide recommendations for the conservation of
. The study was based on a qualitative approach and relied primarily on observations
site, on records and documentation relating to the conservation of the structures and
fiDdings show that the degeneration of the valued architectural timberwork, was
often by the combined or interrelated action of human, biological and climatic
. The necessity was seen for preventive measures to prolong the life of timber
to minimize the need for renewal, and for research to be carried out to find methods
material that are economical and adaptable to local conditions, based on their
lib_nee in the past .Using traditional concepts, methods and techniques for this end,
to be the most valid solution. |
