Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of preserving built heritage challenges the institutional, technological, and conceptual notions of the twentieth century, evolving into a global, deeply interdisciplinary, and digitally driven endeavour. However, new technological opportunities and the rapidly expanding field of AI come with new uncertainties. Built heritage can no longer be regarded as a discipline isolated from issues such as mass migration, climate change, social inequalities, and other global concerns. In response, this Special Issue of Buildings, “Built Heritage Conservation in the Twenty-First Century: 2nd Edition”, aims to provide a platform for discussing significant research challenges and achievements related to methods and technologies in the field of built heritage.
It seeks to gather diverse research outcomes and practical experiences related to defining significance, identifying construction technologies and restoration methods, creating adaptive reuse strategies, and other relevant topics. Dr. V. Petrulis warmly invites authors to submit their articles for potential inclusion in this Special Issue.
Some related research papers have been published in the previous edition of this Special Issue, which can be accessed using the following link:
