Join AIA East Tennessee for a presentation by Andrew Fearon, FAIC with Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 

Description: Globally, spanning pre-historic to the present day, most structures found in the built environment rely upon wood as a primary material for both structural and finish components. An understanding of the physical properties as well as the application of this organic material provides the basis for formulating solutions for a broad spectrum of contemporary conservation issues. This presentation seeks to illustrate and address material problems typically encountered by stewards of wooden-built heritage; among them bio-deterioration, weathering of wood, diagnostics, assessment, and treatment.

Learning Objective 1:
To understand the rationale and methodology for the conservation of wooden heritage.

Learning Objective 2:
To understand the pathology of wood deterioration.

Learning Objective 3:
To understand the methods of diagnostics for wood deterioration.

Learning Objective 4:
To understand methods of intervention, treatment, and preventive measures for sustainable practice.
