This article contributes to developing an indicator-based vulnerability assessment framework for cultural heritage sites. It provides a vulnerability index for heritage sites potentially exposed to multiple hazards, including sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, while considering climate change influences. Through determining particular criteria an...
From the few instruments available for the onsite assessment of stone resistance in heritage contexts, not many choices exist for the routine evaluation and/or monitoring of the effects of conservation products, particularly consolidants. Among the few available field methods, some are minor destructive, excessively complex and/or costly; some were...
The Arch of Septimius Severus, in richly decorated Pentelic marble, was erected in the
Roman Forum in 203 CE by the Senate to celebrate the victories of its namesake
Emperor against the Parthians. It consists of three arches, framed by Corinthian
columns with plinths featuring Roman soldiers with Parthian prisoners; the campaigns
of Septimius again...
Given its impact on the perception of observers, the reintegration of lacunae in works of pictorial art is one of the most delicate and debated conservation-restoration actions. This text describes the methodology that guided the technical choices regarding the chromatic reintegration of the lacunae and the protective finishing of the mural surface...
A formação e conhecimento empírico dos conservadores/as-restauradores/as capacitam-nos/as para encontrar e implementar soluções de conservação do património cultural mais eficientes e práticas mais sustentáveis, mas não bastam para garantir que os resultados sejam os esperados-sobretudo no longo prazo, onde apenas um adequado planeamento pode garan...
In response to the adverse effects of natural hazards and climate change threats on cultural heritage, a methodology of risk assessment and management was developed and applied to five pilot sites: the Historical Centre of Rethymno in Greece, the Mellor Heritage Project in the United Kingdom, the Roman Ruins of Tróia in Portugal, the Baths of Diocl...
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) is a decision-support tool that allows strategy comparisons without the need for monetising expected outcomes. Since benefits to be gained in heritage contexts are inherently difficult to price, a CEA may provide valuable support to the allocation of cultural heritage preservation resources. Nevertheless, its appli...
Within the framework of disaster risk management, this article proposes an interdisciplinary method for the analysis of multiple natural hazards, including climate change’s influences, in the context of cultural heritage. A taxonomy of natural hazards applicable to cultural heritage was developed based on the existing theoretical and conceptual fra...
With the importance of Cultural Heritage recognised not only for its contribution in shaping ethnic identities, but also as an important factor in the economic growth of a country through its contribution to tourism, the need of protecting and preserving Cultural Heritage sites has been acknowledged as a priority for our societies. In this course,...
This volume is the result of three years of research and prototype activity performed in the framework of the Horizon 2020 STORM project. Together with twenty organisations comprising the final phase of the pilots, this book forms one of the last initiatives of the Consortium which is briefly presented in the poster reproduced in the last pages of...
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) may constitute a valuable decision-support tool to allocate cultural heritage preservation resources, allowing policy comparisons without the need to monetise the expected outcomes which, in heritage contexts, are largely made of non-use values and inherently difficult to price. Nevertheless, its application in the...
Sítios arqueológicos, património edificado, paisagens, bens móveis e imateriais, protegidos no âmbito da Lei 107/2001, de 8 de setembro, encontram-se expostos à instabilidade dos fenómenos naturais, o que contribui para o aumento da sua vulnerabilidade e potencial perda ou dano. Pensar em modelos de gestão para a salvaguarda do património cultural...
Following a call by the European Commission on Disaster Resilience and Climate, the STORM partnership was formed by 20 partners, dedicated to 5 main sites: Mellor (England), Rome (Italy), Rethymno (Greece), Tróia (Portugal) and Ephesus (Turkey), presenting the rich diversity of European cultural assets. This project proposes a set of novel predicti...
Percursos possíveis para a conservação e restauro na gestão dos riscos do Património construído: parcerias público-privadas em projectos de I&D (Projecto STORM) Abstract This text presents a reflection on the roles that conservator-restorers may play within the context of the disaster risk reduction efforts that Europe currently dedicates to Cultur...
Resumo A conservação do património pode ser pensada como um processo de gestão da mudança que ocorre continuamente sobre um objecto patrimonial com o objectivo de manter e/ou aumentar a significância deste último. A mudança que afecta este tipo de objectos pode ser de natureza muito diversa e ocorrer de forma mais ou menos acelerada, consoante o co...
A procedure is proposed to assess the compatibility of cleaning actions to be carried out upon built heritage. This procedure was designed as a semi-quantitative (in)compatibility risk assessment, where the vulnerability of the substrate to cleaning, the aggressiveness of the cleaning method and the substrate/method synergies are factors considered...
Nos processos exemplares de intervenções sobre o património, as estratégias de acção devem ter como referência os valores identificados sobre o objecto/sítio. Esta premissa, além de expressão do simples bom senso, tem conteúdo substantivo e expressão formal em documentos como as directivas da UNESCO o a Carta de Burra que a designam como "Declaraçã...
The PRODOMEA 8-phase model is a Decision Support System (DSS) that aims at tackling with the diversity of conditions, materials, methods and disciplines involved in monument conservation interventions by accompanying planners through conceiving, designing and execution phases, suggesting recommended actions and key actors for each phase. For most r...
ABSTRACT: The conservation of the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha (Coimbra, Portugal) includes
the open-air display of the ceramic tiles that pave the Main Cloister, some of which exhibit
surface scaling and flaking. The possibilities of minimizing this loss of material resorting to
two TEOS-based consolidants were assessed by characterizing chang...
The Brandian way of envisaging Conservation and Restoration is ramified into spaces that become inescapable when considering an intervention. These spaces propose an approach which is simultaneously multifaceted and integrated, and which necessarily considers the aesthetical and historical duality of each work of art as a sine qua non condition for...

The main objective of STORM is to develop solutions, strategies and tools for the management of emergencies in cultural heritage sites, structures and artefacts. STORM aims at defining, developing and assessing a technologically integrated framework providing eco-innovative, cost-effective and collaborative methodologies to support all involved stakeholders throughout the heritage emergency cycle, including policy-proposal phases.
