This paper describes the survey technique and decay analysis applied during a recent study funded by the Maltese government, to support the restoration design of the Malta walls. The surveyed walls refer to Valletta and Birgu and have a total length of 2 Km, for a total surface of 35000 m2. As a conclusion of these large scale survey and analysis, it is possible to highlight the complex environmental and architectural context that influences the deterioration of the Maltese walls and propose a sustainable direction for restoration works. Starting from the study results, the paper aims to focus the importance of the relationship existing between deterioration survey and architectural analysis within conservation process; highlighting the limit of the widespread practice of considering the possibility of a direct correspondence between degradation phenomena and restoration work.

Abstract
This paper describes the survey technique and decay analysis applied during a recent study funded by the Maltese government, to support the restoration design of the Malta walls. The surveyed walls refer to Valletta and Birgu and have a total length of 2 Km, for a total surface of 35000 m2. As a conclusion of these large scale survey and analysis, it is possible to highlight the complex environmental and architectural context that influences the deterioration of the Maltese walls and propose a sustainable direction for restoration works. Starting from the study results, the paper aims to focus the importance of the relationship existing between deterioration survey and architectural analysis within conservation process; highlighting the limit of the widespread practice of considering the possibility of a direct correspondence between degradation phenomena and restoration work.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
