Abstract
The results of a diagnostic survey on the materials of several art nouveau buildings in Italy, Portugal and Poland are here presented and compared, as a first contribution to their understanding and, hence, compatible restoration. In particular, the façade decorations were investigated for the appraisal of their materials and technologies, often neglected in current maintenance/restoration works and so cancelled, leading to a severe loss in architectural image. The diagnostic campaign is aimed to highlighting some possibile preservation guidelines for Art Nouveau architecture at an European scale.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
