Cultural Projects Management

Aim: to help the new board of directors and the management team to decide whether to continue with the previous project or to change the niche and objectives, as well as to decide whether to reactivate a part of the workshop that has fallen into disuse.

[2018] Analysis of the previous project for the rehabilitation of a medieval fortress in the French Alps and of the proposal for the conservation and restoration of the wall paintings it contains. Aim: to help the promoter team to decide whether the economic valuation is close to the real investment needs, in order to present the proposal to potential sponsors or investors. See link to the project.

[2018] Assessment on how to collect external data (weather, seismic activity) and internal data (geometry, dimensions, constituent materials, cracks) to determine the state of conservation of a Roman temple in Egypt. Aim: to help a team of conservator-restorers to establish a plan of preliminary tests and data collection that would make it possible to determine the risk of collapse of the temple and thus be able to work safely during the conservation intervention campaigns of the temple.

Aim: to provide future conservator-restorers with the necessary tools to, among other things: analyse the resources available to them and what they can do with them; analyse the type of works they can conserve and restore; decide if they want to specialize or to be a multifaceted professional; and whether they need to hire other professionals or collaborators, equipment and machinery to do so; and learn to control the execution times of a project.
