This workshop will thoughtfully approach using materials analysis to inform preservation design. Through presentations with integrated case studies and practice using a local building, participants will explore universal issues related to materials testing. Specific topics will address: materials testing philosophy and methods; necessary research and survey before testing; sampling considerations; strategies for efficient data collection; the testing process and standardization in testing; interpretation of test results; communicating with the project team; data interpretation and using the results; and cost, budget, and schedule.
