Research SummaryThe international appreciation of Portuguese tiles (azulejos) has been spurred by the acknowledgement of their integration in Baroque architecture as a unique heritage and by the continued use of painted azulejos that span to modern days. The technology of manufacture, the forms of decay and the materials and techniques for restoration have been studied for pre-20th century azulejos. However, such studies did not include modernist azulejos, manufactured after the second world war (1945-1975). PhD Project title: Conservation of modernist Portuguese azulejos. Supervisors: João Manuel Mimoso (Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, LNEC, Portugal), Alexandre Nobre Pais (Museu Nacional do Azulejo, MNAz, Portugal), Augusta Moniz Lima (VICARTE, DCR FCT-UNL, Portugal) |
