Natural stone for cultural heritage: local resources with a global impact

Original language description

Natural stone is the most widely used inorganic raw material. It was first employed specifically for the construction of dwellings and other buildings, later also used for a growing infrastructure (e.g., defence structures, roads, bridges, ports, etc.). Many of these structures, together with countless sculptures, have become part of the common cultural heritage of all of humankind, and deserving of protection for the next generations to come. In the age of globalization of human activities, resources of local stone deserve even a deeper appreciation and their greater protection. To increase our understanding of the importance of local natural stones for human society and art history, we organized this international and multidisciplinary conference, which should offer a platform to geologists, geographers, architects, sculptors, art historians, archaeologists, art restorers, and all other specialists involved in any aspect of natural stone use in the context of cultural heritage. To fulfil this general objective, the conference was focused on the following topics: (1) Natural stone as a traditional resource: there is no other mineral resource quite like natural stone; (2) Natural stone as a universal building / architectural / sculptural material: how the proper understanding of their properties promotes their successful use; (3) Natural stone durability and the decay of natural stone; (4) Natural stone in monuments: restoration or protection; (5) Open topics for any other aspects of natural stone and case studies
