Buildings, like humans, undergo wear and tear over time. As a result, they require periodic rehabilitation and design interventions to maintain their structural integrity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. However, these interventions require a deep understanding of the underlying building pathology and the latest design techniques. Case Studies of Building Rehabilitation and Design: Building Pathology and Restoration offers a comprehensive exploration of these essential aspects.

Understanding Building Pathology

Building pathology refers to the study of the deterioration of buildings and the causes behind it. Understanding building pathology is crucial for effective rehabilitation and design interventions. This book provides detailed case studies that illustrate the different types of building pathologies, such as:
