OBJECTIVES

This project aims at developing a methodology to represent schematically scientific, technical and horology artefacts to accompany / illustrate the steps of their conservation: documentation, condition state, diagnostic, conservation proposals and conservation interventions.

PROGRAM

This methodology is based on several levels of visualization to better understand the running conditions of these artefacts, the way they failed and could be put back in working conditions. It will be tested by HE-Arc CR master students, optimized during the three semesters of the master curriculum and finally applied on a representative artefact for its validation.

A database will be constructed to store the standardized data collected during the different case studies that will run during the SCHEMA-TEC project.

RESULTS

It is planned to continue enriching this database beyond the end of the project and eventually to make it available to conservation professionals interested in the conservation of scientific, technical and horology artefacts.
