Abstract

Heritage buildings represent tangible links between present and past; embody the creativity and traditions from past generations. The distinctive character of these buildings, primarily expressed through their authenticity and inherited values, emphasizes the need for innovative and carefully adapted conservation approaches. In this context, the present study explores the potential and limitations of non-destructive techniques (NDTs) in the diagnosis and conservation of cultural heritage buildings. By presenting relevant examples from professional literature, the role of NDTs to support sustainable conservation goals is demonstrated.
