Conservation Restoration

The preservation of the built heritage is the core mission of the Design Department.
The main part of our work is based on the preparation of conservation plans and project documentation (PGD, PZI), on the basis of which, in cooperation with experts in other specific fields, we plan interventions in the built heritage.
