Bauforschung is a fundamental part of every methodology
specifically designed to evaluate and maintain historical
buildings. The first step towards censervation and restoration
involves being well informed about a building's cultural and
historical importance: thus it is necessary to survey it in all its
different aspects and at every possible level of significance.This
requires a thorough investigation by a specialist or Bauforscher
who is trained as an architectural historian, in the most
fundamental sense of the term. Bauforschung involves the first
investigative phase of archtectural historical research, combining
the analysis of archaeological, historical and iconographical
source material with the complete recording of a building's
appearance and pathology. The German word Bauforscher can in fact
be translated literally as "building researcher," implying not only
a mastery of the skills of the historian, archaeologist and
architect, but also of the materials specialist and the surveyor.
This book contains the report on the experiences of building
researchers from many different European countries, who met at the
Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation in 1996."
