Architecture & Engineering encourages research and partnerships with organizations
and institutions working to advance preservation technology for buildings and other
structures.
NCPTT’s Architecture & Engineering goals are:
- To transfer technologies and technical information among agencies and organizations,
and between professional disciplines.
- To disseminate research results towards increasing access to technology and expertise
relevant to the built environment.
- To provide on-site training programs aimed at scholars and professionals in practice.
Meeting the Needs of Preservation
In addition to our efforts in preservation education, we are searching for ways
to combine sustainable design and preservation. The environmental impact of pollution
on the built environment is one of NCPTT’s research
priorities.
Interpreting this broadly, Architecture and Engineering is focusing on sustainable
practices that can greatly reduce the effects of the built environment on the natural
world. Through this initiative NCPTT aims to unite proponents of preservation and
of the sustainable design movement.
