Abstract
Heritage buildings face many deterioration factors affecting heritage value, such as Natural Factors (subterranean water and humidity, geology and soil characteristics, climate and weathering factors and natural forces), human urban factors, and technological factors (heavy vehicular traffic, vibration and noises). Also, heritage buildings face some problems in maintenance, protection, preservation, conservation, and restoration. On the other hand, Nanotechnology is now one of the most modern scientific trends; it is precious in determining how well new material functions and how it affects the comfort of building occupants. When shared with all the building actors, this information can become a powerful tool in advocating the use of nanomaterials. Heritage buildings have great value, which should be protected by the available contemporary technology, for instance, nanotechnology.
The research concentrates on the empirical environmental phenomenon, which tries to record and analyse heritage buildings’ problems and how nanomaterials could affect them. Seeking to give a full explanation and description to find out which nanomaterial can be helpful to apply on heritage buildings. Moreover, by analytical comparison between the same global models which have been using Nanomaterials to clarify the extent of variation and the possibility of using nanotechnology to achieve the protection of heritage buildings. The laboratory experiments on the nanomaterials will lead to the output, which is mapping to build accumulative knowledge and experience to generate tentative ideas about solving heritage buildings ’problems with efficient nanomaterials.
This research adopts both Quantitative and Qualitative methods and approaches. Start this with collecting data from: (Literature Reviews and site Visit Observation). Then, by analysing and organizing data, a pilot study about the nanomaterials that could be used in heritage buildings will be done. This will lead to reformulating concepts and hypotheses, experiment testing the hypothesis, observing the case studies in a natural setting to measure the damage, and observing the difference between applying nanotechnology on one sample and another. Architectural heritage recommendations will be established to introduce valuable guidelines for successful heritage conservation in Egypt using innovative approaches, methodologies, and Nanomaterials.
