Resumo

Este artigo fornece um resumo crítico das técnicas de restauro empregues para estruturas de madeira e uma análise dos fatores que podem definir a adoção de uma determinada abordagem, neste caso, uma análise sobre Gunns Mill. Gunns Mill é um alto-forno remanescente do século XVII, localizado na Forest of Dean, que foi a principal área de produção de ferro no Reino Unido desde a Idade Média. A casa de secagem de papel meio-enxaimel do século XVIII sobreviveu, no entanto, encontra-se num estado degradado. O conhecimento na primeira parte é aplicado a um aspecto da casa de papel e são discutidas as abordagens para o seu restauro. O restauro não depende apenas das considerações estruturais, do valor histórico e do aspeto visual, mas também da filosofia de conservação adotada, que pode restringir as opções.
