| Abstract: |
The Sydney Opera House is famous for its innovative use of structural concrete and was included in the World Heritage List in 2007. This paper provides a brief overview of recent work focussed on the development of a Concrete Conservation Framework for the Sydney Opera House that was supported by the Getty Foundation through its ‘Keeping It Modern’ initiative, as well as the recent implementation into a Building Information Model with user-friendly graphical interfaces available for managers, the maintenance team and inspectors. Within this framework, each concrete component of the building is planned to be classified and associated with a methodology to assist the Sydney Opera House to determine the best way forward for its conservation in accordance with its Conservation Management Plan. |
