Publisher's Synopsis
The papers in this volume were presented at the 7th International Architectural Finishes Research Conference held virtually in Tel Aviv in 2021. They provide ample evidence of the importance of research into contemporary and historic finishes in expanding our comprehension of the built environment. The case studies cover a wide geographical area and examine various finishes including mural paintings in a Roman palace, a late 19th-century US penitentiary and a fire-damaged English church; tiles in 18th-century Portuguese interiors; the properties of latex paint; a linoleum-covered table; internal and external finishes of the houses of a Ukrainian settlement in Canada; building fa?ades in Gdansk; and the preservation of graffiti.
