ModificationThe discipline of Modification is of technical origin and builds on classical restoration work. It concerns the study of the ‘bricks and mortar’ of the building – or today, of the concrete and steel structures at the core of a building. The authenticity of the building, depending largely on the choice of materials and colours, the method of construction and the detailing, is at stake here. This discipline gives students an invaluable intro- duction to the architectonic effect of materials and colours, and – another important issue – their aging. Research in the archives is important to determine which template needs to be used for the restoration: is the oldest look always the most authentic, or do the most recent additions also have an independent right to existence within the structure as a whole?
