I'm working on several interesting projects at present
involving glazed terracotta cladding to buildings.
Two of the buildings are of late 1920s vintage, with
ornate cornices and decorative elements, and one is
1950s, with flat tiling. Heights range between 8 and
13 storeys.
Across the three buildings, I suspect that we have a
complete collection of problems associated with glazed
terracotta cladding.
I'm looking for some ideas in relation to a couple of
questions:
1. If you had to suggest one or two people who could
be considered to be 'experts' on the deterioration and
conservation of glazed architectural terracotta, who
would they be (and how do I get in touch with them)?
2. If I or a colleague was in New York, which
buildings with glazed architectural terracotta would
you suggest we look at with regard to the best (and
the worst) of conservation practices. If anybody
could propose contacts to facilitate better than
'walk-by' viewings of these buildings, that would be
fantastic.
Cheers
