Architectural Conservation and Restoration

The demand for architectural conservation and restoration has increased significantly over the past years, which spurred the ICA to create an architectural division in 2006.  ICA architectural conservators are fully trained and well versed in the complete repertoire of specializations within the conservation arena, including forensic and materials analysis. The department specializes in de-installation and installation of murals, tiles, and decorated surfaces.

The architectural department offers services including:

  • Forensic color investigations to determine original color schematics of historic structures
  • Conservation of existing decoration
  • Reconstruction of lost painted decoration
  • Conservation and reconstruction of metal and stone decoration
  • Consultation on preservation of cultural heritage
