In keeping with the legacy of the past six editions, the 7th Historic Mortars Conference (HMC 2025) will focus on research concerning technology and characterization of historic mortars, conservation and restoration issues in historic masonry structures and archaeological sites, design of repair materials (mortars, renders, plasters and grouts), and test methods for historic and repair mortars.
Furthermore, a special session will be dedicated to the topic of heritage-inspired building materials for sustainable architecture, from basic archaeometric research to the development and application of novel products.
HMC 2025 will be open to scientists, architects, restorers, conservators, historians, archaeologists, heritage professionals, companies and cultural stakeholders. It will constitute a gateway of interaction between the academic and professional worlds involved in the fields of study of historic mortars and formulation, application and testing of restoration materials for built heritage, linking advanced scientific research to state-of-the-art industrial production and development.
HMC 2025 is jointly organized by the University of Padova (Unipd), the Politecnico di Milano (Polimi), the Inst. of Condensed Matter Chemistry and Technologies for Energy of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ICMATE), and the Associazione Italiana di Archeometria (AIAr), and co-sponsored by the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM).
