Prologue
“ The need to go astray, to be destroyed is an extremely private, distant, passionate and turbolent truth� George Bataille
Time based events are shown to us through cracks, faults in the buildings, opening in the cemented street. Everyday it ia possible to see these fractures which show the inside of the building, where the ugly bits come out. This manual is showing how to produce a very distinctive type of architecture, in which the most common action of hiding any mistakes, and repairing the defects, is now overcome. these events should be highlighted and architects should use these elements to create a new way of thinking structurally and aesthetically. in order to highlight these faults, it is necessary to know which types of deteriorarion this fiels need to deal with and how to fix it. the scars of the city and what it is usually not clearly visible to our eyes is now becoming alive in the architectural discourse, changing the fabric of the city, constructing new habitats leading to a post- architecture.

Building Pathology Terminology
The term PATHOLOGY is defined as the systematic study of diseases with the aim of understanding their causes, syntoms and tratements. In a medical context, the person becomes he subject of detailed examination and investigation, with consideration given to age, health and lifestyle. A similar approach is relevant in the study of buildings, and it is this methodical and often forensic practice that has to be termed building pathology. Such approach requires a detailed knoledge of how buildings are designed, constructed, used and changed. And the various mechanism by which their materials and environmenral conditions can be affected.

Approach Spatial exploration The city is investigated through a strict archaeological method which is approaching the site with a critical eye to the past, giving a reason of why things are as we see it nowadays. Grasping informations from what wecan observe everyda, and transforming the result of our research into a new way of doing architecture.

Building treatments Solutions
The intension of this manual is to find solutions to the defects prsented nowadays. This should be a guide in order to achieve comptences in a field which is commonly privileged by few people. Repairing the everyday problem is not just DIY which can be both challenging and rewarding, but it is itself making architecture. This book must be used as an encyclopedia, it is easy to learn how to fix any house problems based on your capability level, following the different sections. A link to the local suppliers is as well included. If the project is beyond your capabilities, access to a local expert on our website, to complete the job for you.

Filling material COncept and reasons
The reason why these new materials have been focused on the main aspect of being liquid is because the property of being supple and malleable, it is obviously important for the precision in which it gets into small scale fractures and details. Rather than use a solid material to then apply on the surface of your floor or on the wall, the fact of being a liquid substance is definetely the most convienient and easy way of repairing by yourself any default. The quality of been able to use it, and in case of waster material just re-cast it intoa new shape. It is indeed the best option available in the market of building materials.

If you do not use the whole amount of the insulation you could easily keep it tidy and clean in your flat through the pressurization of the cellulose insulation.
The product will last at least one year from the making. Remember to write down date and percentage of product used. IF instead the mixing material was too much, just leave it to cool down at the bottom of the basket or any other container which you used and it will solidify in a couple of hours. Just turn the basket over and the filling will just crack and you could throw it away.

Carpet floor
Several can be the problems related to carpet, as poor soundproof insulation, crushing, when the the pile loose itsthickness because of foot traffic or instead for the weight of heavy pieces of furniture can cause indentations in carpet. Some depressions may be permanent. This manual will relate with carpets and dampness problems or filtration soil, a s dark or grayish lines on carpet along walls, stairways and under doors. It is caused by airflow over and through carpet, allowing fine soils to settle on the surface. It is often caused by an improperly balanced ventilation system, when the volume of air entering a room exceeds the system’s capacity to remove air from the room. Type A- Vinamould filling
Step 1. Rip off the damp carpet make sure to take away every bit as well underneath the skirting.
Step 2. Use tools which you could easily cut, lift up easily the carpet and at the same time stop the vinamould from spreading everywhere.
Step 3. Fill with a thick strata of vinamould up to 3mm, all the way underneath the carpet.

Step 1. The cellulose insulation is not just very usefull as its use and properties but as well, for the easier assembling and less need of all those layers which could become one through the new material.
Step 2. It could become just a piece holding trusses together, or being the main part of the roof.
Step 3. The only requirement when replacing the roof with the new material is to have a precise cast of the shape of what it is going to be and as well to calculate your time management, as the insulation, if waited for too long it will starting solidifying on the tube.

When Architects meet Archaeologists
Thermal/Moisture failure One of the functions of a building is to isolate the accomodation from the external temperature conditions. The most important structural factor in chieving this function is the actual envelope enclosing the accomodation, which enable the air from outside coming in and vice ersa. The resistance in any building is known as surface resistance and applies whatever varies depending upon the type of surface. Water is usually one of the main componenet of physical deterioration due to: 1.Movement 2.Salt crystallization 3.Freezing 4.Chemical deterioration which is caused by aggressive soil/atmosphere 5.Biological deterioration including plants-mossesfungi-bacteria
Usually thermal disbalance intact the moisture of the house. The level which the moisture become abnormal, it is when representing unacceptable dampness, so when the material is completely saturated. Movement with fluctuations in moisture content is greatest in wood because of its moisture content well in excess of 100% in the green state of the tree. Softwood in building therefore has an average moisture content of 15%. In addition, high density is often associated with microporosity to crystallize damage.

When Architects meet Archaeologists Case study : Calthorpe Garden Georgian House Analysis
It is a common Georgian flat which is taken as an example in order to understand the evolution in which the house is involved through the action of repair from its users. The outcome is a ritual which with time, will substitute the fabric of the building and transforming the space in something else.

When Architects meet Archaeologists
The Georgian house located in the calthorpe site is taken as a case study of how the dwelling is transformed in a ritual which involve every user. With time, the filling material will substitute the fabric of the building and transforming it in something else. The house as every Victorian house is more than hundred years old. The features of this dwelling are everyday decaying in front of our eyes. The building has been repaired through several years of substitutive material which are not the original one. It is changing appeareance and it is hard to live in. After several years of fixing the fractures and the elements of the house the dwelling is completely unstable and the materials which were filling the faps are now part of the structure, becoming the scheleton of the Georgian house.

Observing the present Through a simple observation of the present state of any building it is possible to see clearly the passage of time, the events which affected the dwelling.

Understanding the default In order to repair and get used to the house in which we live every day, it is just through a categorisation of the failure, which it is possible to choose the right way of approaching the problem.

The Basement Room
The Path
The importance of creating a space around the foundations, which hold the dwelling is to divert the attention on something which is not usually possible to see. The space is created around the deepest point of the Georgian house and it shows its time and deformity.
As a ceremony of the house’s outcome through the years, an underground path is created to exhibit the story of this dwelling, and to show to the public how architecture become today.
