| Dr.
Tim Padfield. National Museum of Denmark Conservation scientist at the National Museum of Denmark, his main interest is the microclimate around museum objects and the microclimate within historic buildings that house these objects. He has carried out extensive studies of physical and biological damage caused to buildings by climatic stress and has offered innovatory solutions using porous, absorbent materials to avoid the effects of condensation and act as natural ventilators, absorbing many pollutants. His ideas are a challenge to modern architects and engineers, who are used to building in entirely non-absorbent materials such as glass, steel, titanium sheet and dense concrete. |
