Abstract:
Traditional Canarian Buildings are part of the rural landscape and urban space of the Canary Islands and constitute a relevant element of its architectural heritage, which must be preserved.
Probability, the Pitch wood is the building material that best represents traditional Canarian architecture. The identification of this wood is essential for establishing strategies for the purpose of the preventive conservation and to ensure the preservation of the original materials of the Canarian architectural model.
This work presents an example of practical application for the identification of pitch wood used for carpentry elements in a traditional Canarian building. A methodology proposed by the literature based on thermogravimetric analysis and helium pycnometry is used for this purpose.
