Conservation and Intervention Strategies
The preservation of the tower focuses on minimal intervention to maintain its historical authenticity.
• Preservation: Protecting the original fabric, materials, and unique leaning structure of the tower.
• Adaptive Rehabilitation: Controlled interventions to ensure structural stability, visitor safety, and comfort.
• Routine Maintenance: Regular inspections and minor repairs to prevent deterioration of materials.
Treatment of Structures, Materials, Landscape, and Open Spaces
Treatment of Structures, Materials, Landscape, and Open Spaces
• Structure: Strengthening foundations and walls without altering the tower’s lean; original staircases and floors are maintained.
• Materials: Damaged bricks, cement, and wood are replaced minimally with matching materials to retain original texture and color.
• Landscape & Open Spaces: Surrounding grounds are preserved as public space, including fields and walkways, keeping the tower visually connected to the town.
• Visitor Facilities: Safe pathways, signage, and barriers are designed sensitively to avoid impacting the tower’s historical and visual value.
