The course has been designed with the objective to introduce the key aspects of lime, and specifying and using it in practical repair and conservation work on historic buildings. This is a hands-on programme where participants have the opportunity to work on conserving the walls at NUS Baba House, a late 19th century townhouse. The following practical sessions will be held - Lime slaking, Lime mortars, Scratch coat, Float coat, Fine lime skim plaster & Lime wash.
For each session, there is a demonstration after which participants are encouraged to have a go at the work with guidance at hand. All necessary tools, materials, and protective equipment will be provided but participants must use their own outdoor clothing and appropriate footwear. Learning will take place in a relaxed environment with ample opportunity for discussion.
The programme is conducted by Dr Nikhil Joshi who is a Postdoctoral Fellow with NUS Department of Architecture.
