Acknowledgement
Hoi An Ancient Town, a World Heritage site, is famous for its exceptional outstanding architecture, but it is also a place where the local community lives their normal life. Although
the conservation work here has achieved remarkable results, it now faces great challenges
of development. In order to provide timely guidance for the best ways of preserving, using
and promoting Hoi An heritage on the basis of the principle firmly conserve, sustainably
promote, the Homeowners Manual which is prepared and edited thanks to joint efforts
of experienced experts of UNESCO, Showa Womens University (Japan) and the Hoi An
Center for Monuments Management and Preservation, is an important and necessary resource. Rich in content, well-illustrated and easy to understand, the Manual presents and
alerts readers of the potential risks caused by daily life which could be harmful to the ancient monuments. The book not only helps homeowners to enhance understanding of their
tangible and intangible cultural heritage and provides them with a methodology that helps
them better manage their houses, it is also a source for guiding domestic and international
visitors about appropriate attitude and behavior needed when they are at the heritage site.
The Department of Cultural Heritage highly appreciates this well-timed initiative.
We express our sincere thanks to the books authors for their efforts in making such a
practical manual. We wish scholars and UNESCO continue to do research, edit and publish similar publications, or to undertake timely actions to assist Viet Nam in carrying out
conservation work.
We hope the Manual is not only helpful for Hoi An and for other heritage sites in Viet
Nam, but also valuable for many other heritage sites worldwide.
Thank you.

I. CONSERVATION AND CONTEXT

I. BI CNH V CNG TC BO TN

Ia. Understanding conservation principles

Ia. Tm hiu cc nguyn tc bo tn

The overall goal of conservation is to maintain the cultural significance of a historic building
and its context. The cultural significance of a building can be defined by its architectural,
historic and social values. These values are expressed in both the physical fabric of the
building itself, as well as the relationship of the building to the customs and daily lives of its
inhabitants. The values that the building has may be significant at the international, national
or local levels. For instance, a building can be architecturally significant at the national
level, but may have been associated with a major historic event, making it historically
significant at an international level. However, its current social significance may be just
for the local community.

Conservation includes a range of activities that will lead to this end goal, starting with the
first step of maintenance and moving on to restoration, adaptation and even reconstruction.
Maintaining the condition of a historic building while preventing or reducing further decay
is a fundamental task for homeowners. Restoration involves returning the building to the
state which is identified as being most culturally signficant, and may require the removal of
inappropriate later additions. Adaptation of the building can provide a welcome solution to
ensure the long-term viability of a building or its conservation. In finding an adaptive reuse
for a building, the homeowner should carefully consider the most appropriate use which
is compatible with the buildings character, size and social significance. Reconstruction
may be warranted in some cases if a historic building would otherwise lose its structural
stability or its significance, particularly for its users.

In oder to conserve the authenticity of a historic building, a minimum intervention

approach is often advocated, in which the homeowner should undertake as much work
as required to sustain the building, but as little as possible in order to maintain the orginal
fabric. This minimal approach was first outlined in the Venice Charter (1964) and is still
widely used as a basic principle by conservation professionals.

However, in practice, this may not always be possible or desirable. For instance, in the case
when a minimal approach is taken in retaining vunerable wooden structures, a costly regime

The Operational Guidelines of the World Heritage Convention recommend that the physical
authenticity of a historic buildings and its context should be preserved in relation to several
aspects: design, materials, workmanship and setting.

The use of traditional materials and building techniques is particularly important in

maintaining the physical authenticity of the building. In many cases, the traditional materials
and building techniques contribute to more than just the pleasing aesthetic of the building.
The properties of traditional materials and techniques have been tested over generations
in their ability to keep the building cool or warm, prevent damp and mold, and provide
seismic stability. Respecting the traditional construction system will allow the building
to be preserved for a long time. At the same time, using traditional materials and crafts
generates employment for traditional craftspersons and workmen, and also preserves the
traditional knowlegde in these areas.

The widespread use of perishable materials in Asia, and the importance of the intangible
significance of buildings, have to led a more holistic interpretation of authenticity in the
region. The Nara Document on Authenticity (1994) raises the importance of defining
authenticity in its socio-cultural context. In practical terms, this means that homeowners
must weigh the importance of retaining original building fabric versus maintaining the
spiritual and cultural values which may call for a more interventionist approach, and in
some cases, even reconstruction.

Hoi An is a coastal town in Quang Nam province in central Viet Nam, located at 150 North
and 1080 East. Located on the Thu Bon river, it is thirty kilometers southeast of Da Nang
City and fifty five kilomesters to the north of Tam Ky town, six kilometers from the Dai
estuary to the west.

of Hoi An was gradually formed. Later, the town was taken over by the Champa and Lam

Ap Pho was developed, which was the main international commercial hub of Champa
from the eighth to the tenth century. Between the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries,
under the open commercial exchange policies of the Nguyen Lords and the Kings of the
early Nguyen Dynasty, Hoi An inhabitants actively took advantage of the towns prime
geographical position on the growing international maritime route. During this time, Hoi An
became an important international trading port and was the biggest commercial exchange
center in Dang Trong. Foreign merchants from Japan, China and the Europe settled and
traded in the town.

an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian trading port
(Criterion v).

Hoi An ancient town includes many building types such as shophouses, communal houses,
pagodas, temples, bridges, family chapels, tombs and wells, assembly halls and markets.
Its area is 0.3 square kilometers, with a length of 1,000 metres and a width of 300 metres.
The buildings are located within a grid formed by lengthwise streets running east-west and
cross streets running north-south. The east-west direction streets include Phan Chu Trinh,
Tran Phu and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Bach Dang. The streets in the
north-south direction include Hoang Dieu, Nguyen Hue, Tran Quy Cap, Tieu La, Hoang
Van Thu, Le Loi, Chau Thuong Van and part of Hai Ba Trung. Streets located south of Tran
Phu street were gradually formed from the end of the eighteenth century to the end of the
nineteenth century. (See Figure 1-2.)

The shophouse is composed of three buildings. They are: a front (main) building, a rear
building (annex), and a bridge building which connects the front building with the rear
building. There is a courtyard between the front building and the rear building, which is
paved with stones and furnished with an ornamented basin on the wall facing the bridge
building. Behind the rear building, there is a kitchen and a backyard.

In some cases, a decorative small building is attached behind the front and / or rear
building. Generally, the small building has an independent roof which is supported by
a roof frame called trnh chng tr i, which is composed of horizontal beams and
vertical posts. In many cases, they are ornamented richly.

There is usually a deep overhang at the front of the shophouse. It usually starts as a
space of one span added to the main building. In some cases with the passing of time,
the space might have been integrated into the main roof. In the system of building using
wooden structure, the overhang would have been the main way to enlarge the space
of the building. It is one of the key concepts to understanding the typology of wooden
buildings. In this sense, it is different from the English term eave.

A family chapel is a detached house built on a square lot. The lot is enclosed by a fence
and there is a large garden in front of the main building. The core plan and structure
are the same as the main building of a shophouse, and it is enlarged on all sides with
overhangs. Often another building for residential use is constructed at one side of the
lot. It looks very much like the garden houses found in the suburbs of Hue.

Firstly, from the perspective of the exterior, the traditional buildings create a lively

Since it may not always be feasible to find primary sources, sources of secondary
information should also be consulted. These include:
Books and journal articles
Newspaper and magazine article, particularly local media
Reports form local heritage bodies or conservation agencies
The documentary research will give you a better understanding before you conduct a physical
investigation of the building. The physical investigation will allow you to assess the current
condition of the building and uncover traces of how the building has changed over time.
Together, the documentary research and the physical investigation will give you a more
complete picture of the buildings original state, its evolution and its current condition.

Once you have gained an understanding of the significance of the building type and have
obtained and analysed the documentation about your own building, you will be able to make
an informed assessessment about how your building is significant. In other words, what is
most significant about your building and needs to be conserved in its entirety? what is less

The roof shelters the residents from severe climate: strong sunlight, rainwater,

The flat roof that is often adopted in modern buildings is not good for the townscape
and it shortens the life of the building. It does not drain the rainwater effectively.
Also, it cannot exhaust the hot air from the building interior, which rises upwards
and escapes through vents in historic buildings with pitched roofs.

in fact reduce the heirtage value of your building?

It may be helpful for you to clearly write down a statement of significance. This is a short
statement which explains all the different aspects of significance of the building. By
identifying what are the important characteristics of building, it will help you develop clear
guidelines for future conservation activities. These guidelines can then be used jointly by
the homeowners, architects, contractors, craftspersons and other involved persons. See
Figure 2-4 to see an overview of this process.

In the case of historic towns, the significance of one particular building may not lie in its
unique characteristics, but rather in its contribution to the streetscape and the neighborhood
as a whole. When your building is seen as part of a larger urban context, the homeowner
does not have to justify the significance of the building by finding unique architectural or
historic characteristics. Rather, the building may be significant in its typicality: vernacular
style, traditional relationship to the street and sympathetic relationship to its neighboring
buildings.

Assess the significance of your building by rating it on the basis of the different values
discussed above. For each value, assign a rating and write a short justification.

Hy nh gi tm quan trng ca ngi nh qua vic xp loi trn c s nhng gi tr khc

nhau nh tho lun trn. i vi mi gi tr, hy xp loi v vit nhng nhn xt

Your justification should point out particular aspects or even parts of the building which
may be the source of significance - for instance, the very first section of the house which
was built or a room which has a rare architectural decoration.
Since the way of assigning rating will be slightly different from one homeowner to another,
it will not be possible to use these ratings to compare the significance of one building to
another. The positive benefit of assigning the ratings is more for each homeowner to better
understand the relative values of his/her own building.
Finally, based on the assessment try writing a statement of significance. A sample statement
of significance is provided below. Note that the statement of significance clearly defines
the significant values of the building.

This sample statement of significance is about the Truong family chapel. This monument
was restored by the Hoi An Peoples Committee with the technical and financial assistance
from the Japanese. It was recognized with an Award of Merit in the 2004 UNESCO AsiaPacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation, along with five other restored
folkhouses in other provinces of Viet Nam.

The Truong family chapel house at 69/1 Phan Chau Trinh Street is a historic monument
owned by the private owner. It was built in 1848 by the Truong ancestors who migrated
from Fujian province in China to settle and trade in Hoi An. They served as important
officials in the Nguyen Dynasty.

This family chapel is representative of the typical traditional architecture of the family
chapel in Hoi An. It is composed of the gate, the main building (the family quarters) and
the worshipping building. The main buiding and the worshipping building were built close
to each other in an L-shape. The roofs are covered in the typical yin-yang tiles. The house
is noted for its wooden rafter structure which is carved skillfully.

IId. Determining future uses of the building and requirements

IId. Xc nh vic s dng di tch trong tng lai v nhng yu cu

Depending on the existing function of your building, you can consider a range of options
for the future use of the building. On the one hand, the homeowner may choose to retain
the existing use of the building, whether it is a house or shop. Even if the existing use is
retained, it may be necessary or desirable to make some changes, such as the upgrade of
various building systems (airconditioning, electricity or plumbing).

On the other hand, the homeowner may wish to change the use of the building, for instance,
from a house to a small hotel. In this case, it is necessary to determine all the requirements
for such a change in order to determine if this change will be feasible within the physical
limits of the buildings layout, the limits of budget, available skill/technology. In any case,
the proposed adaptation should respect the cultural significance of the building.

Generally speaking, the building can be adapted most easily if the suggested new use
is not very different from the existing use and is compatible with the scale, character
and surrounding context of the building. This will ensure minimum intervention in the
building and therefore minimize the loss of its cultural significance. It will also be more
economical.

Before starting with any restoration or repair work, it is important to first have a complete
understanding of the condition of the building. This chapter will provide the homeowner
with an introduction to various common problems found in the historic Hoi An houses and

Vulnerable areas in the building

Nhng v tr d b h hng trong cng trnh

Facade details
The deep overhang protects the building from rain and wind, so there is not much danger
of damage to the facade.
There is a worrying tendency to remove the traditional latticed shutters because of their
inconvenience in usage. This trend should be carefully monitored.
Courtyard details
In particular, the pillars that support the veranda, handrail, and floor are vulnerable to
damage.
The courtyard possesses essential functions of providing sufficient sunlight and ventilation
to the rooms. Careful attention must be paid so as not to interfere with these functions.
Gutter (valley between roofs)
Being the most vulnerable part of Hoi An buildings. This is where the rainwater from
the roof gathers. Although waterproofing measures are taken by applying plaster, leaves
are prone to accumulate there, resulting in blockage of drains. As a consequence, the
plaster may become damaged and leak and this in turn will damage the materials that
support the roof.
Ends of beams and purlins inside the walls or gables
The part between the party wall (side wall) and the roof is weak. If the joint becomes
cracked, it will allow the intrusion of rainwater. As a result, the roof frame materials
along the party wall (side wall) will become particularly vulnerable to deterioration.

Ridge section
The ridge section is built strongly. However, because of its heavy weight, once the
cracks begin to set in and cracks emerge which allow water to seep in, the materials that
support the roof, such as ridge beam, will be damaged. Roof damage is the biggest cause
of building deterioration, in particular, of the rafters, beams, and pillars by the wall.
The part between the side wall and roof frame materials is weak and is prone to suffer
from water leakage. As a result, the roof frame materials along the side wall become
vulnerable to deterioration.
Bottom parts of pillars
Because of moisture from the floor, the base of pillars deteriorates easily.
It is possible to replace only the part that is damaged by using the method of
underpinning.

Pillars play a principal center part in

the structural system. They support
the roof and second floor. To be
accurate, pillars support inclined
beams, inclined beams support
purlins, and purlins support rafters.
Horizontal beams connect the pillars
and make the pillars erect.

Each pillar is placed on a cornerstone which in

turn is placed on a base stone. (The cornerstone is
sometimes omitted). It is supposed that they are used
in older houses. In some cases, square pillars are used.
Most of them are round pillars with entasis. A tenon
and mortise system is used to connect pillars with
horizontal beams, and the joint is tightened by using
a large and symbolic pin.

Pillars are susceptible to rot. The lower

part is especially vulnerable due to dampness from the ground. In the case where
rainwater penetrates from the roof, the
core of the pillar might become hollow
from top to bottom.

Partition wall and floor / Tng ngn v sn It is thought that the first floor of Hoi An
buildings was originally partitioned into
several rooms by wooden partition walls
and certain sections of the floor were
elevated. However, in most of the buildings
today, these elements have been lost. It is
thought that the elevated space partitioned
by walls was mainly used as a bedroom. It
is possible that part of the living room was
also elevated.

Through factors such as changes in family
composition and lifestyle, the partition walls
and elevated floors have been removed in
most of the buildings. In the case where the
building is to be restored as a cultural asset,
there is a need to survey the traces of pillars,
to draw up the reconstruction. If possible, the
building should be actually restored to this
original state. The floorboards of the second
floor are susceptible to damage through
leakage of rainwater from the roof.

Walls separate the interior from the exterior. In

particular, the facade wall is equipped with fittings,
such as doors and windows, that mediate influences
from the exterior.

The facade is the face of a house. Hence, it is

beautifully designed. It can be either brick or
wood construction. The latter is to be found
in older houses. The wood wall is composed
of an exquisite combination of small wooden
panels, creating a beautiful pattern.
The windows can be divided broadly into
two types: latticed shutters (sliding board) or
hinged doors. For the old type of hinged doors,
wooden board is used. For the new type, glass
or louvers are used.

Traditionally, the front wall is positioned

slightly inward from the street under a
deep hien. Hence, it is protected from the
rain and wind. However, in some cases the
front wall is exposed directly to the street
or has been reconstructed, for instance
along Tran Phu Street, which was widened
in the past. Also, because the traditional
latticed shutters are troublesome to open
and shut, they tend to be remodeled.

The wooden balconys handrail, floor and

ends of beam are furnished with elaborate
decorations. In many cases, crabshell ceiling
can be found on the underside of eaves that
cover the balcony.

The wooden balcony is especially

susceptible to rain and wind; hence, it is
vulnerable to damage.

As can be seen from Fig. 1-4, certain types of buildings

have balconies on the second floor. It can be either
brick or wood construction. The second floor balcony
has the function of extending the interior outward and
enhancing the pleasantness of the residential space.
It probably became popular through the influence of
Western architecture.

Courtyard / Sn tri

The courtyard is the life line for a

shophouse. It plays a very important
role in providing the rooms with sunlight
and fresh air. It also provides a space for
outside activities.

Most of the courtyards are paved with

stones and furnished with a fountain,
paintings and plants.

Often courtyards have been renovated

to make extra rooms. They can also be
adversely affected by neighboring tall
buildings.

Rainwater that falls on the roof concentrates

in courtyards, so it is important to drain the
water out immediately. However, drainage

Terrace or stoop under front overhang

Important characteristics

Potential problems
Nhng nguy c tim n

The deep overhang construction creates

a space between the interior and the
street and helps to ensure privacy of the
residents while still maintaining a sense of
liveliness for the people looking from the
street. This space also helps to protect the
building and the people on the street from
sun and rain.

The overhang is a space roughly from

1 to 2 meters in depth. It is enclosed by
the facade wall, side walls, and roof,
creating a cozy pocket-like atmosphere.
The view of inner courtyard from here is
very beautiful.

In some countries, this space is lost due to

enclosure as an interior space or setting the
buildings back from the street to make room
for garage, etc. For these reasons, the number
of enclosed buildings has increased. This kind
of situation should be avoided in Hoi An.

Roof / Mi

The roof is the essence of a building. There

is no building without a roof (though
there can be a building without walls). It
shelters the residents from rain, sun, cold
and heat.

The traditional roof is vulnerable to deterioration.

If it is not maintained well enough, rainwater
can penetrate through the cracks and damage
the structural members. In particular, the gutter
where two sloped roofs meet is very weak. The
gutter should be cleared periodically so that the

According to the Hoi An laws, the buildings in the Core Zone and in the Special Category
and Category 1 must be strictly preserved. Buildings in other zones and categories must
also be protected to different degrees. The homeowner should consult the Hoi An Center
for Monuments Management and Preservation about the status of their building and the
guidelines for proceeding.

It is important to note that even if the building appears to be of new construction at first
glance, it may be that only the facade was changed to brick construction, or only certain
original elements of the building were lost. Even in the case of a brick-built colonial-style
building, if the roof frame is wooden construction, it may be necessary to preserve the
building in the traditional form.

3. Are there any parts of the building that appear to be fine but are infested with termites?
4. Are there any parts of the building that are suffering from water leakage?
If any of the above problems can be detected, you should consult with the Hoi An Center
for Monuments Management and Preservation. In some cases, it may be necessary to carry
out repair work in order to preserve the building.
What are the types of repair work?
The main types of repair work include:
1. Reroofing
2. Reroofing and repair of wooden parts
3. Complete dismantlement and restoration work to preserve the present form of the
building
4. Complete dismantlement and restoration work to restore the building to its original
form
The homeowner should consult with the Hoi An Center for Monuments Management and
Preservation to determine the most appropriate type of repair work for your building.
How should repair works be carried out?
In repairing historic buildings, if it is not done properly, the value of the property will be lost
forever. The major types of repair work should be carried out only after thorough preparation
and attainment of sufficient financing. In the cases where it is judged to be necessary to carry

financially difficult to carry out complete dismantlement and restoration, the homeowner
may choose to carry out reroofing and repair of wooden parts as a temporary measure. The
temporary repair work is carried out to stabilize the dangerous condition of the building
and to prevent further deterioration of the building in the short term. In the long term, it is
usually necessary to carry out complete dismantlement and restoration.

The majority of the buildings in Hoi An are shophouses. Tourists generally have preference
for shops with traditional construction. The fundamental rule concerning the alteration
or adaptation of the shop section is to utilize the traditional building form as much as
possible.

1. Installing air conditioners, lighting fixtures and wiring

1. Lp t my iu ha, h thng chiu sng v h thng dy in

Converting a shophouse into a shop or restaurant often entails installing additional electrical
works. The internal electrical installations should be installed in a way which pays thorough
attention to safety as well as appearance, so as not to spoil the charm of the house.

If possible, airconditioners should be installed in an inconspicuous position. A wooden

enclosure may be used to make the airconditioners less conspicuous.
For houses that were built before the advent of electricity, the brightness of illumination
should be controlled to a moderate level. The ideal lighting fixtures are the ones that provide
indirect lighting and spot lighting.
Wiring should be installed in a way that does not impair the appearance of the interior.
Wiring should have the anti-fire cover with suitable color (either wooden color or wall color
of the house) and high fail-safe level. The electrical wires should be installed on the reverse
side of pillars and the upper or reverse side of beams, in order to be less conspicuous.
2. Installing water-related facilities
Installing these facilities (washroom, kitchen, etc.) can have a negative impact on the
preservation of the building. The homeowner should consult with the Hoi An Center for
Monuments Management and Preservation before taking any action.

Vb. Technical advice

Vb. T vn k thut

In undertaking the work, the homeowner should seek the advice of relevant technical
experts who can ensure that the project follows legal regulations and proper conservation
standards. They can be contacted at the Information Consultancy Office of the Hoi An
Center for Monuments Management and Preservation (HACMMP).
Conservation architect
The conservation architect should be involved in s upervising the drafting of the repair and
restoration plan. He/she will make decisions concerning the permissible external form of the
building if new construction work is carried out, as well as provide advice to homeowners
concerning possible building alterations and adaptive reuse. The conservation architect
is in a position to judge all possible issues related to historic buildings from an overall
standpoint. As such, it is advisable to consult with this expert first.
Structural engineer
The structural engineer should check the safety of the supporting structures in a building,
such as pillars, beams, walls, foundations and floorboards. The structural engineer can
also provide advice on the methods of reinforcing the building parts depending on their
degree of damage.
Mechanical engineer
The mechanical engineer should supervise the installation of building systems such as water
supply, plumbing, sanitary fixtures, electrical wiring and installations, etc. The mechanical
engineer also checks the safety of these systems to prevent calamities such as fire.

Landscape architect
The landscape architect should provide advice to ensure that the building conforms to the
historic townscape. This includes checking the views of the building, courtyard and backyard
from the street to see if they fit in with the traditional context. If the historic form of the
building is unknown, the landscape architect can give advice about appropriate building
form that will fit in with the surrounding buildings. The landscape architect can also provide
advice concerning paving and planting to enhance the townscape.

left on the ground or walls, it will be necessary to conduct a survey by removing floor
materials or undertaking minor excavation. On these occasions, the archaeologist should be
present on site to examine the evidence. If some kind of historic remnants are discovered
during the restoration or construction work, the homeowner should contact the archeologist
promptly to seek instructions.

In restoring historic monuments, the following budgetary resources are available:

1. Investment by private homeowners
2. Investment by government units at various levels
3. Donations by international organizations

1. Investment by private homeowners. This is the main source of funds, as the other sources
are only supporting budgets. The required budget will depend on the extent of restoration
to be done (either complete or partial). The amount of funds available will have an impact
on deciding whether to restore the house or not.

Receiving state funding is based on the following main criteria: (i) the difficult financial
situation and family circumstance of the owners, (ii) the value of the historic monument
(Special, Categories 1, 2, 3), (iii) the level of deterioration of the building and (iv) the
location of the building (on the main street or in an alley).
In order to request state funding, you must send your application form to the Hoi An
Center for Monuments Management and Preservation which has been endorsed by the
Peoples Committee of the ward in which you are living. The Center staff will compile a
list of requests, survey the current situation of each building and invite the Council for
Reviewing Support for Restoring Monuments. This Council will consider the requests and
submit its recommendation to the Hoi An Peoples Committee for approving the final level
of funding. For further information, contact the Hoi An Center for Monuments Management
and Preservation at 10B - Tran Hung Dao Street or the Consultancy Office for Heritage
Information at 57 Tran Phu Street.

How to repair
Cch sa cha

In the case of pillars, damage is most prevalent around the base, the joint
with a beam, and the core. To repair the base, remove the damaged part
and underpin with new wood (see Figure 6-16a). To repair the joint with a
beam, hollow out the damaged part and fill in with new wood (see Figure
6-16b). To repair the core, hollow out the core part of the pillar, insert new
wood, and fix it securely with epoxy resin (see Figure 6-16c).

Termite damage may not be visible from external appearances, but often the core section is damaged to the
point of becoming hollow. By tapping the wood, it is possible to confirm the hollowness from the sound.
In the case where the core section has become hollow, fill the hollow part with new wood while leaving
the exterior part untouched.

The beams (especially inclined beams) are often decorated with elaborate carvings, and constitute one of
the main attractions of Hoi An houses. One method of repairing the beams is to replace the central part with
new wood while affixing the original wood on both sides of this with adhesive agent (See Figure 6-16d).

In the case of pillars, damage is most prevalent around the base

and the pillars situated along the wall. Where damage is detected,
remove the damaged part and underpin with new wood. If
damage is found along the edge of rafters, purlins, floor beams
and joists along the boundary wall, replacement of materials
should be limited to a minimum. (See Figure 6-17a, 6-17b.)

In the case where the subsidence level is more than 20 cm,

major reinforcement work needs to be carried out on the
foundation. In this case, ferro-concrete beams are placed on
top of the lime mortar foundation and connected crosswise.
Additionally, floor slabs are placed to attain overall unification
(see Figure 6-19a).

Authenticity

According to Management Guidelines for World Cultural Heritage

Sites, authenticity refers to a heritage resource that is materially original

or genuine as it was constructed and as it has aged and weathered in time.

c o v xc thc ng vi nm xy dng hoc vi nin i ca n.

In addition to maintaining the physical aspects of authenticity, there has been growing

Bn cnh bo tn tnh chn xc ca vn ho vt th, cn ch n vic bo tn tnh chn

recognition that the preservation of authenticity should also take into account the preservation
of intangible cultural heritage. This is especially true in Asia, where the intangible values
associated with buildings are very significant, and often require the maintenance of the
original aesthetic of the building. Due to the widespread use of perishable materials, such
as wood, maintaining the authenticity of buildings in Asia may require regular reconstruction
or replacement of parts.
