Conservation of Architectural Metals
New York is a city of masonry and metals. Its architecture reflects the changes in metal use and manufacture of the past three centuries, and provides an extraordinary laboratory for their study. What is the difference between wrought iron, cast iron, and steel? When were they introduced, how do they deteriorate, how can you visually differentiate them, and how can they be restored? Is that statue lead or zinc? What are the treatment needs of each? How can that copper cornice be replicated or restored? Is that ornament stamped, cast, or brake-formed, and what are the options for restoration? When were nickel silver and monel introduced, and how do they weather? What did that 1930’s aluminum look like when it was first installed? How can that appearance be replicated?
With lectures and field trips this seminar reviews the structural and decorative uses of metals in buildings and monuments from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. The metals to be reviewed include wrought iron, cast iron, and steel; copper and copper alloys including bronze and brass; lead; tin; zinc; aluminum; and nickel and chromium alloys. Assuming that Columbia will once again allow us to bus together to Perth Amboy, NJ, we will pay a visit to V&S Hot Dip Galvanizing (pictured above) to watch steel being dipped into 600,000 pound vats of molten zinc. With visits to some of the City’s most remarkable structures, the course will examine the history of metal manufacture and use; mechanisms of deterioration and corrosion; and cleaning, repair, and conservation.
