Stabilisation measures required
to secure the museum
1. Rebuilding an entrance pillar
The right-hand support column has sagged somewhat. It would have to be rebuilt to stabilise the roof.
2. Restoration of the brickwork
Wall sections were supported in the joint area by freshly applied cement. Visually, this looks ugly and does not correspond to the original. A lot of sensitive detail work is required to make the bricks appear in their original colour. The joints need a suitable cement-lime mixture to allow the brickwork to breathe and not ultimately destroy it.
3. Stable floor
The floor is currently made of earth. Instead of organising a shoeshine boy for the guests, a stable floor would certainly be an advantage for future cultural contributions.
At the moment, we have a nice idea of a floor poured in resin, with slices of dead mango trees. Unfortunately, the remains of the trees have been burnt down.
A map anchored in the ground would provide good orientation and increase interest in exploring the area.

4. Doors and windows
secure the museum. Visually, this would be the most massive intervention. It would provide protection against vandalism.
5. Roof tiles
need to be replaced.
In addition, functions should be installed such as a rotating drive belt and the production of sugar cane juice should be made possible.. |
