A comparative study of the microclimatic dynamics in areas adapted for collection conservation purposes from the perspective of sustainability

ABSTRACT The article retrieves and presents the main ways of combining the universe of cultural heritage conservation with the trends of sustainability and, especially, discusses the role of microclimate diagnostics of areas adapted to the museum function in the definition of preventive conservation strategies based on the principles of such movement (by some authors identified as slow conservation). This analysis is articulated with two case studies in which the dynamic behavior of physical-environmental parameters (temperature and humidity) collected during a one-year interval in internal areas of two museums (Museu Paulista and Museu Casa da Xilogravura) are assessed, considering external climatic variations. The results and their interpretation allow corroborating the importance of diagnostics of conservation areas as a planning tool for preventive actions alternative to traditional approaches based on mechanized and automated environmental control. Moreover, they enable envisioning passive strategies that value existing potentials, minimize individual vulnerabilities and concretely contribute to the articulation with a sustainable world.

摘要：本文系统梳理并呈现了文物保护领域与可持续发展趋势相结合的核心路径，重点探讨了适配博物馆功能的区域微气候诊断（microclimate diagnostics），在基于该保护运动（部分学者将其定义为“慢保护（slow conservation）”）原则制定预防性保护（preventive conservation）策略中的关键作用。本研究结合两项案例展开分析：针对保罗斯塔博物馆（Museu Paulista）与木刻版画之家博物馆（Museu Casa da Xilogravura）两座场馆的内部区域，对为期一年监测周期内采集得到的物理环境参数（温湿度）动态变化特征进行评估，并纳入外部气候波动的影响维度。研究结果与相关阐释可佐证，保护区域诊断作为预防性保护行动的规划工具，相较于传统的机械化、自动化环境管控方案具有不可替代的重要价值；此外，该研究还可助力探索被动式保护策略，即充分盘活现有潜力、降低个体脆弱性，并切实推动与可持续发展全球体系的协同融合。
