Architecture and heritage conservation are increasingly dealing with historic buildings made of concrete and exposed concrete. Exposed concrete has been increasingly used as a design medium over the past nine decades. Over time, the exposed concrete architecture of the time has become historically significant due to its aesthetic, cultural and artistic impact, and is now considered a heritage monument.

The restoration, rehabilitation and maintenance of exposed concrete in historically significant and heritage-protected buildings requires careful and careful handling by specialized conservators and certified concrete technicians, with the aim of preserving as much of the building's original material as possible. An in-depth knowledge of concrete protection and maintenance methods, as well as an understanding of sustainability requirements and material aging characteristics, is a prerequisite to carry out the restoration and maintenance of exposed concrete to approved standards.
