The four Futuro case studies (Futuro No. 000, Corfu-Futuro, Donaldson-Futuro, Munich-Futuro) presented in this journal document conservation approaches to plastic buildings and elements – case, glass-reinforced (GRP) sandwich panels. They contribute the definition of general approaches, at same time reveal knowledge gaps related their individual histories necessity a framework for managing interventions that are suited GRP history physical fabric selected Futuros, done compared article. comparative analysis demonstrates how important it is integrate adequate research documentation into processes, order understand each building’s significance plan accordingly. arguments deduced from analyses demonstrate which factors differentiate solutions reframe Futuros’ expected life-span managed life-cycle.
