英文摘要	The Institute of Conservation at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (IoC) was involved in two projects related to the preservation of earthen architecture and its conservation. These projects were conducted in distinct geographic and climatic regions, each arising from unique building traditions. The Nako temple complex, situated in Himachal Pradesh, India, stands as an extraordinary testament to early Tibetan Buddhism. Dating back to the 11th century, the earthen structures feature polychrome interior decorations and hold immense historical value. Although currently in use, the temples face threats from the harsh environment (at an altitude of 3600 m), climate change and frequent earthquakes. A research project founded by the FWF Austrian Science Fund was undertaken to formulate an appropriate conservation approach, aligning with the original materials and traditions. Additionally the team of IoC conducted on-site conservation campaigns spanning from 2004 to 2010 within which crucial conservation treatments of the temples and their interiors were conducted. On the other hand, Tel Lachish, an archaeological site in Israel, boasts adobe structures dating back to the Bronze Age. Excavations throughout the 20th century uncovered specific structures and exposed these to the elements. To gain insights into the site's condition and its preservation status, a survey was conducted in excavated areas exposed for an extended period, and recently uncovered sections. A comparative analysis of the condition was carried out, allowing for an estimation of the rate of deterioration. Both case studies underscore distinct challenges and requirements associated with safeguarding earthen architecture for the benefit of future generations. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of meticulous investigations into materials and the environment, particularly in the face of climate change. These efforts are imperative for comprehending mechanisms of deterioration and formulating appropriate conservation methodologies.
