Conservation work in Shaanxi, China: The Terracotta Army and Beiwusheng huiguan The joint research projects funded since 1988 by the BMBF Federal Ministry of Education and Research on the protection of cultural heritage in China encompass several sub-projects. In 2013, conservation and restoration work was undertaken in conjunction with students from the TUM at two sites in China. At the Museum of the Terracotta Army of the first Chinese Emperor Qin, broken parts of the terracotta warriors were re-assembled by a team of German and Chinese staff. The Beiwusheng huiguan – Meeting hall of the Five Northern Provinces – in Ziyang in the southern Shaanxi Province is one of the few guildhalls in which the original exquisite wall murals still exist. Concepts and methods for conserving the wall murals were developed together with the Chinese partners in 2010. After completion of the investigative and conservation measures for securing the layers of paint and plaster in 2012, repair work started in 2013. In two separate visits, missing sections were augmented and retouched. The restoration work should be completed by the end of September 2013.

Modell der Nische des Östlichen Buddhas in Bamiyan Die Sicherungsarbeiten an den zerstörten Buddhastatuen in Bamiyan wurden 2012 von beiden Nischen 3D-Scans erstellt. Mit dem Scan des Östlichen Buddhas (Kleiner Buddha, 35 m hoch) wurde ein Modell im Maßstab 1:25 erstellt: Der Luftraum der Nische wurde aus Polyurethanblöcken gefräst. Von diesen wird in einem zweistufigen Vorgehen die Form abgenommen, um das Modell der Nische in Gips zu erstellen. Die Abformung und die Herstellung des Gipsmodells erfolgen im Sommer 2013 in Zusammenarbeit mit der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München: Die Ausführung findet in der Gipswerkstatt der Akademie unter Anleitung der Werkstattleiters Stephan George statt. An dem Gipsmodell werden Möglichkeiten zur Befestigung erhaltener Steinblöcke getestet und visualisiert. 58 große Steinblöcke wurden für diesen Zweck ebenfalls gescannt und in 3D ausgedruckt. Model of the niche of the Eastern Buddhas in Bamiyan As part of work on securing the destroyed statues of Buddha in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, 3D scans were made in 2012 of both niches. A 1:25 scale model was then made from the scan of the eastern Buddha (the smaller 35 meter-high Buddha). The volume of the cavity of the niche was first milled from blocks of polyurethane foam. This was then used in a two-stage process to create a mold for the niche and then to model the niche itself as a plaster cast. The production of the mold and the manufacture of the plaster model was undertaken in summer 2013 in collaboration with the Munich Academy of Arts where the model was made under the direction of the head of the plaster workshop, Stephan George. The plaster model is being used to visualize and test ways of affixing the surviving fragments of stone block. 58 large stone blocks were also scanned for this purpose and reproduced using a 3D printer.
