This monograph was conceived as a collection of visual templates designed to quickly identify various types of destruction at a real object in the field of its inspection as part of preparatory work before restoration, repair, and so on. In the process of preparing the monograph, the authors were unable to find such a systematized and generalizing work in Russian literature. The book can be used by practitioners and scientists working in the field of restoration, construction and repair of buildings, historians, ecologists, designers and other interested people, as well as a teaching aid for students of relevant technical and humanitarian specialties.
