all of the instruments, suitably concealed, were
intended for continued use to enable supervision
during the operational phase.
During the operation of the auditorium, once
the actions described in the previous sections
were completed and given its status as a “cultural
asset”, routines were devised for the control and
supervision of the work carried out as well as
maintenance programmes to guarantee its perfect
conservation by using periodic controls aimed at
checking effectiveness and ageing.
The maintenance routines will continue for the
time deemed necessary in accordance with the con-
servation of the asset.
The “letter of 1987” defines maintenance as
“
the set of actions programmed on a recurring basis,
aimed at keeping the objects of cultural interest in
optimum conditions and functionality, especially
after they have undergone exceptional interventions
for conservation or restoration purposes. The sched-
ule and implementation of regular maintenance and
control cycles to ascertain the conservation condition
of an architectonical monument is the only guaran-
tee to ensure that prevention is opportune and suited
to the site with regard to the nature of the interven-
tions and their frequency
”.
in short, during the operational phase there
must be continuous supervision of the auditorium
similar to that performed prior to this intervention,
as a complement to the systematic care of it by spe-
cialised teams from the Town council of lanzar-
ote which is considered as absolutely essential.
