PARISH NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA MISERICORDIA

PROJECT CONTEXT

The Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia, located in the Flores district of Buenos Aires, is a historic parish church known for its early connection to Pope Francis and its role within the local community.

The project focused on façade cleaning and conservation of architectural elements exposed to heavy urban pollution and biological growth.

The intervention combined rope-access façade cleaning with protective nano-coating technologies used in European conservation practice.

TECHNICAL CONDITIONS

• Historic masonry façade exposed to smog, humidity, and biological deposits
• Architectural elements requiring controlled surface cleaning
• High-altitude zones inaccessible from conventional scaffolding
• Need for documentation of intervention areas for architectural supervision

TECHNOLOGIES USED

Rope-Access Façade Cleaning, POV Rope-Access Documentation, Nano Protective Coatings, Drone Surface Documentation

TECHNICAL ROLE

The work combined rope-access façade cleaning with visual documentation systems allowing architectural supervision of high-altitude intervention areas.

POV camera systems mounted on rope-access technicians provided detailed documentation of cleaning and conservation work in areas normally inaccessible from ground level.

Nano-protective surface treatments were applied to reduce future pollution accumulation and improve long-term façade maintenance.

PROJECT OUTCOME

The intervention removed environmental deposits and restored clarity to the church’s masonry surfaces and architectural details.

The project also demonstrated the integration of rope-access intervention, POV documentation, and nano-protection systems for façade conservation in dense urban environments.
