Heritage Renovation

Preserving Our Past, Ensuring The Future.

Bridging Heritage Preservation with Structural Expertise.

Miyamoto Heritage is the cultural preservation division of Miyamoto International, a global leader in structural engineering and disaster risk reduction. Dedicated to safeguarding historic structures and sites, we ensure they continue to echo the rich cultural and heritage legacy of nations.

Safeguarding Cultural Landmarks for Tomorrow

At Miyamoto Heritage, preservation isn’t just an aim—it’s a calling. We understand that historic buildings are more than mere structures; they are living testaments to a country’s culture and heritage. Through our extensive postearthquake surveys in locations such as Umbria, L’Aquila, and Nepal, we’ve gained invaluable insights into what it takes to maintain the integrity of historic sites.

Our goal is to ensure these architectural treasures are not just maintained but are fortified for future generations. Partnering with international agencies, NGOs, and entities that manage historic buildings, we continually refine our methodologies and share our knowledge through international journals and conferences. In a rapidly changing world, we’re committed to holding onto the invaluable pieces of our shared past.

Engineering Resilience in Historic Structures

Seismic Retrofitting: Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that historic structures can withstand natural disasters, thus safeguarding the architectural treasures that define our shared heritage.

Seismic Improvement: From the Torano Church in Italy to industrial buildings employing Dissipative Devices Sismocell, our projects span the globe and the scope of seismic improvement methodologies.

Post-Earthquake Surveys: Our teams conduct rigorous postevent assessments, gathering invaluable data that contributes to the broader understanding of how to better preserve historic sites against natural disasters.

Preservation Guidelines: Our ongoing work in places like Lebanon not only involves hands-on engineering but also the development of guidelines that set the standard for the seismic retrofitting of historic buildings.
