Episode 1. Heritage damage assessment

The first episode opens the series with a question that cannot wait: how do we assess damage to cultural heritage while the war is still ongoing? 
Starting from the scale of destruction in Ukraine, the conversation shows why damage assessment is not a neutral technical task, but a moment where critical decisions are made — about safety, priorities, and what can still be saved.
Italian and Ukrainian experts share how different systems respond to emergencies and what happens when methods developed for earthquakes are applied to wartime damage. The episode moves between practice and context: from standardized assessment forms and coordinated response structures to the very real challenges of blast waves, hidden structural failures, and working in unsafe environments.
Throughout the discussion, heritage appears not as a static object, but as something fragile and living, requiring careful documentation, early conservation, and collaboration across disciplines. This episode sets the tone for the series by showing that the way we assess damage today directly shapes the future of heritage recovery tomorrow.
