Library - Dominican Convent in Dubrovnik

Humidity from the walls and through cracks in the facade deteriorates the paper and destroys materials through biochemical processes. The problem of humidity can be solved by installing equipment for preventing the trapping of humidity in the walls and air-conditioning the interior space. In Dubrovnik, the donation was spent on a new system for air conditioning and for reparation of the arches of the outer wall of the library.
