The studies developed by the team of the School of Specialization in Architectural Heritage and Landscape of "Sapienza" University of Rome, concerned the mosaics, mural paintings and coloring have been aimed to the comprehension of the complicated relation between the single analyzed part and the architectural complex. The ”reading” of the current state of the Basilica, i.e. the historical events that made it as we can see today, has been the starting point for the necessary critical to start the restoration project. Mosaics decorated all the walls in the Church of the Nativity.

The profound qualitative changes of indoor air and the progressive increase in the absolute number of pollutants, combined with the scientific awareness of the health impacts deriving from spending more than 90% of one’s time inside confined spaces, have increased the attention onto the needs of well-being, hygiene, and the health of users. This scientific attention has produced studies and analyses useful for evidence-based insights into building performance.

The relationship between users and the built environment represents a fundamental aspect of health. The factors that define the properties linked to health and well-being are increasingly becoming part of building design. In these terms, building information modelling (BIM) and BIM-based performance simulation take on a priority role. Among the key features for the design of Healthy Buildings, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a central role. There are numerous indoor pollutants with significant health effects; volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are to be mentioned among these.
