In contrast to other cultural heritage buildings, the Atomic Bomb Dome must be maintained in the exact state of destruction caused by the bomb. This is critical to understanding its relevance and importance as a World Heritage Site. However, recent efforts to combat deterioration and make the site earthquake resistant illustrate that the challenge ahead will be how to best maintain the original building in the years to come. Carefully employing methods and technology best suited for the site’s preservation will be essential to safeguard the dome for future generations.
