Progress does not amount to destroying the future, but to preserving its essence, to generate the impetus to do it better today (Y. Ortega Y Gasset 1951). Working in the areas of history and construction technology, the spirit of these statement guided my research: developing a research method for buildings not listed (yet) as monuments but needed to be analysed before the next approach. When studying buildings it is essential to consider not only the art history, social and urban planning factors, but especially the construction engineering aspects. In this way, a deeper understanding of the underlying design and building methods used in our built environment can be developed. There have been many historical and architectural studies of buildings. The period since the Second World War has received particular interest. Unfortunately, most of these studies do not address the technical aspects of the construction of these buildings. However, these issues were covered by publications at the time these buildings were constructed. Technology provided me with the inspiration to develop a more comprehensive research method to assess buildings: Analysing Buildings from Context to Detail in time: ABCD research method. Technology, at academic level, should be considered in the analysis of a building. Here we are concerned with construction engineering, the study of the requirements associated with constructing buildings. The Analysing Building Construction in time research matrix (ABC matrix) can be used in practice. It incorporates the study outcomes which relate to the building itself. Contextual aspects as well as building aspects are included. They can be analysed at the three time levels to draw conclusions which are relevant to the future existence of the building. The case study of the Friesland Provincial Library in Leeuwarden will be worked out in the conference paper.

With the continuous development of the social economy and the relentless progress of modernization, the construction industry has greatly contributed to the rapid development of urban planning. High-rise buildings are playing an increasingly important role in Russia’s economic construction. Based on the research and analysis of the current state of high-rise building development in the world and Russia, as well as the technical characteristics of construction control, to summarize the current problems in the high-rise building construction control field in Russia and put forward the relevant control measures. Based on an extensive review of scientific literature at home and abroad, this study analyzed the following issues as high-rise building construction control in terms of development history, influencing factors, and technical characteristics of Russian high-rise buildings, where the key focus was on the historical development and technical attributes of high-rise buildings in Russia; the current shortcomings and development prospects of Russian high-rise buildings were identified, and analogies and graphical analogies were proposed. In Russia, the development of high-rise buildings is hampered by the fact that 30 years ago, there was no unified regulatory and research base on high-rise building management. Currently, the Russian Ministry of Construction is actively developing normative and methodological documents to make up for inactive and outdated records in the field of high-rise buildings.

INTRODUCTION The Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines is a progressive sustainability program for state funded buildings which serves as a model for sustainability in Minnesota buildings. The program was created by the State of Minnesota in 2001 and developed by a team led by the Center for Sustainable Building Research (CSBR) at the University of Minnesota. Unlike other green building programs, it focuses on measured performance improvements, using a list of required metrics instead of a menu of potential options. The program is structured to provide a feedback loop to the building design, construction and operations industry in the state. Elements of the program are used through all phases of the development of state-funded buildings in Minnesota from pre-design through design, and construction and for ten years of operations. It is continually updated and improved in collaboration with state agencies and industry stakeholders and could serve as a model for localized green building programs.

Full textAbstract:
The process of combining various parts to create a structure is called building. The most effective and significant component of any construction is masonry. The Colosseum, buildings from ancient Greece and Rome, Central American buildings, and Mycenaean structures all used this material as one of their primary building elements. The oldest form is dry masonry of irregularly shaped stones. The ecological qualities of masonry, as a restorative material with a low impact on the environment, as well as the environmental control capacity of the massive wall, bring masonry back to attention as a suitable material for sustainable building in the context of current concerns for sustainable architecture. This article takes the form of a review of the journey of masonry as the primary construction material—from prehistoric structures to modern-day edifices. This article will go through the fundamentals of masonry construction to support its usage in structures throughout history and in many architectural styles, as a crucial representation of human construction in architectural history. This article aims to create a historical review, presenting masonry as an essential building material and assessing its role in the history of building materials.

The first place to keep the documents with national importance was the Archivum Regni founded in 1756 based on the Act XLV of 1723. By its reorganisation the National Archives was founded in 1874, which operated as the source reserve for the science of history. Since the very beginning the archivists claimed, that the institute should work in a separate building that represents the value of the science with its appearance. The study describes how the construction was completed from the idea until the completion of the Palace of the National Archives. The importance of the construction comes from the fact that it had been the first building in Hungary that was planned and built specifically for the needs of an archives. During the preparation period the leading employees of the archives visited several European archives, wrote detailed reports about the experienced technical and organisational solutions. Due to restrictions of length the study concentrates on the introduction of the experiences of the study tours abroad. During the planning the warehousing, researching, fire safety, operational, and aesthetic features were all considered. However, negotiating the finances forced the decision makers to leave out some of the aims, and make compromises. The construction started in 1913, and should have been finished by the middle of 1916, however due to WWI the building was completed in 1918, its internal decorations were only ready by 1929, and it was used for exclusively archival purposes only after 1945. The preparation, construction and the history of the building supplies us with useful experiences when planning state-of-the-art archival buildings.

Full textAbstract:
The building surveying profession in Malaysia has experienced significant ups and downs since its introduction. Building surveying is a professional field that focuses on the maintenance, conservation, and evaluation of buildings, and focuses more on building control and compliance with acts and regulations. Nonetheless, recognizing the function and significance of Building Surveyors among industry professionals and the public remains a concern that requires attention. This article examines the development and strengthening of this profession by reviewing its establishment's chronology and emphasizing its services. This critical study uses qualitative research to understand the history of building surveying in the Malaysian construction industry and its services. Two (2) research questions are the reasons (why) for the limited acceptance of Building Surveyor roles over an extended period, and the relationship (how) these roles relate to the current needs of the industry and the public are examined. This paper will provide useful knowledge to prospective building surveying students, graduates, the public, and industry practitioners about the facts and history behind the establishment and development of the building surveying field and profession in Malaysia. In line with the progress of the construction sector and the need for more sustainable buildings, the construction industry's strengthening of building surveying services and the construction fund should be given attention.

The widespread use of metal structures in construction became possible thanks to the work of architects and engineers of past centuries. The authors considered the main defining stages in the development of metal as a building material. A consistent historical review of the development of metal constructive forms in public buildings is presented. Numerous examples illustrate the path of development of metal structures - from post-and-beam systems to curvilinear spatial forms. The works of outstanding civil engineers and architects are considered: T. Pritchard, T. Payne, R. Burdon, T. Telford, V. Louis, A. Labrust, D. Paxton, C. Fox, G. Eiffel, I.V. Shwedler, D. Roebling and others. The development of architecture, building structures and construction technologies in decisive historical phases is analyzed. The method of architectural research was used, based on the analysis of objective features of buildings and structures, namely their functional purposes and design capabilities. The defining stages of the introduction and widespread use of metal structures in the practice of design and construction are investigated. The experience of designing and building unique structures with large-span coatings, rational design solutions is summarized, recommendations are given for the further promising development of metal structures.

The tablet-based software docu-tools digitize the documentation of buildings, simplifies construction and facility management and the data analysis in building and construction-history research. As a plan-based software, ‘pins’ can be set to record data (images, audio, text etc.), each data point containing a time and date stamp. Once a pin is set and information recorded, it can never be deleted from the system, creating clear contentious-free documentation. Reports to any/all data recorded can immediately be generated through various templates in order to share, document, analyze and archive the information gathered. The software both digitizes building condition assessment, as well as simplifies the fully documented management and solving of problems and monitoring of a building. Used both in the construction industry and for documenting and analyzing historic buildings, docu-tools is a versatile and flexible tool that has become integral to my work as a building historian working on the conservation and curating of the historic built environment in Europe. I used the software at Boughton House, Northamptonshire, UK, during a one-year research project into the construction history of the building. The details of how docu-tools was used during this project will be discussed in this paper.

Abstract The study aims to give a comprehensive explanation on how regional construction took place in the European history related to the state-building processes and how the historical heritage of the European state-construction influences today the social construction of the regions. With regard to the state-building processes, the study started from Hechter’s model of ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ state and his interpretation on the relationship between core regions and peripheries. This model operates with the centralizing power of the state, but from the last decades of the 20th century it was proved via the ‘new regionalism’ that social construction processes became more relevant in shaping new subnational regions. This last aspect is described by Paasi, and the study argues for a new concept of regional identity as a territorial ‘product’ of interacting governance and local society.

For the development of a comprehensive explanative model on the genesis and use of the history of a historic building, an exclusively visual and aesthetic approach is not sufficient. In addition to the function, the construction is also shown as a peer design factor in the planning, architectural and artistic development. In this context, the task of the technical universities and colleges is to provide students with a far-reaching expertise in historical building construction. To achieve this goal, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE), in the context of a research programme, has taken a targeted initiative. For this purpose, a large number of historical architectural drawings were combined in a plan collection at the Department and made available for further research. With regard to the structural importance of these drawings, a systematic scientific research has been carried out.This study was supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office - grant No. 112906.

The purpose of the study: To consider how monumental architecture, in particular memorial buildings, reflected the changes in society associated with the adoption of Islam in the Golden Horde and ties with other Muslim states. Research materials: Mausoleums which are the most numerous objects of monumental architecture explored throughout the territory of the Golden Horde. The paper considers both archaeological sites and various images of mausoleums: drawings of the 18th–19th centuries, and photographs of the late 19th – early 20th centuries. Results and scientific novelty: On the basis of building technology in the Golden Horde, two areas of architecture are distinguished – building from brick (fired and raw) and building from stone. An analysis of the planning, construction techniques, architectural details of the mausoleums, and construction equipment leads to the conclusion that several directions can be traced in the composition of the Golden Horde memorial architecture. The influence of the Central Asian school associated with the construction of fired and raw bricks was very significant. The architectural forms of brick mausoleums, distributed mainly in the steppe zone, find direct analogies among the monuments of Central Asia, primarily Khorezm. In the monuments made in the technique of stone construction, the influence of Asia Minor and Transcaucasia can be traced. It is expressed both in the architectonics of buildings and in the use of certain building techniques. The Golden Horde tower mausoleums, most likely, were exact copies of those in Asia Minor and Azerbaijan. Along with the forms of memorial buildings typical for the Muslim world, there were buildings of archaic appearance in the ulus of Jochi. Pyramidal mausoleums were built there, the shape of which the researchers deduce from the tomb structures in the form of barrows; these can be associated with the Turkic memorial buildings of the 9th–11th centuries.

Full textAbstract:
Buildings have an essential function; they are a place for people to carry out various activities, such as social, economic, and religious activities. In a building construction plan, considering multiple factors from strength to architecture is necessary. The issue of limited land in some areas has resulted in the construction of vertical buildings, often known as high-rise buildings. High-rise building construction requires paying attention to various levels of vulnerabilities, especially for projects in earthquake-prone areas. In this study, the levels of vulnerability and vertical irregularity of high-rise buildings were analyzed based on structural rigidity for reinforced concrete structures. Building models including a cube-shaped model, L-shaped model, and U-shaped model were investigated. The STERA 3D program was used to determine the strength values of the structures by providing earthquake loads on each structure model using the time-history analysis method. The El Centro and Kobe earthquakes were tested in these structural models because the earthquakes are known to contribute the most exceptional damage value in the history of earthquake-caused disasters. The assessed parameters of the tested structural models include structural stiffness, the most significant displacement in the structure, the maximum displacement and load relations experienced by the construction, and the hysteretic energy exhibited by the structure. Therefore, the best performed structural model in resisting the load could be obtained. The results showed that the U-shaped building model had the highest stiffness value with an increase in stiffness of 7.43% compared with the cube-shaped building model and 3.01% compared with the L-shaped building model.

Full textAbstract:
For several years, building codes have been perceived as one of the significant ways of establishing building quality, environmental protection, public health and safety, and energy efficiency in the building and construction industry. Conversely, some least developing countries like Somaliland are yet to adopt and enforce the current building codes and as such allowing the construction of buildings that do not meet the minimum international standards on public health and safety. Consequently, this paper seeks to review the overall and genuine picture about Somaliland 's building traditions, history, and advancement alongside the construction practices in Somaliland. In addition, unstructured interviews were held with some top governmental officials from the Ministry of Housing and Public Works, Ministry of Environment & Rural Development, the Somaliland Fire Agency, and Hargeisa Regional Court to carefully explore the status quo of building codes in Somaliland. This was achieved by generating qualitative data via the use of open-ended questions. The findings from the study revealed that there are currently no building codes or regulations in Somaliland. Meaning that the building industry is presently self-governed by the owners and the construction professionals. The study concludes that in spite of the absent of building codes and regulations, there have been a rapid development in the building and construction industry and the increase of mid-rise building of four to six story buildings in Somaliland. Â

As environmental problems become more and more prominent, green building, as a sustainable design concept, has become the dominant trend in the future development of the construction industry. In this paper, using China Knowledge Network (CNKI) as the literature database, by searching the literature related to green building design in China and using CiteSpace to visualize and analyze the literature, it is concluded that the development history of green building in China is divided into three phases: the beginning, the development, and the maturity. The starting stage is the stage where researchers study foreign materials and explore the direction of green building development in China after coming into contact with the emerging concept of green building; the development stage is the stage where researchers study the relevant technologies of green building after the theoretical accumulation of the previous stage and carry out a certain amount of practice in order to explore their rationality; the maturity stage is the stage where, on the basis of the theoretical and technological accumulation of the previous two stages, mature technologies are applied to China's domestic green buildings and the development of green building design. The mature stage is based on the accumulation of theories and technologies in the previous two stages, and the mature technologies are applied to the construction of green buildings within China. This paper analyzes the development history, summarizes the achievements made so far, and puts forward suggestions for the future development of green buildings in China.

Full textAbstract:
An important element in the construction of the nineteenth century cityscape was the "master builder," who in Halifax emerged in the late 1850s and early 1860s, and who significantly changed the role of builders from, primarily, artisans in particular trades to contractors with capacity to meet the needs of large scale construction. They were men who undertook building on a scale sufficient to employ a continuous workforce and who usually carried out all aspects of a contract. One such man was George Lang, a Scottish mason, who in the period 1858 to 1865 contracted for construction of a number of major buildings in growing Halifax. The study of one such "master builder" provides some insight into the study of the cityscape, though much work remains on the inter-relationship of builder, artisan, and architect, as well as the role of legislation, the nature and supply of material, the economics of the building process and the general relationship of buildings to the urban environment.

The article presents the challenges faced during the renovation works completed in 2024 on the building of the former Zamość Academy in Zamość. It focuses not only on the work conducted on this specific historic monument but also on the unexpected findings and discoveries made during the construction and renovation process. Among these discoveries were 18th-century illusionistic wall paintings in the chapel and the Jan Kanty Hall, floors from various periods, the foundations of older buildings on which the walls of the current academy were erected, as well as 18th-century recessed latrines preserved with wooden seating elements and risers. The article also discusses how, in the 19th century, attempts were made to deal with the effects of high wall moisture and the heating system used in the earliest periods of the building's history. Additionally, it explores the circumstances of the discoveries, their impact on the construction process, their significance for the history of the building, the city, and the region, and how the renovation work, which exceeded the scope of the original construction project, influenced the overall renovation process.

Full textAbstract:
Unlike the building forms, technology, and materials of today, the traditional Korean architecture represents an example of flexible building forms in history. Investigating and studying this type of architecture not only can contribute to the reform of architectural history by understanding how ordinary buildings change over time and how they interact with people but also may suggest the possibility of, and methodology for developing long-lasting and sustainable mass housing in Korea and in Asian cities. The first part of the paper demonstrates the structural, spatial, and functional flexibilities of traditional Korean architecture. The second part investigates the construction system, including the organization of builders and the regulations governing the relationship with the residents. Its systematic construction approach is associated with the specialization of construction and standardization and prefabrication of elements, facilitating the easy replacement and reuse of building materials. The paper is based on a research methodology of integrating historical archives and case studies. The main argument posited here is that knowledge and skill of traditional construction of flexibility suggest conceptual strategies to improve current housing design and construction in order to obtain a sustainable future.

Full textAbstract:
High-rise buildings represent modernity and economic power. Nevertheless, their abnormal scale and presence canalter and define the identity of the city. On the island of Cyprus, with its unique history and modern aspirations, lowrise buildings are considered the predominant type of construction due to the country's social and cultural nature.Therefore, the existence of those buildings puts the city at a disadvantage in having new high-rise buildings, which canchange the country's identity and culture. The construction of multiple high-rise buildings can be observed in differentparts of Nicosia. Through this study, we will focus on one particular building. We will analyse how that building affectsthe skyline of the city, its visual impact, and shadow casting. The results showed a clear impact on the city's image andvisibility across different locations in the city. Due to the location of the building, the shadow impact is limited to a fewareas near the building.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The article deals with one of the objects of cultural heritage, forming the architectural appearance of the Musin-Pushkin estate at the intersection of Dobroslobodskaya and Spartakovskaya Streets in Moscow (now the building complex of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering) — the main house of the ensemble. As an architectural monument of federal significance, the structure has undergone numerous transformations to date, affecting both the faсades and the interiors of the building. The monument has a rich construction history and includes buildings of different epochs and architectural styles. The main purpose of the research is to trace the history of the formation of the main building, to determine a period of its construction, to “distinguish” the original building volume in the structure and to reconstruct it.
 
 Materials and methods. The study of the monument is based on the method of complex source study, including search and analysis of sources and literature, field studies, accompanied by soundings, trenching and measuring works, as well as chemical and technological research of construction and finishing materials. Using a comparative method, the object was studied in a range of stylistically and typologically similar buildings.
 
 Results. The structural periodization of the monument has been revealed, its existing volumes have been dated, the original core of the building has been determined, and its stylistic elements have been studied; thus, a graphic reconstruction of the monument at the initial period of its construction history has been elaborated.
 
 Conclusions. The proposed reconstruction is the result of comprehensive research, which helped present the initial appearance of the building that became the basis for the present main house of the Musin-Pushkin estate, although this reconstruction is not intended to recreate it. It only marks the initial appearance of the monument and reveals one of the pages in the history of the estate complex so important for Moscow.

The aim of research is the analysis of constructional features of buildings in Samara in the late 19th century - in the early 20th century. Some of these buildings are still in operation being at the same time monuments of history and culture. Special and common features of construction solutions of foundations, walls, floor slabs and roof structures are marked. It is proved that economic considerations such as relative deficit and high cost of building materials - rolled steel, brick, broken stones - have a great influence on buildings structures. The examples of construction solutions of some buildings - monuments of history and culture are viewed.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout human settlement history, the pursuit of durability has been a paramount objective in building construction. The emphasis on durability has resulted in the construction of buildings designed to outlast human lifespans. However, the lack of consideration for building demolition and disposal during the design and construction phases has created challenges for future generations. This oversight contributes to the environmental impact of structures after demolition, which is a significant concern given that the construction industry is a major contributor to energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and solid waste production. In fact, in recent decades, there has been an increasing demand for temporary constructions, driven by factors such as migration phenomena, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic, but also in sectors like agriculture, where seasonality and annual variations in activities require adaptable structures such as warehouses, barns, livestock shelters, and food storage facilities. Unlike traditional constructions, these temporary buildings must be assembled and disassembled multiple times during their lifespan. The challenge lies in ensuring the structural integrity, adaptability to varying conditions, and compliance with specific requirements to extend their usability and postpone the disposal phase. This study focuses on the design of a novel type of temporary structures intended for temporary needs such as emergencies and planned agricultural activities, resulting in a European patent. The structure is based on a glulam frame inside two OSB panels—that work as structural bracing, creating a hollow, resistant, light structure—connected with external steel connections. This work reports results of mechanical simulations and thermal transmittance calculations. Specifically, it demonstrates the building maintains structural strength through multiple usages and its thermal characteristics can be easily adapted to the context. These are the first steps for a resilient and sustainable building.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an overview of the different earth building techniques, the latest innovations and the normative aspects. The oldest man made earth constructions known to exist date back to 10 000 BC. Since then, earth has remained a popular building material throughout history. With time, different techniques evolved, starting from sundried adobe blocks to cob constructions, rammed earth walls and compressed earth bricks. Today these techniques are still being optimized and alternative binders, specifically adapted admixtures and surface treatments are being developed. Even though nearly one third of the world’s population lives in an earth construction, few specific building standards and testing methods exist. Many of the tests used today are based on tests for concrete and thus do not take into account the complex nature of earth constructions, such as their sensitivity to water. RILEM, the union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures, set up a new Technical Committee in 2016: TC TCE (Testing and Characterisation of Earth-based building materials and elements). This committee, consisting of an international group of experts on the topic, aim to define testing procedures for earth as a building construction material. To end with, this paper also gives a short introduction to “Deep soil mixing”, an “earth” building technique dedicated to geotechnical engineering.

Full textAbstract:
During the 19th century, the most renowned architects considered a permanent presence on the site of their larger construction projects necessary. Some of them even maintained several on-site offices close to their construction sites, where architects and designers were contracted for the duration of the construction. This study presents two on-site offices in detail (office of the Palace of Justice and the Parliament Building) while outlining a further four examples in Budapest (office of the Parish Church of Lipótváros, the Ministry of Agriculture, the enlargement of the Royal Palace and the Technical University).There were three practices used to settle these offices: I. using an older building, before its demolition, near the site; II. in a temporary building set up for this purpose; III. in rented rooms in the surrounding buildings. Examples for the use of existing buildings are the building of the Palace of Justice (A. Hauszmann), the extension of the Royal Palace (A. Hauszmann) and the building of the campus of the Royal Joseph University (A. Hauszmann, Gy. Czigler, S. Pecz). St. Stephen's Basilica (M. Ybl), the Parliament (I. Steindl) and the Krisztinaváros wing of the Royal Palace (M. Ybl, A. Hauszmann) are examples where newly constructed buildings were used, and we assume rented apartments as on-site offices in the case of the Opera House (M. Ybl) and the Museum of Applied Arts (Ödön Lechner). The large public building's on-site offices have great significance in architectural history as well as being theoretical and practical workshops.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This contribution aims to understand the history and function of a rectangular structure, probably domestic in nature and located in the early Philistine sector of Area A at Tell es-Safi/Gath. Tell es-Safi/Gath is one of the five cities of the Philistine pentapolis, located in modern Israel, mentioned in the Old Testament, and popularly associated with the legendary giant Goliath. The understanding of this building is achieved through presenting a building biography. This will include a discussion of the building’s complicated construction history, construction styles, associated features, and later disturbances. Although there is a substantial amount of research on object biography, most of that work deals with the reuse and modification or design of contemporary buildings, or megalithic monuments of the European prehistoric eras. A building biography situates the Area A structure within its role in preserving early Philistine identity, history, memory, and imbuing the landscape with symbolic meanings.

Full textAbstract:
The construction of earth buildings, both throughout history and in the current day, is well-established worldwide. Despite New Zealand’s pre- and post-colonial history of earth construction, earth buildings as residential homes have not been well-received or popularised throughout present-day New Zealand. This research aims to identify the reasons for this lack of awareness and to determine methods that promote earth buildings in New Zealand. This research is based on data collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with subject matter experts and via an online questionnaire completed by members of the Earth Building Association New Zealand (EBANZ). The data collected revealed the experiences and perceptions of all participants regarding the advantages, challenges and promotion of earth buildings specific to New Zealand. Following analysis of these responses, key reoccurring themes were identified and compared. Regarding New Zealand’s lack of awareness of earth buildings, interview and questionnaire participants responded that this shortcoming was due to earth construction being a very niche market and lacking commercial marketing. Education was the most frequently reoccurring theme raised by all participants as the top promotional tool for raising awareness of earth buildings. The results of this research can be applied to future work regarding obstacles that limit the growth of New Zealand’s earth building industry, as well as research on the role of New Zealand’s education system in exposing the next generation of builders, designers, and consumers to earth construction.

Full textAbstract:
Completed in 1851 to house the Exhibition of All Nations in London, the Crystal Palace was the first large public building that departed completely from traditional construction materials and methods. It was the first major building to be conceived by its design engineers, William Barlow and Charles Fox, as a rigid-jointed iron frame and one of the earliest to use horizontal and vertical cross-bracing to carry wind loads. Working closely with the contractor John Henderson, the designers also applied their knowledge of modern production engineering methods to ensure the building was constructed in the incredibly short time of 190 days. Within twenty years the iron frame, supporting thin walls of masonry, would become established as a viable alternative to load-bearing masonry walls for large buildings.

Full textAbstract:
The church of Szigetmonostor, together with the parish building in front, and the late chanter house next to it, is the characteristic complex of its environment. Its plan with the middle tower façade solution is a classic example of Baroque church architecture of the eighteenth century. The most valuable part of the building is the late Baroque pulpit renovated while keeping its original appearance.Szigetmonostor – earlier Monostor – a municipality in Pest County on the Szentendre Island came into the possession of the Zichy family after the Turkish rule. In the 1730s, Ferenc Zichy put the tenure in pawn to Gábor Horányi, a servant judge in Pest County, who started greater developments here by building a castle (today the parish) and a church in the 1740s. The tower was built in front of the main façade a few years after the completion of the nave. The Vienna Court Chamber acquired the manor from the Zichy family in 1766 after a long lawsuit, also redeeming Monostor from the Horányi family. In 1774, the master masons Mihály János Hamon and Jakab Gföller were commissioned to survey the buildings of the manor, which came into the possession of the Crown from the Zichys. Their survey plans illustrate the church with the small teaching house and church garden next to it. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the church underwent several renewals and renovations and minor alterations that could be tracked with the help of records and Canonica Visitatios.

The environmental impacts, including those related to greenhouse gas emissions, of the construction and deconstruction of buildings come more and more into focus of governments and professional building owners. In new constructions these so-called embodied impacts are often more important than the environmental impacts during 50 years use phase. How did the environmental impacts caused by construction materials and building technologies and their supply chains change during the past three decades? What might be expected in the future? How did LCA contribute to the past development and how did LCA practice evolve during this period? Finally, are current LCA practices suited to support the transformation of the building stock towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions?In a first part, the past as well as the potential future development of the environmental impacts caused by the manufacture of selected key construction materials and their supply chains will be presented. The main measures which lead to lower impacts in the past and which will be needed to further reduce environmental impacts in the future will be named. Current trends will be assessed against their effectiveness to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions of buildings and the built environment.In a second part the history and evolution of LCI data collection and data management will be discussed. Several aspects will be covered such as information sources, modelling and methodology, environmental impacts (pollutants and resources) covered in the LCIs, IT resources and solutions, and information policies.
