Abstract:
Abstract There are problems with historical buildings when changing the thermal insulation properties of buildings. The Energy Efficiency Act exempted historic buildings from certification. Not all old, historic buildings have monument protection. It is necessary to take into account the above mentioned facts in case of renovation and reconstruction of an old building. Otherwise, a normal building is approached and a building of historical value is treated differently. Methods hidden insulation, which preserves the authenticity of cultural monuments and real estate in the heritage areas, is a current challenge of heritage practice. The sustainability of the operation of historic buildings ultimately means the preservation and appropriate use of the heritage fund. Fortunately, the list of such interventions that do not jeopardize the monumental values or the use of the building is gradually increasing. This is mainly due to modern, increasingly sophisticated materials and technologies. In this paper we offer a basic overview of the most frequently used and practice-tested interventions in historical buildings, but we focus on details.

Abstract:
This article examines value-based selection criteria applied in classification of historic monuments and sites in American legislation. Furthermore, the author of this article arrives at conclusions which could be applied in the Polish provisions of law. In the USA, there are two registers of historic monuments and sites, i.e. National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmark Register which consists of buildings, districts, objects, sites, or structures that are officially recognized by the United States government for their outstanding historical significance. In both cases, the requirements which the properties, objects, and sites to be entered into the register must meet are defined very precisely. Moreover, detailed monument valuation criteria, different for each category, can support the decision on listing a monument or site. The author of this article analyses these criteria and concludes that they could provide a basis for developing interpretation guidelines for applying provisions of the Polish Act on Protection and Guardianship of Monuments and Sites. These instructions would help historic preservation officers assess values of properties and sites. Their decisions would be therefore less intuitive and subjective but based on specific criteria. This would result in value assessments being standardised in the entire country.

Abstract:
Historic apartment buildings in Saint-Petersburg no longer meet today’s energy efficiency standards and need upgrading to achieve lower energy-consumption. The possibilities to upgrade old buildings – historic and cultural monuments – are initially limited. A controlled heat recovery ventilation system is considered to be an integral part of energy efficient building. Provided engineering facilities of a building are updated and reequipped energy performance increases without any impact on building exteriors. Different types of decentralized intake and exhaust ventilation systems with heat recovery based on various types of heat exchangers are considered in a detailed way.

Abstract:
This article discusses that the French have traditionally maintained the appearance of their historic buildings by using the same materials and techniques used by the artisans who originally constructed them. While this strategy guaranteed the architectural integrity of the structures, it also limited the use of the buildings after their restoration, because historic materials are often unable to withstand the stresses of 20th century use and cannot meet modern building codes. Monuments Historiques reasoned that using modern materials would speed up restoration, adapt a building to modern uses, and still preserve its historic appearance. They demonstrated the feasibility of this marriage of 20th-century materials and 17th-century building styles with the restoration of the Brittany Parliament in Rennes after it had been gutted by fire. Investigators assessing the damage said that 50 percent of the soft stone would have to be replaced, as well as 70 percent of the stone in the building’s southeast pavilion.

Abstract:
Abstract This article reviews the carbonation process through biomineralization referred to as Microbial Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICCP) for the conservation of carbonate stone monuments and historic building materials. This biological process widely occurs in nature as microbes produce inorganic materials within their basic metabolic activities. The first patent, which explained this method dates from approximately twenty-five years ago. Since then, different research groups have investigated substitute methodologies and various technical applications to provide a protective calcium carbonate layer on the surface of deteriorated historic buildings and stone monuments as well as to consolidate their inner weakened structure through this biodeposition process. The article reviews selected literature, highlights open queries and promotes discussion of a selection of issues, production mechanisms, application techniques, performance and bonding with stone structure. While many questions regarding this significant method have been focused in published sources, there are considerable possibilities for new research.

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to present some experiences of using modern technologies to historical buildings digitalization. The emphasis is placed on the possibilities of spatial data collecting, as well as on subsequent 3D modelling. The paper describes the proposed survey techniques which are based on the Terrestrial Laser Scanning and photogrammetry. The authors obtained the point cloud by using the laser scanner Faro Focus 3D and dedicated software to combine scans (target based and cloud to cloud methods). The paper also provides an introduction to issues related to a method of building structure modelling based on a pointcloud. The authors proposed some computer software tools that could improve work with a point cloud and the modelling process. The resulting 3D model could be both a source of information about historical building and a sufficient base to create computational model with spatial finite elements. The subject of the case study is the St. Hubert Chapel located in Rzeszów (Poland) and built in the middle of the 18th century under the patronage of the Lubomirski family. This rococo chapel is one of the most valuable architectural monuments in the region. Historical Building Information Model (HBIM) could be helpful in analysis, visualisations and conservation practice of this precious monument. Diagnosing the current object state and assessing its technical condition could be the purpose of creating a computational FEM model.

Abstract:
The Monuments at Risk Survey 1995 (MARS) outlined rates and causes of identified monument loss in England, showing that 16% of recorded monuments had been completely destroyed by 1995, and that 95% of surviving monuments in England had suffered partial destruction. Hitherto, no equivalent research has been undertaken in Scotland. Using a 17% random stratified sample of 779 field monuments surviving in 1850 within a study area encompassing much of the local authority areas of Perth and Kinross, Fife and Angus, the present research has analysed the distribution and quantified loss of archaeological monuments since 1850 in relation to a number of variables including land use, Land Capability for Agriculture, elevation, local authority area, monument period and material construction. Results show that monument distribution within the study area varies most noticeably according to land use and elevation. The highest densities of extant monuments are found in semi-natural woodland (17.2 extant sample monuments per 100km2) and non-intensive land uses such as unimproved grazing and moorland (13.8 extant sample monuments per 100km2). The lowest density of extant monuments is found in arable and improved pasture (4.5 extant sample monuments per 100km2), although this is offset by a recorded density of 11.5 cropmark sample monuments per 100km2. By elevation, monument densities are highest below 100m OD (24.4 monuments per 100km2) and between 250m OD and 400m OD (21 monuments per 100 km2)with a pronounced paucity of recorded monuments between 100m OD and 200m OD, particularly on improved and arable land. For each sample monument, a condition history has been constructed through a desk-based study using data from the National Monuments Record of Scotland. This desk-based study has recorded the greatest causes of monument loss since 1850 as unknown causes (28% of loss), archaeological excavation (24% of loss), farming (15% of loss) and development (11% of loss). The monument condition histories created through the desk-based study have then been augmented and calibrated for a subsample of 258 monuments by means of an accuracy assessment, using information from vertical and oblique aerial photographs, survey reports from Historic Scotland Monument Wardens and a programme of field survey. Using these additional data sources, the accuracy assessment has identified the largest causes of monument loss within the study area since 1850 as forestry (31% of loss), farming (28% of loss) and development (12% of loss). Analysis shows that among monuments extant in 1850, a minimum of 38% have been reduced in extent, with at least 5% destroyed. Loss has been greatest among monuments found in arable and improved land (39% reduced, 27% destroyed), forestry (79% reduced, 9% destroyed) and developed land (63% reduced, 27% destroyed), and lowest among monuments found in permanent pasture (91% undamaged), semi-natural woodland (75% undamaged) and rough grazing and moorland (85% undamaged). Although the use of a desk-based study and accuracy assessment has proved successful in identifying trends in the loss of visible monuments, it has been necessary to employ alternative methods by which to assess damage at buried monuments represented by cropmarks. To this end, a programme of excavation, topographic survey and soil depth recording has been undertaken at five locations in Perth and Kinross. Analysis of the results from this programme of excavation and survey has identified statistically significant relationships between land surface curvature and topsoil depth at three of the five sites examined, enabling the mapping at site scale of areas which are likely to have been subject to greatest agricultural damage. Extrapolating from these site-specific maps, it has been possible to map probable damage and risk to cropmark monuments at a regional scale. Although the validity of this regional scale mapping has been limited by the 25m cell size of the digital terrain model on which it has been based, the potential of such a technique in enabling a rapid preliminary assessment of damage and risk to cropmark monuments has been demonstrated.

Abstract:
Shelters, as preventive conservation methods, have traditionally been considered a better option than leaving the site exposed. However, there has been limited research on their effect on the preservation of heritage materials and, as a result, there is no clear scientific evidence to support sheltering. This study aims to provide the first rigorous scientific assessment of the effect of lightweight, open shelters on limestone deterioration at archaeological sites. A method based on the use of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment and limestone blocks and tablets (as indicators of decay) has been developed to determine the degree of protection provided by the shelters at the Bishop' Palace (Witney, England) and Hagar Qim (Malta). Preliminary visual assessments of the field sites were followed by 12-18 month exposure trials. Temperature extremes and fluctuations, frost events, relative humidity extremes and fluctuations, NaCl crystallisation events, solar radiation, wetting events, salt content, atmospheric pollutants and dust deposition were monitored. In addition, stone decay was studied by analysing changes in weight, elasticity, surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface colour, moisture content and general appearance (microscopic and macroscopic pictures) in stone samples. An exhaustive assessment of the shelter at the Bishop's Palace was carried out using Chalk, Cotswold and Portland limestone blocks as well as Portland limestone tablets (specifically for studying dissolution, soiling and biological growth). Additionally, a comparative assessment of the effects of the two shelters in contrasting climatic environments, the Bishop's Palace (temperate maritime) and Hagar Qim (Mediterranean), was undertaken by monitoring Globigerina and Coralline limestone blocks simultaneously at both sites. The research has shown that lightweight, open shelters do not exclude decay completely but minimise it. However, there are some areas at higher risk of decay, i.e. top parts of the walls and the periphery. In addition, problems with the shelter design can enhance some decay mechanisms, such as biocolonisation on the periphery at the Bishop's Palace and dust deposition under the shelter at Hagar Qim. Therefore, the effectiveness of shelters should not be assumed.

Dans une démarche scientifique liant la tradition et l'innovation, cette recherche s'inscrit dans la continuité historique, tout d'abord celle de l'histoire culturelle, du patrimoine, initiée par les premiers travaux portant sur les politiques patrimoniales et les administrations responsables: le Conseil supérieur des Beaux-arts et la thèse de Marie-Claude Genet-Delacroix, l'institution des musées et la patrimonialisation étudiées par Dominique Poulot, puis dans la continuité de l'histoire générale de la restauration, avec les travaux de Jean-Michel Léniaud portant sur le service des Edifices diocésains et des cathédrales, et l'ouvrage de Françoise Bercé traitant des Monuments historiques; et l'innovation en abordant dans ces travaux la question de la restauration à l'œuvre dans une étude comparée des trois chantiers des cathédrales gothiques Notre-Dame de Reims, Notre-Dame de Laon et Notre-Dame de Paris de 1789 à 1914. Au carrefour entre de l'histoire religieuse, de l'histoire de l'art et de l'histoire politique, cette thèse porte sur la restauration monumentale en tant que concept politique, administratif, technique et esthétique, appliqué à tous les monuments anciens, dont les cathédrales gothiques : mais du concept à sa réalisation concrète s'interposent nombre d'actions, de professionnels (maîtres d'œuvres et maîtres d'ouvrages) et interviennent nombre d'obstacles et de facteurs qui en diversifient l'application et la mise en œuvre. Cette étude est une analyse comparée des conditions, des programmes, des modalités et des techniques déployés au XIXe siècle dans les chantiers de ces trois cathédrales
The scientific approach conducting the present piece of research combines both tradition and innovation; historical continuity on one hand – first of heritage and cultural history – initiated by the first studies on heritage policies and responsible administrations: the “Conseil supérieur des Beaux-arts” and Marie-Claude Genet-Delacroix's thesis, the early museums and the associated heritage effect studied by Dominique Poulot, then continuity of a general history of restoration and the Jean-Michel Léniaud's papers on the “service des Edifices diocésains” and cathedrals, and Françoise Bercé's book on the “Monuments historiques”; innovation on the other hand by focusing here on the question of restoration at work in a comparative study of three gothic cathedrals work sites – Our Lady of Rheims, Our Lady of Laon and Our Lady of Paris – from 1789 to 1914. Intersecting religious history, art history and political history, this research deals with monumental restoration as a political, administrative, technical and aesthetical concept and its application to every ancient monument including gothic cathedrals: but from a concept to its tangible realisation lie numerous actions and professionals (contractors and owners) as well as numerous hindrances and factors that diversify its application and implementation. This study is a comparative analysis of the conditions, programs, modes and technics employed during the 19th century on the three restoration sites

Full text
Abstract:
Le Concordat, qui permet le retour à la paix civile et le rétablissement du culte, est accueilli avec soulagement dans un diocèse de Nantes durement éprouvé par la décennie révolutionnaire. Il instaure un régime neuf dans lequel la religion catholique, de même que les autres cultes reconnus, est protégée et financée par l'État mais également placée sous la surveillance du pouvoir civil. Les édifices et les objets religieux nationalisés en 1789 sont mis à la disposition du clergé et des fidèles mais demeurent des propriétés publiques. L'affectation exclusive à l'exercice du culte place néanmoins l'Église dans un rôle qui lui permet de faire prévaloir les besoins religieux sur le droit de propriété ou sur les considérations archéologiques qui apparaissent au cours du XIXe siècle. Le système concordataire crée les conditions d'une transformation spectaculaire des édifices religieux, agrandis, modifiés ou remplacés pour répondre aux besoins du culte, laissant peu de place à la conservation des monuments anciens et prenant dans le diocèse de Nantes le caractère d'unevéritable table rase. L'Église semble pourtant adhérer au mouvement général de reconnaissance des monuments religieux, apportant son concours aux politiques publiques et contribuant aux initiatives du milieu érudit. Cette participation reste cependant superficielle et révèle des motivations inconciliables avec les préoccupations archéologiques. L'engouement pour un passé monumental largement idéalisé provoque, au lieu de la conservation de ses vestiges matériels, la naissance d'une architecture et d'un art religieux nouveaux, inspirés des formes médiévales mais répondant aux besoins contemporains du culte et à des constructions symboliques propres à l'Église du XIXe siècle

Abstract:
El tema d’estudi de la investigació s’emmarca en el camp de la didàctica de les ciències socials i el patrimoni. L’objecte d’estudi és la didàctica del patrimoni arquitectònic i, tanmateix, el comportament i desenvolupament de la professionalitat dels docents. El cos central de la tesi te dos eixos vertebradors: 1. La conceptualització i construcció de nous coneixements que puguin millorar la didàctica del patrimoni arquitectònic com a font històrica. 2. La descripció i anàlisi de les competències del professorat: els seus coneixements, les seves opinions i idees, i també les seves pràctiques professionals. És una investigació descriptiva i empírica que fa servir instruments de tipus qualitatiu (grup de discussió) com de tipus quantitatiu (qüestionari). El patrimoni arquitectònic és un testimoni viu del passat humà. Quan el professor el fa servir com a font històrica, hauria de tenir en compte una sèrie de factors que són inherents a l’objecte arquitectònic, entenent aquest com una realitat viva i un document de la història. La font arquitectònica és diferent al document escrit i per tant cal fer un ús adequat a la seva naturalesa. La complexitat de l’obra arquitectònica, la dificultat per a interpretar-la i els problemes didàctics que se’n deriven segons els diferents criteris emprats en la restauració, són elements a tenir em compte quan es fa ús del patrimoni arquitectònic com a font de coneixement històric i social. La investigació es formula tres preguntes sobre les competències dels docents: 1. Quin tipus de coneixements tenen els professors sobre el patrimoni arquitectònic 2. Quin és el pensament i concepcions dels professors 3. Quina és la pràctica docent dels professors La tesi està estructurada en tres apartats: 1. Primera part. Marc teòric-conceptual: en primer lloc es formula l’objecte d’estudi, les preguntes, objectius i hipòtesi. Es fa una revissió de l’estat de la qüestió sobre la didàctica del patrimoni arquitectònic. Es revisen els estudis i investigacions que precedeixen la investigació. Es plantegen les bases conceptuals i disciplinars de la didàctica del patrimoni arquitectònic com a font històrica. Les disciplines de referència són l’arquitectura, la història i la didàctica. 2. Segona part. Marc empíric: per poder conèixer la realitat dels docents en matèria de competències patrimonials s’ha definit com a població d’estudi, els professors de Secundària dels centres públics de Catalunya que tenen l’especialitat de Ciències Socials. Els instruments d’observació indirecta que s’han dissenyat són el grup de discussió i el qüestionari. La mostra participant ha sigut d’un 10% dels professorat d’aquests centres. Una vegada recollits, mesurats i processats els resultats, la investigació descriu i analitza les respostes dels professors. 3. Tercera part. Conclusions: Es presenten els resultats obtinguts. Fan referència als tres àmbits que defineixen les competències docents: sobre els coneixements, les idees i concepcions, i les pràctiques docents. La investigació adjunta, com a apèndix, uns suggeriments sobre el tractament didàctic del patrimoni arquitectònic com a font històrica. Proposa en primer lloc la manera de fer la crítica de la font i en segon lloc, unes orientacions per realitzar visites i itineraris patrimonials. Al final de la investigació es presenten uns annexos. Cal destacar l’annex fotogràfic que aporta contingut visual al discurs en presentar imatges d’abans i desprès de les actuacions de restauració efectuades.
The subject of academic study of this investigation resides in the area of the didactics in social sciences and heritage. The study topic is the didactics of architectural heritage, including the behaviour and development of teachers’ expertise. The main body of the thesis is comprised of two supporting axis: 1. The conceptualisation and construction of new knowledge that helps the improvement of the didactics of architectural heritage as a historical source. 2. The description and analysis of teachers’ competences: their knowledge, opinions and ideas, and their professional teaching practices. This is a descriptive and empirical research that uses both qualitative tools (group discussion) and quantitative tools (questionnaire.) The investigation formulates three questions about teachers’ competences: 1. What is the type of knowledge that teachers have got on architectural heritage? 2. What is the knowledge and conception of teachers? 3. What is the teaching practice of teachers? The thesis is structured on three parts: 1. Theoretical-conceptual framework. The study topic, questions and hypothesis are formulated. A revision of the state of the question on the didactics of architectural heritage is implemented. 2. Empirical framework. The teachers of Secondary Education in Catalonia form the study population of the thesis. The indirect observation tools designed for the investigation are the group discussion and the questionnaire. The range of participation was a 10% of the teachers in these education centres. Once the results have been obtained, measured and processed, the investigation describes and analyses teachers’ answers. 3. Conclusions: the results obtained in the investigation are presented. They cover the three areas that describe teaching competences: knowledge, ideas and conceptions, and teaching practices. The research attaches, as an appendix, suggestions for didactic treatment of heritage as a historical source. At the end of the investigation the annexes are shown. It is important to emphasise the photographic annex that provides the discourse with visual content as it presents images before and after the restoration.

Abstract:
<p>Masonry structures are probably the most popular and ancient type of buildings all over the world. Easy access of its constitutive materials, which are basically stones, bricks, and mortar (which varies from region to region), makes masonry one of the everlasting construction methods from small residential buildings to the most important ancient and historic monuments. <p>Some masonry buildings have proved to be resistant structures even in seismic prone areas, due to some specific structural characteristics that have been observed throughout the years and after many destructive earthquakes. In this chapter, an effort will be made to refer to and describe the most characteristic deficiencies in unreinforced and reinforced masonry buildings under seis-mic actions. Design recommendations for new earthquake-resistant structures will follow, and some retrofitting and strengthening strategies for existing masonry buildings will be proposed.

Abstract:
Current mechanical and chemical techniques for the conservation and cleaning of stone, although successful in many applications, are not always kind to underlying surfaces. This is a major consideration when cleaning delicate artwork. These techniques are often abrasive, caustic, onerous, and time-consuming. Many surfaces can be cleaned by laser treatment. Previous laser cleaning techniques involved Q-switched pulsed lasers. The use of cw lasers has been neglected for this application. Pulsed lasers divest encrustations by vaporization. The underlying surfaces can be damaged if also subjected to these high-power densities. This is almost inevitable unless peak output powers from Q-switched lasers are accurately controlled. In this paper, a novel two-stage technique using a cw mode-locked Nd:YAG laser (1.06 μm) is presented for removing gypsum encrustations. In the first stage, gypsum is dehydrated by cw laser irradiation. This anhydrite gypsum is then easily removed by brushing. The growth of the anhydrite area is theoretically and quantitatively investigated as a function of laser intensities and exposure times. Optimum laser scanning speed and the maximum volume of encrustation removal per day are determined from these data. A comparison is made with pulsed laser cleaning systems.

Abstract:
This project refers to the construction of a 3D map of Thessaloniki’s historical route. The Yedi Kule Conquest – Monument Road Race took place in the old city of Thessaloniki, which was built during the Byzantine and Ottoman period. The purpose of this project is the digital recording of the castles, the monuments, the old churches, the traditional buildings, and the squares which are prime examples of the architectural beauty of the place. The methodology of the project is based on the online software Google Earth Studio and Adobe Premiere Pro. These are the tools of digitization, rendering, and building process of the animation. With this methodology, the authors achieved the documentation of land use and the architectural landscape. The animation is a credible graphic index of the historical background of Thessaloniki. The Yedi Kule area constitutes of a cultural mosaic made from different historic periods. The buildings and the neighbourhoods give the sense of transition of the narrow roads, the old Christian churches, the house of the first Turkish governor, and the byzantine castle to the modern city. In Thessaloniki, three historic periods coexist the Ancient Greek/Roman, the Byzantine, and Ottoman Empire. The responsibility of the governmental politics and of every citizen of Thessaloniki is to promote and preserve the historic background of the city. The final product offers a good opportunity for the digital storage of Thessaloniki’s old city. The animation creates an interactive environment that portrays the current image of the transition from the old to a modern city.

Great fires and wars caused numerous destruction of these important historic monuments. Since the XIX century we have plenty roof reconstruction completed as an iron, a steel, or a reinforced concrete structures. Modern concept of historic conservation requires an authenticity of the heritage. New roof structures to some extend creates.</p>

Abstract:
Public spaces and monuments act as the material representatives of historic memory of traditional cities. There is an international consensus to value, catalog and preservation of these spaces and buildings, both for their heritage, as well as their cultural and historic value. In contrast, certain American urban agglomerations, like Detroit, which has a clear industrial origin, the historic memory of the city is materialized not in its public spaces, which it lacks, but in its productive spaces. Instead of a relatively more normative risk of terrorist attacks to public spaces, these productive spaces risk abandonment, and progressive deterioration. They suffer this fate due to the lack of awareness, both by citizens and institutions, to their importance as carriers of the foundational DNA of these societies. This is leading to their disappearance in the not too distant future.

Full text
Abstract:
Contemporary perception of time differs significantly from historical one. The contemporary time is speeding, divergent, meticulously quantified with abstract units, disconnected from perception of space. Differences between day and night, physical and digital, far and near are constantly, gradually vanishing. With this new time perception, contemporary urban space has evolved. Cities extend, their centres melt; deallocation, speed and light images explode interior-exterior oppositions. The space aspires to the speed of light. Shizophrenic, kinetic reality, where signifiant leaves signifié is characterized by discrepancies: economic barriers, fences, and incessant opening into virtual reality. Time is a factor joining events in narration and in architecture. Chronology of events is shattered in contemporary literature, introducing strategies of retrospection, anticipation and anachrony. The situation in contemporary architecture is similar. These strategies appear also in contemporary cities: retrospection in historic monuments, anticipation in avant-garde, “science-fiction” buildings and anachrony in non-places on the verge of physical and virtual reality. Lines of events in a plot of a city’s narration has changed. Certain duality of a contemporary city space appears: perception of sheer time in ruins, monuments, and a temporal flow of events-spaces. Along with the speeding urban organism, an idea of slow city spaces has appeared. The idea of a city “tasted” with senses, replacing the terms of acceleration, progress and change with: slowness, reflection, variety, essence; effects of reflective attitude towards reality, traces of resistance against the inevitable loss of beauty in contemporaneity. A phenomenological approach as a response for the speeding city reality. Thisarticle analyses affiliations between the contemporary perception of time, narrative strategies and city space.

Abstract:
Tuff, a sedimentary rock made of volcanic ash, is a traditional building material in the Campania region. Since its foundation Naples’ architecture, whether monumental or vernacular, has been erected in tuff masonry and only the arrival of concrete and steel has meant its downfall. Due to the soft nature of tuff, traditionally the building material was designed to be covered by plaster and very few and monumental architectures, by selecting and sculpting to the purpose the rock, were designed to be fair-faced. In years the exposition to natural and artificial degradation agents has brought a wide variety of deterioration phenomena both on the fair-faced tuff masonry and the ones that had lost plaster. In approaching the restoration of these architectures, the conservator is faced with a challenging task. This is due to the difficulty of balancing the pursue of minimum intervention and authenticity respect, the conservation of the historic consolidated image of the architecture and the necessity of using the best restoration techniques that guarantee the highest conservation of the material in future years, with particular regard to bio-compatible and sustainable materials both for operators and the environment. By analyzing the restoration of various architectures, both archaeological and modern, the paper will address this difficult task and the different decisions made by the conservators in relation to the monuments’ nature, identity, history and status of conservation. The paper is based on a multidisciplinary approach due to the contribution of the expertise of an architect, a restorer and an archaeologist.

Abstract:
The article discusses the methodology for determining the time of erection of architectural monuments, which is based on the proportions of the volumetric-spatial structure of buildings. In all historical periods, the architecture of buildings was created based on mathematically precise calculations, known as architectural proportions, which acquired metaphysical properties under the influence of ancient philosophy and continued to be used until the late Middle Ages. Depending on the archetype of buildings, the relationship between structural and architectural parts came from a certain part of the building, the so-called module, which changes over time and geographical areas. There are two main types of architectural proportions: constructive and artistic, the first being the most conservative, and the second varying, determining stylistic temporal preferences. In the process of studying the architectural heritage of medieval Moldavia, both types of proportions were identified, amenable to numerical and metrological measurements. In the examples given, the proportions were used to determine the architectural form and antiquity of the buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
Yucca House National Monument (YUHO) in southwestern Colorado protects unexcavated archeological structures that were constructed by the Ancestral Puebloan people between 1050 and 1300 CE. It was established by Woodrow Wilson by presidential proclamation in 1919 and named “Yucca House” by archeologist Jesse Fewkes as a reference to the names used for this area by the local Ute, Tewa Pueblo, and other Native groups. It was originally only 3.9 ha (9.6 ac) of land, but in 1990, an additional 9.7 ha (24 ac) of land was donated by Hallie Ismay, allowing for the protection of additional archeological resources. Another acquisition of new land is currently underway, which will allow for the protection of even more archeological sites. The archeological resources at YUHO remain unexcavated to preserve the integrity of the structures and provide opportunities for future generations of scientists. One of the factors that contributed to the Ancestral Puebloans settling in the area was the presence of natural springs. These springs likely provided enough water to sustain the population, and the Ancestral Puebloans built structures around one of the larger springs, Aztec Spring. Yet, geologic features and processes were shaping the area of southwest Colorado long before the Ancestral Puebloans constructed their dwellings. The geologic history of YUHO spans millions of years. The oldest geologic unit exposed in the monument is the Late Cretaceous Juana Lopez Member of the Mancos Shale. During the deposition of the Mancos Shale, southwestern Colorado was at the bottom of an inland seaway. Beginning about 100 million years ago, sea level rose and flooded the interior of North America, creating the Western Interior Seaway, which hosted a thriving marine ecosystem. The fossiliferous Juana Lopez Member preserves this marine environment, including the organisms that inhabited it. The Juana Lopez Member has yielded a variety of marine fossils, including clams, oysters, ammonites, and vertebrates from within YUHO and the surrounding area. There are four species of fossil bivalves (the group including clams and oysters) found within YUHO: Cameleolopha lugubris, Inoceramus dimidius, Inoceramus perplexus, and Pycnodonte sp. or Rhynchostreon sp. There are six species of ammonites in three genera found within YUHO: Baculites undulatus, Baculites yokoyamai, Prionocyclus novimexicanus, Prionocyclus wyomingensis, Scaphites warreni, and Scaphites whitfieldi. There is one unidentifiable vertebrate bone that has been found in YUHO. Fossils within YUHO were first noticed in 1875–1876 by W. H. Holmes, who observed fossils within the building stones of the Ancestral Puebloans’ structures. Nearly half of the building stones in the archeological structures at YUHO are fossiliferous slabs of the Juana Lopez Member. There are outcrops of the Juana Lopez 0.8 km (0.5 mi) to the west of the structures, and it is hypothesized that the Ancestral Puebloans collected the building stones from these or other nearby outcrops. Following the initial observation of fossils, very little paleontology work has been done in the monument. There has only been one study focused on the paleontology and geology of YUHO, which was prepared by paleontologist Mary Griffitts in 2001. As such, this paleontological resource inventory report serves to provide information to YUHO staff for use in formulating management activities and procedures associated with the paleontological resources. In 2021, a paleontological survey of YUHO was conducted to revisit previously known fossiliferous sites, document new fossil localities, and assess collections of YUHO fossils housed at the Mesa Verde National Park Visitor and Research Center. Notable discoveries made during this survey include: several fossils of Cameleolopha lugubris, which had not previously been found within YUHO; and a fossil of Pycnodonte sp. or Rhynchostreon sp. that was previously unknown from within YUHO.
