Abstract- Lawang Sewu is a historic cultural heritage building that became one of the leading tourist attractionsin Semarang City. The building that was built in 1904 and completed in 1918 has experienced some changes infunction and ownership. Lawang Sewu was originally the administrative office of Nederlands-Indische SpoorwegMaatschappij (NIS). NIS is a private company engaged in the field of railways. Lawang Sewu also witnessed the5 days battle in Semarang that occurred on 14 to19 August 1949. It was marked by the location of Tugu MudaMonument located on the west side of Lawang Sewu. Apart from the historical side, spatial relationships betweenLawang Sewu and Tugu Muda Monument in the area, making the building of the former NIS office is significant.Architecturally, the significance can be explained in the context of the monumentality of the building.The Monumentality of Lawang Sewu is explained gradually from several aspects. First, an architecturalobject can be monumental seen from the link between architecture and monument. Second, the historical andcultural dynamics attached to the building. Third, the building relationship with the surrounding environment andits architectural character. Referring to the concept of architectural monumentality enclosed by YoshinobuAshihara and Louis Kahn, monumentality is described based on the image of the singularity of buildings thatarise from its relationship with the surrounding environment and the quality of the atmosphere of space formedfrom building elements.As an architectural object, Lawang Sewu has the required value in the definition of monuments andmonumental properties. These values include aspects of history, technology, architecture, and culture. Not onlyhas monumental values, Lawang Sewu also experienced the dynamics of changing the meaning of monuments asdescribed in the Nine Points on Monumentality. In addition, Lawang Sewu is a building inherent in the collectivememory of society. This is evidenced from the name Lawang Sewu which is actually a nickname. In thearchitectural context, Lawang Sewu is able to show the monumental value of its unique impression on Tugu MudaMonument Area. Then, both the architectural elements and the structures seen in the atmosphere of space inLawang Sewu able to convey the image of a certain period. Elements of buildings with economic value and hightechnological updates also form the value of Lawang Sewu monumentality.Key Words: significance, monumentality, history, culture, Lawang Sewu, railway

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.

The components of value are determined. The ranking of factors, which influence the cost of buildings the monuments of architecture, is carried out. It is proved that such factors as the historical and artistic value of a buildings-monuments increase the value of the object of estimation and, at the same time, make expensive assessments, substantial expenses for restoration, repair and maintenance. It is substantiated that the prestige of the architectural monument increases the income from the use of commercial premises located in it. However, the more unique a monument, the more encumbrances and restrictions exist in the implementation of any transaction, in the conduct of economic activity in the premises that are located in such a building. The variant of classification of architectural monuments according to the method of use is suggested. The peculiarity of application of three generally accepted in the world practice of estimation of methodical approaches to determination of cost of architectural monument is analyzed. The main advantage of the cost approach is the ability to accurately determine the value of low-performing markets. Without cost analysis it is impossible to make informed decisions about the feasibility of projects for the reconstruction of architectural monuments. However, it is virtually impossible to determine accurately the cost of materials and construction technologies that existed at the time of construction of the monument. A comparable approach can only be used when assessing the premises located in buildings-monuments of urban background construction. In this case, the comparative approach will have a complementary character with respect to the results obtained by other approaches. It is proved that the use of an integral coefficient that takes into account the value of an architectural monument as an object of cultural heritage does not affect the final value of the value of the commercial premises in which it is located. It is substantiated that the main methodological approach for estimating the value of commercial premises located in monuments is the income approach. The main criterion for investment attractiveness of commercial real estate is profitability. In determining the value through the use of a return approach, in addition to a retrospective analysis, possible scenarios for future activities are modeled.

AbstractArchaeologists commonly use the onset of the construction of large burial monuments as a material indicator of a fundamental shift in authority in prehistoric human societies during the Holocene. High-quality direct evidence of this transition is rare. We report new interdisciplinary research at the archaeological site of Nan Madol that allows us to specify where and when people began to construct monumental architecture in the remote islands of the Pacific. Nan Madol is an ancient administrative and mortuary center and the former capital of the island of Pohnpei. It was constructed over 83 ha of lagoon with artificial islets and other architecture built using columnar basalt and coral. We employed geochemical sourcing of basalt used as architectural stone and high-precision uranium-thorium series dates (230Th/U) on coral from the tomb of the first chief of the entire island to identify the beginning of monument building at Nan Madol in AD 1180-1200. Over the next several centuries (AD 1300-1600) monument building began on other islands across Oceania. Future research should be aimed at resolving the causes of these social transformations through higher quality data on monument building.

Full textAbstract:
At Brauron (Vraona or Vravrona) area, E. Attica, near the Brauron bay, by the Erasinos river there is an ancient monument of 415 B.C., dedicated to Artemis. The building material used for the construction of the monument is sandstone originated from Neogene sedimentary deposits. The ancient quarries are located 500m away from the monument and traces of quarring are still visible. Monument ruins had been buried under the mud load curried by Erasinos river for many centuries. During the restoration works of the Temple of Artemis besides the stone found in situ, new material provided by the same formation was as well, used. The restored monument stones display intensive deterioration. The purpose of this paper is to study of the decay forms and investigate the decay causes of the building stone in the monument. The decay forms result from intrinsic (endogenic) and environmental factors. The main endogenic factors of decay of the sandstone used as building material, are: a) the high porosity, and the pore size distribution, b) the calcite cement of the stone c) the mineralogical composition, especially the presence of swelling clay minerals. The main environmental factors of decay that result to the calcite and salt crystallization are a) the burial of the ancient building stones, in the brackish water-mud, for centuries b) the frequent floods and possible pollution of the nearby Erasinos river c) the acid rain and aerosol attack d) the bioteterioration. The conclusions of this case study may have application on other monuments of historical interest, in similar environment

Full textAbstract:
Building monuments was one way that past societies reconfigured their landscapes in response to shifting social and ecological factors. Understanding the connections between those factors and monument construction is critical, especially when multiple types of monuments were constructed across the same landscape. Geospatial technologies enable past cultural activities and environmental variables to be examined together at large scales. Many geospatial modeling approaches, however, are not designed for presence-only (occurrence) data, which can be limiting given that many archaeological site records are presence only. We use maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt), which works with presence-only data, to predict the distribution of monuments across large landscapes, and we analyze MaxEnt output to quantify the contributions of spatioenvironmental variables to predicted distributions. We apply our approach to co-occurring Late Precontact (ca. A.D. 1000–1600) monuments in Michigan: (i) mounds and (ii) earthwork enclosures. Many of these features have been destroyed by modern development, and therefore, we conducted archival research to develop our monument occurrence database. We modeled each monument type separately using the same input variables. Analyzing variable contribution to MaxEnt output, we show that mound and enclosure landscape suitability was driven by contrasting variables. Proximity to inland lakes was key to mound placement, and proximity to rivers was key to sacred enclosures. This juxtaposition suggests that mounds met local needs for resource procurement success, whereas enclosures filled broader regional needs for intergroup exchange and shared ritual. Our study shows how MaxEnt can be used to develop sophisticated models of past cultural processes, including monument building, with imperfect, limited, presence-only data.

AbstractBy virtue of its use in iconic monuments and historic buildings in the USA, Cockeysville marble, a dolomitic to calcitic lower Paleozoic (Cambrian/Ordovician) marble quarried in Baltimore County and adjacent areas in Maryland, is proposed as a potential Global Heritage Stone Resource. The most important use of this stone was for the Washington Monument in Washington, DC whose construction began in 1848; the second most important use was for the 108 columns of the United States Capitol's wings, completed in 1868. It was also used for two of the oldest major marble monuments in the USA, Baltimore's Battle Monument (dedicated in 1827) and Washington Monument (completed in 1829), as well as Baltimore's City Hall, Buffalo's Adkins Art Museum, Detroit's Fisher Building and parts of St Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. During the nineteenth century white Cockeysville was most desired, but a colourful variety, Mar Villa marble, was also used in the first decades of the twentieth century. Cockeysville marble is no longer quarried for dimension stone. All Cockeysville used outdoors has weathered to a lesser or great extent, but early testing indicating that the dolomitic marble would be more durable has proved to be true.

The article reveals the results of pedoarchaeological research of the Zhayyk-kurgan. The research is based on the pedoarchaeological method in the study of historical monuments as a part of natural. The essence of this method is a joint study of modern soils and ancient paleosols of different age archaeological monuments. The obtained data allowed us to clarify the construction features of the archaeological monument’s ground mound, as well as to suggest the time of its building. Natural conditions in this period (probably 5th century BC) were generally similar to modern ones, the area was dominated by steppe landscapes with dark chestnut soils. The сentral part of the kurgan was built of soil blocks, which are cut out upper humus horizons of the soil in their natural composition. The inner mound of the monument is surrounded by a circular moat about 80 cm deep. In the сentral part of the mound, there are traces of burning in the form of burnt and melted blocks, pieces of soil colored brick and dark pink, charred fragments of wood. The internal structure made of blocks is covered with an embankment of yellow-gray loose humus loam, which is a layer of soil lying under the humus horizon in the areas of building blocks preparation, and this material also fills the ring moat. The embankment that overlaps the primary structure, in turn, is covered with a massive gray-brown top-up that forms the appearance of the monument. It is possible to point out three stages of the kurgan construction: the moment of building a block structure with a ring moat; the stage of building the first mound, and then covering the entire structure with the mound of the last burial.

Structural rehabilitation, especially of historical monuments, is a difficult and widely treated subject in order to achieve a better insight regarding their seismic response. In Romania, a lot of historical monuments that require rehabilitation due to seismic actions are encountered. This paper aims to assess the effects of structural retrofitting on a historical monument located in Botoşani County, which withstood during its life cycle important earthquakes. The 20th century monument is located in a seismic active area of North – Eastern Romania, at a distance less than 300 km from Vrancea region where the epicenter of major earthquakes for the Eastern Europe is situated. Two hypotheses for the FE model of the structure were considered, namely with and without the rehabilitation solution. Nonlinear FEM analyses were performed in computer software environments. Using specific modeling tools of the computer program it is intended to simulate linear behaviour of masonry and global response of the structure. Comparisons between the two models were made. The results are used to validate the rehabilitation solution also consisting a source of information for its effects during structural lifetime cycle of the historical church.

Abstract Malta is a representative model for recording and preserving archaeological remains and historical monuments. Being a historically and culturally rich location, it requires creating, maintaining and updating a database in order to keep a record of the state of degradation or the actions to restore historical monuments. One way to preserve the image and shape of a historical monument is by creating a three-dimensional model. The advantage of such a model is its visualization and keeping in a form close to the real shape of a monument in a particular moment in time. It can thus highlight the levels of wear and degradation, the eventually necessary rehabilitation works or simply reproduce the impressions that the building would actually leave on a visitor.

Louis Sullivan's Wainwright Building has long occupied a central place in the history of modern architecture. In The Wainwright Building: Monument of St. Louis's Lager Landscape, Paula Lupkin reexamines the canonical “first skyscraper” as a different type of monument: the symbolic center of St. Louis's “lager landscape.” Viewed through the lenses of patronage and local history, this ten-story structure emerges as the white-collar hub of one of the city's most important cultural and economic forces: brewing. Home to the city's brewery architects and contractors, a brewing consortium, and related real estate and insurance companies, the building, as Ellis Wainwright conceived it, served as the downtown headquarters of the brewing industry. Echoing the brewery stock house as well as cold storage structures and ornamented with motifs of lager's most expensive ingredient, hops, the building's design incorporated both the natural and technological elements of brewing. Analyzing the Wainwright Building as part of a lager landscape adds new dimension and significance to Sullivan's masterpiece.

Presents detailed review of the main values inherent to architectural monuments and draws a distinction between their sources and characteristics. Author analyzes six main values: practical, sacred, historical, artistic, scientific, and urban. The combination of some or all values can give the monument ability to provide emotional impact on the viewer which is examined separately. The sources of this ability can be: an artistic image, appearance (patina, later historical layers), authentic material, relation to the history, as well as the ambience of the building. Each value is determined by a number of features and has a diapason. Particular value is more or less expressed in different monuments, has different quality and potentially can be increased

The Willed and the Unwilled Monument: Judenplatz Vienna and Riegl’s Denkmalpflege takes a new approach to the competition for the Monument and Memorial for the Jewish Victims of the Nazi Regime in Austria. Noting the complication of the case by the discovery of medieval archaeological remains on Vienna’s Judenplatz, and the ambivalence of the jury in choosing a sculptural project that made no reference to these remains, Mechtild Widrich turns to a lucid source of thinking about memory and public building, Alois Riegl’s essay on the monument cult (Denkmalkultus) and the newspaper articles and government documents he produced on the same subject. Through Riegl’s distinction between “willed” and “unwilled” monuments, and the force the latter exert on the subjectivity of modern spectators, the choice and execution of Rachel Whiteread’s “Nameless Library” in Vienna becomes intelligible, as do wider trends in restoration and commemoration of the late 1980s and 1990s.

This article discusses the issue of adaptation of immovable historic monument and sites in light of the legal requirements and from the point of view of heritage protection authorities being one of the participants of the adaptation process. The initial aim is to define the concept of monument adaptation and delineate the conditions in which such a process occurs. The article describes a series of initial actions taken prior to the actual preservation and restoration works – as part of the adaptation process. These works include e.g. detailed research on a historic monument or site, including historical (historical-preservation studies), preservation, architecture, and in many cases also archaeological research. The aim of these activities is to acquire a fullest possible picture of the monument. The results of this research then constitute a basis for preparation of project documentation of the intended works. The article underlines importance of assigning an appropriate purpose to the asset undergoing the process of adaptation, which should be merged with a monument or site, i.e. respect all of its historical values and ensure the optimal utility of the asset, avoiding a series of potential negative consequences.The paper then discusses the applicable legal framework concerning protection of immovable monuments and competences of monument protection authorities resulting from the said framework.The paper’s conclusion postulates that the activities of all personnel working on historic monuments and sites should be guided by their inner conviction that monuments need to be looked after and that they have a social duty to maintain them for the sake of future generations. This duty is actually applicable to all citizens, just as the cultural heritage is the primary building block of the nation’s historical identity.

Introduction. The article examines an object of cultural heritage that is involved in forming the architectural look of the Musin-Pushkin Estate at the intersection of Dobroslobodskaya and Spartakovskaya Streets in Moscow (now a group of buildings of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering) — the ensemble fence connected with the red line of Spartakovskaya Street. As a listed building of federal importance, the monument is currently preserved as repaired and restored in the Soviet period, but it is still important as a part of the ensemble created in the era of classicism, since it once included the front gate opened into the vast estate. The main objective of this article is to trace the history of the estate fence, to identify later inclusions in the building mass and, as a consequence, to propose a graphic reconstruction of its original look.
Materials and methods. The study of the monument is based on the method of comprehensive source study, which includes the search and analysis of sources and literature, field studies, including probing, pit sampling and measuring work, as well as chemical development study of building and finishing materials. Using the comparative method, this object was studied among stylistically and typologically similar buildings.
Results. As a result of the research, the construction periodization of the monument was identified, its existing volumes were dated, the initial elements of the building were discovered and studied, and later strata were identified, which made it possible to develop a graphic reconstruction of the building for the initial period.
Conclusions. The proposed reconstruction of the monument has resulted from the comprehensive studies allowing to reconstruct the fence that has lost the original architectural form throughout its existence. As a result, the fence will enrich one of the most fascinating manor ensembles in Moscow providing its completion.

The non-destructive methods are necessary in the investigation of the physical and mechanical properties of the materials in monuments. In this framework the ultrasonic velocities were used in situ for the elaboration and evaluation of the weathering on the surfaces of monuments. Additionally, the P-wave velocities were used for the estimation of the depth of weathered zone, as well as the depth of cracks at the surface of the monument. This estimation was performed on a Jewish tomb placed in the AUTH university campus between the building of Law and Economic Sciences and the Administration building, of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

In order to come to an unbiassed decision, specialists need a comprehensive and systematic approach, as well as a certain set of principles and criteria for choosing this approach. The article presents a review of the seventy-year period of preservation of the wooden Transfiguration Church of the Kizhi Pogost built in 1714. During this period, there was discovered the danger of the monument collapse and urgent measures were required to save it. This determined the tasks and methods of its restoration. Observing the continuity of restoration processes, there were revealed various approaches to the building preservation. The results obtained are recommended to be used when carrying out activities to preserve wooden religious monuments, taking into account the characteristics of a particular monument.

This paper is based on the 2012 Europa Lecture and discusses the relationship between the forms and structures of domestic buildings and those of public monuments. Its chronological scope extends between the Neolithic period and the Viking Age in western, northern and central Europe, with a special emphasis on the contrast between circular and rectilinear architecture. There were practical limits to the diameters of circular constructions, and beyond that point they might be organised in groups, or their characteristic outlines were reproduced in other media, such as earthwork building. By contrast, the main constraint on building rectangular houses was their width, but they could extend to almost any length. That may be one reason why they only occasionally provided the prototype for specialised forms of monument such as mounds or enclosures. Instead rectangular buildings played a wide variety of roles from domestic dwellings to ceremonial centres.

Topographical and geophysical surveys carried out in August 2002 at three monuments in the Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire are reported: Bedd Arthur, Gors Fawr and Meini Gwyr. Previously unrecorded features were revealed at all three sites, most spectacularly at Meini Gwyr which, from the evidence of geophysical survey, appears to be a multi-phase monument that includes a double pit-circle, hengi-form monument and embanked enclosure with an internal stone circle. Comparisons are made with plans prepared by Flinders Petrie in 1926, published here for the first time. A viewshed analysis of the surveyed sites and others of similar kind in the area allows an appreciation of landscape setting and intervisibility. It is suggested that the stone circles are sited in relation to upland stone sources. All the monuments considered here are compared with contemporary structures recorded elsewhere in the British Isles. It is concluded that while the stone circles and oval setting fit comfortably within a distribution pattern that extends across most of the British Isles, the later phases of Meini Gwyr at least belong to a more localized tradition of monument building focused on the Irish Sea region.

Full textAbstract:
The Huambo (former Nova Lisboa) Veterinary Academic Hospital, designed by Vasco Vieira da Costa in 1970, was never completed. With the independence of Angola in 1975, a civil war started and lasted 27 years, with its main battlefield in the country’s central region, where the opposition party was settled. The building has served as a military headquarters since the 80’s, becoming extremely damaged in the last three decades. Peace was restored in 2002 but 30 soldiers are still nowadays living in the ruins to defend the building from vandalism. The University is planning the renovation of the Veterinary Academic Hospital, although unawareness about the building’s heritage significance may result in the irreversible loss of an Angolan Modern monument.

Full textAbstract:
The so-called Greco-Roman monuments, also known as neoclassical monuments, in Nepal represent unique construction systems. Although they are not native to Nepal, they are icons of the early 19th century in the Kathmandu valley. As such structures are located within the heritage sites and historical centers, preservation of Greco-Roman monuments is necessary. Since many buildings are in operation and accommodate public and critical functions, their seismic safety has gained attention in recent times, especially after the Gorkha earthquake. This paper first presents the background of the Bagh Durbar monument, reports the damage observations, and depicts some repair and retrofitting solutions. Attention is paid to the implementation of the different phases of the structural characterization of the building, the definition of reference material parameters, and finally, the structural analysis made by using finite element models. The aim of the contribution consists of comparison of the adequacy of the finite element model with the field observations and design of retrofitting solutions to assure adequate seismic safety for typical Greco-Roman buildings in Nepal. Thus, this paper sets out to provide rational strengthening solutions compatible with the existing guidelines rather than complex numerical analyses.

Full textAbstract:
Historians are more likely to examine monumental buildings as finished products than as processes of construction. Chicago's Auditorium Building was monumentality itself: upon completion in 1890 it was the largest edifice in the United States, and an exceptionally elegant one. Though often discussed as a work of art, an urban icon, and a measure of regional accomplishment, it has yet to be considered as a nexus of social relations. For monument appraisal tends to overlook the role of labor – including its relations with capital – that is not only inherent to the construction process, but that in this instance also affected Chicago's future. It was precisely the Auditorium's monumentality that prompted local trade unions to develop new tactics that yielded unprecedented results.

Full textAbstract:
The archaeological survey of Balboura in northern Lycia conducted between 1985 and 1990 under the direction of J. J. Coulton permitted the recording of a number of architectural monuments including two theatres. The first, located at the edge of the valley 200 metres south of the Roman town, was studied during the 1987 season and has been presented in a previous issue ofAnatolian Studiesas an unfinished monument of the late Roman period. The second theatre, situated on the steep southern slope of the acropolis hill some 70 metres above the floor of the gorge, was surveyed in the summer of 1990 and is the subject of this paper (Figs. 1, 2, 3).The monument was first described—briefly and without drawings—by Spratt and Forbes who made a hurried survey of the city site in 1842. Peterson and Von Luschan came through in 1882 and later published without comment the first photograph showing the impressive levelling platform that supported the scene building. The only study in modern times has been that of de Bernardi Ferrero which appeared in the second volume of her monumental corpus of classical theatres in Asia Minor. Time apparently did not permit a thorough survey which is hardly surprising considering the enormous scope of her undertaking but her observations, as far as they go, are sound, and her photographs numerous and well chosen. De Bernardi Ferrero's graphic documentation is inadequate, however, especially as regards the original appearance of the stage building which, although almost thoroughly denuded, provides more surface clues than her drawings indicate. Her late Hellenistic designation for the building, which remains unexcavated and has produced no inscriptions, is, in any case, accepted here.

Abstract While recent studies on Macedonia have mostly focused on ‘Skopje 2014’ as a uniquely excessive project of nation-building, this article analyses local developments in monument culture elsewhere in Macedonia. Disentangling the processes of nation-building since the Ohrid Agreement of 2001, the author distinguishes three coexisting, but competing, repertoires of monument culture, namely a Yugoslav, a Macedonian, and an Albanian one. Each repertoire has been closely associated with ethnicity and the legitimation of ethnopolitical claims, as well as party politics and ideology. The past has continued to divide Macedonians. The author argues that these divisions in Macedonian monument culture reflect the competing and diverging Albanian and Macedonian historical narratives, and amount to effectively mutually exclusive ethnic and ideological nation-building efforts in post-Ohrid Macedonia.

Abstract Ernő Foerk’s most well-known work in architectural circles is certainly the volume published in the reprint edition, which collects the material of the building surveys conducted by the students of the Hungarian Royal Public Higher Architectural Industrial School between 1912-1942. The introduction to each volume shows that he considered to document the buildings as the main task of the surveys - besides their role in education - and thus to serve the Hungarian culture. Architectural surveying is still one of the most important starting points for monument reconditioning. Ideally, the process of monument reconditioning consists of the following steps: Scientific Research - Pre-planning Technical Studies – Compilation of a Planning Program and Planning - Professional Authority Control (getting of building permission) – Building Construction Work and (Fine Art) Restoration - Maintenance. This paper presents the essential role of surveying in this process.

In order to preserve the historical part of the city of Saratov, a survey of the building, which is an object of cultural heritage and refers to an architectural monument of federal significance, was carried out. During the inspection, defects in floor structures made of different materials and having different technical solutions were revealed. At different elevations, the supporting elements of the floors are made of wood, brick and reinforced concrete. The results of the survey with a description of the defects of wooden and stone floors. The analysis of defects allowed us to establish the causes of their appearance. Recommendations on troubleshooting are given. The described defects are characteristic of buildings of an old construction, therefore the results of this work can be used when conducting a survey of architectural monuments.

The use of lime plaster as a protection of building units against moisture is very common in the monument preservation, but controversially discussed. Historical buildings often demonstrate the problems of the two building materials, in particular the insufficient adherence between clay and lime in the course of time. Previous results of research brought out contradictory statements. The project especially focuses on the compressed, hydrophobic polished lime plaster Tadelakt, which can act as a protection of surfaces in wet rooms with climatically extreme conditions like increased humidity and high temperature. Reported are the results yielded in the research project which covers the investigations to improve the mechanical adherence and to analyze the chemical reaction between the both building materials.

A classic exposition of the difficulties of dating a major monument and why it matters. Silbury Hill, one of the world's largest prehistoric earth mounds, is too valuable to take apart, so we are reliant on samples taken from tunnels and chance exposures. Presenting a new edition of thirty radiocarbon dates, the authors offer models of short- or long-term construction, and their implications for the ritual landscape of Silbury and Stonehenge. The sequence in which monuments, and bits of monuments, were built gives us the kind and history of societies doing the building. So nothing matters more than the dates…

Abstract For many years, attempts have been made to remove the relic of the ‘Piast’ Cinema in the western town of Słubice from Poland’s monuments register. This would allow for its demolition and construction of a modern commercial building on the site. The majority of the building has already be demolished, with only the front elevation remaining. The façade of the cinema has unique artistic value, representing a rare example of the art deco style in the region. The building also forms an important part of the cultural landscape of this border town, representing the history of both Słubice and nearby Frankfurt. With its total demolition, Słubice would lose a unique monument and the entire frontage of the street on which it is located would be downgraded.

The Bell Tower of the Basilica de la Merced de Lima is a monument with its own personality in itself, was built by master masonry Alonso de Morales as contract signed May 12, 1589 whose original is in the General File Nation of Peru. Until now has been repaired several times due to damage to large earthquakes that destroyed the city of Lima in more than one occasion. The Bell Tower of the Basilica de la Merced de Lima is the construction of unreinforced brick masonry higher and that has continued for over four centuries in the same location and is without doubt one of the famous monuments of the city of Lima. For structural analysis, the monument was modeled and analyzed by finite element method, models were developed to adjust and show impressive results and consistent with the records of damage were made in the year 2005 date when the monument was established structurally. An important historical record supports the technical scope of the investigation. Interesting comments on its formidable seismic capacity, and their significant contributions in knowledge of construction techniques of the builders of the sixteenth century in Lima, reveal a building that surprises with its apparent simplicity but it saves a lot of knowledge about engineering techniques applied to the great monuments that have survived from the years in which Lima was the largest metropolis in South America.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present research on vulnerability and service life indexes applied to cultural heritage buildings. The construction and rehabilitation industry is concerned with the maintenance of monuments and reducing the economic costs of urgent interventions by taking preventive conservation action in historic cities. By applying a vulnerability index or analyzing the service life of buildings, it is possible to reduce risk and optimize the identification, evaluation and prioritization of urgent monument restoration tasks in a city or a region to establish preventive conservation policies. Design/methodology/approach This research sets out the concepts of vulnerability and service life, focusing on their methodologies in comparison with other techniques for building diagnosis, discussing the differences between indexes that measure the vulnerability and service life of buildings. Findings The vulnerability of three churches in Seville (Spain) was studied by means of their vulnerability index, based on Delphi analysis, and the service life of these buildings was also assessed, based on artificial intelligence tools. Delphi and artificial intelligence tools allow us to compare and dovetail different scenarios and expert opinions. The degree of each monument’s conservation is defined as its vulnerability index, which is an indirect function of deterioration levels. The service life of buildings, on the other hand, includes the assessment of vulnerability and hazards. Practical implications This study is useful for stakeholders, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and policymakers, as an important reference on diagnosis, including updated, inexpensive and sustainable methodologies to manage the conservation of monuments, which are easy to implement in developed and developing countries. The application of vulnerability and/or service life indicators is crucial to ensuring the sustainability and improvement of maintenance carried out on cultural heritage buildings. Originality/value This study details new approaches based on artificial intelligence and Delphi analysis to prioritize preventive conservation actions in a city or region.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the intensification of historical buildings restoration works that are cultural monuments and related to architectural monuments, numerous questions arise about the possibility of increasing the efficiency of translucent structures, including their energy efficiency, using modern innovative technologies. The cost of competent reconstruction of windows and lanterns with the preservation of historical elements is much higher than the cost of standard modern structures, as a result of which there are numerous examples of barbaric illegal replacement of historical windows with modern ones. This not only spoils the appearance of buildings, but also contradicts federal laws (with all the ensuing consequences). Earlier, NIISF RAASN carried out multifactorial field studies of historical translucent coverings of a cultural monument of federal significance – the main building of the Pushkin Museum, on the basis of which their inconsistency with modern requirements for such structures was established. According to the technical assignment and the project for the reconstruction of the building, 13 options were proposed for the possible restoration of these coatings. To assess the proposed options, a comprehensive computer simulation and corresponding calculations were carried out in accordance with the certified software package “WINDOW TECT”. On the basis of the conducted examinations and computer calculations, optimal solutions were proposed for the restoration of historical translucent coatings of the main building of the Pushkin Museum, providing for the preservation of the original elements of metal structures and ensuring an increase in the thermal characteristics of the lantern and side lamp.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this contribution is to highlight the traces of diverse social practices on the Second Stela of Kamose, whose relevance is not usually recognized. The stone on which the Stela was engraved has a long history. It comes from a Middle Kingdom door jamb probably belonging to a royal building erected at the temple. After several centuries of being located in the temple, the Stela was buried into the base of a statue of Ramesses II, where it was found in 1954, in front of the Second Pylon. Not only is the reuse of monuments highlighted here, but also other practices made on the monument’s surface: the damnatio memoriae and the scribble of graffiti. Thus, the Stela becomes an appropriate example to observe, analyze and reflect on those social practices, which in turn make it a relevant monument by itself, beyond the content of the well-known written text

Understanding the relationship between the project of modernity and urbanism has been key to understanding the city of Buenos Aires’ material transformations throughout the 20th century. This paper considers how thinking about the issues of modernity and urbanism from the perspective of monuments--namely, the Obelisk of Buenos Aires--sheds new light on how elements of this modernizing project were undertaken and how its material markers have been used and manipulated, and modified through their representation in cultural discourse on the city. Rethinking Buenos Aires from the Obelisk implies literally thinking from underground, from the subway lines that form its base and transform it into a popular symbol of mobility.

This work is about a study of ancient earthquake that significantly damaged the Khan’s Palace in Bakhchysarai at the end of the 1600’s. Today, however, it is almost impossible to find evidences of this catastrophic event in walls of the Hansaray. Our research shows that this may be explained by the large numbers of repairs and restorations that are constantly carried out on the monument. Only due to the fact that one object of the Khan’s Palace (“eastern building”) was raided in the 2013, we can fix the internal structure of its walls and find evidences of seismogenic deformation of the plinth arch with repair. We carried out a search for analogies to date this ancient seismic event. Similar damages were found in walls of the Eski-Durbe, monuments of the first palace of Crimean khans in Salachik (Zangirli madrassah and durbe of Haji-Geray) and the Great Kenassa from Chufut-Kale. The comparison of the chronology and characteristics of seismic deformations of “eastern structure” and other monuments gave the possibility to associate their damages with the “Salachik” earthquake of April 30, 1698, with seismic rupture located along the West-Crimean seismogenic zone and local intensity near Bakhchysarai Il = VIII–IX points (MSK-64). The magnitude of the event is not yet clear and can be estimated with more data. However, it is obvious, that the “Salachik” earthquake should be considered not only from the point of the seismotectonics and long-term seismic forecast for the Crimea, but also as major event of building periodization of the Hansaray. Our studies showed that this earthquake with high degree of probability had destroyed the Sahib Geray Divan Hall and had forced to make a significant rebuilding of the Khan’s Palace, which was unknown before our studies. These rebuilding significantly changed the monument and began the formation of late topography of the Hansaray, which has remained almost unchanged until now. Ancient part of the palace and Sahib Geray’s buildings sustained significant damage during the “Salachik” earthquake. From those buildings the history of construction of the palace complex, and also the city of Bakhchysarai, has began.

The Monastery of Deçan is a monument of cultural heritage in Deçan-Kosova. The monastery was built in the 14th century, and is listed at the UNESCO monuments list. The monastery of Deçan is considered one of the most important cultural and monumental building pertaining to the medieval period in Kosova and in the region in general. The paper deals especially with the historical aspect of its existence as well as its architectonic properties. The architecture of monastery of Deçan is characterized by Byzantine elements, but one can also observe Roman Italian elements in its architecture. The attempts to appropriate and assimilate the historical and cultural background that is characteristic to the monastery, and classify it as a Serbian monastery are numerous and often times lack sufficient scientific basis. The monastery of Deçan, with its Roman-Gothic architecture and its unique history enriches the cultural mosaic of cultural heritage in Kosova, and as such it is part of the culture of all Kosovars.

Abstract The article deals with problems of reconstruction of the facade and the associated problem of replacement or repair of the panels. In conventional buildings it is a smooth operation, but it is problematic in monument-protected objects. In the case of a common building, it is possible to choose any modern panels and simply replace them, but for historical objects we have to follow the claims and the rules of monument protection. In practice, it usually means the impossibility of use of modern panels, but at least a combination of old and modern technologies. Another possible solution to the problem is renovation, or repairs to the original state of the existing panels, of course with respect to the functionality of such panels. The implementation of such repairs must always be based on the technical and historical survey of the condition of the object and the repairs must be professionally designed. Subsequently, corrections are made, during which it is necessary to pay particular attention to observance of the technological procedures, rules and instructions particularly in terms of monument protection. However, the functionality of the works or elements made with regard to the quality of the environment within the building is not negligible. A common problem is the lack of control of technical requirements and functional requirements. Underestimation of the problems then leads to difficult repairs. The article points to the mistakes and problems of one such construction project on a historically protected chateau building.

Full textAbstract:
The degree of repair and conservation of a historic building often creates controversy. Guidelines and principles in conservation such as international charters and manifestos of various conservation movements can generate inconclusive debates. A philosophical approach to conservation is based on the value given to the monument and site, since the aim of conservation is" ... the upkeep and maintenance of historic buildings and areas that merit care either due to their cultural significance or due to their social and economic values" (Jokilehto 1992: 109). It is obvious that we want to conserve what we value. Therefore, if the values of a historic monument are agreed upon, planning for its conservation should not create much argument.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe existing discussion regarding the motives for building the Dome of the Rock revolves around two suggestions: that the incentive for building was the fierce competition between ʿAbd al-Malik and ʿAbdallah b. al-Zubayr in Mecca, and that it was competition with local Christian monuments that moved ʿAbd al-Malik to building this outstanding edifice. This paper suggests that a third incentive lay in the political and ideological rivalry with Constantinople that was at its peak during that period. This rivalry drove ʿAbd al-Malik to build a monument that would outdo those of Constantinople, and especially that of the Hagia Sophia. Muslim tradition emphasized that Constantinople had contaminated the site of the Temple and had claimed to inherit its place as God's throne on earth. The building of the Dome of the Rock, the New Temple of Solomon, was thus meant to redeem the Temple of Jerusalem's honour as of old against the claims of Constantinople.
