Full textAbstract:
As a contribution to econometric research on the role of architectural heritage, this dissertation evaluates non-aggregate data for a total of 2142 designated National Priority Protected Sites (NPPS) in China using hedonic model and ordered probit model. Attempting to verify economic costs of conserving architectural heritage sites in China, the objectives of the dissertation are to find out the grading system of NPPS; to compare the monetary value and non-monetary value methods on architectural heritage conservation; to identify the current criteria of national heritage conservation maintenance funding (NHCMF) allocation for the NPPS; and to select and evaluate the key factors of NHCMF allocation for the NPPS. The research question of this dissertation is: “what are the decision criteria of NHCMF allocation in China?”. The dissertation conceives of one general hypothesis and 17 empirical hypotheses. The general hypothesis is based on the maintenance funding and grading system of each conservation project. The empirical hypotheses are generated from possible determined factors of NHCMF allocation, theories of sustainable development, economic value and heritage value.
Based on the real market information, 7 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. They are “average household income”, “annual economic benefit”, “average personal salary”, “population”, “ticket”, “types modern building” and “types revolutionary sites”. Of these 7 factors, on the one hand, “average household income”, “annual economic benefit”, “population”, “entry ticket fee” and “types (revolutionary sites)” have positive relationship with the maintenance cost. The positive relationship result implies that the revolutionary sites locate in economic developed area with more population and higher entry ticket fee are more likely to get more maintenance funding. On the other hand, “average personal salary” and “types (modern buildings)” have negative relationship with maintenance funding. The negative relationship result reflects that modern buildings of NPPS with higher average personal salary are less likely getting more maintenance funding.
Based on the hypothetical market data, 4 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. The factors of “population and “annual economic benefit” have the same relationship with monetary market data. The “maintenance funding” and “original usage” have negative relationship with grading system.published_or_final_version

Örn, Tomas. "Energy efficiency in heritage buildings : Conservation approaches and their impact on energy efficiency measures." Licentiate thesis, Luleå tekniska universitet, Arkitektur och vatten, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-68405.
Full textAbstract:
The impeding climate change challenge urges for a reduction of energy use in the built environment. Buildings account for nearly 40% of the total energy use and about 35% of the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. EU member states are required to improve the energy efficiency of the existing building stock, for example by sharpening building regulations and developing enforcement schemes. Since energy efficiency retrofits can affect irreplaceable values in heritage buildings, heritage buildings are often excluded from mandatory demands aiming at reducing the energy use in buildings. However, saving energy have gradually become embraced by the conservation community and heritage buildings with are seen as part of the solution. This licentiate thesis discusses the methods to identify heritage significance in a building and how the underlying theory determines different scenarios in a energy retrofitting process. The choice of conservation theory and conservation approach will affect the success the energy retrofitting process and determine how much the energy use that can be reduced. This thesis therefore suggests a framework to understand the different interpretation of the impacts that one could exert either by having an Objectivistic or Relative conservation value approach.. Based on this framework, a decision-support tool is developed to further detail the impacts of such approaches for different energy measures. Other results show that a majority of reviewed research publications focused on the operational energy in a building and only a few were concerned with energy use over the entire life- cycle of a building. These analyses are used to evaluate where most energy savings can be made, and often pinpoint weak spots in the building’s envelope or technical system. If it was mentioned at all, the influence of cultural and historical factors on energy efficiency measures as applied to heritage buildings tended to be assessed only briefly. Indeed, the majority does not describe conservation principles or even mention the methodology used – if any – for assessing or defining heritage values. Instead, researchers often show an explicit (sometimes an implicit) understanding of conservation as essentially something that is not destructive of original construction material and hence the authenticity of a building. This licentiate thesis is a compilation thesis, consisting of one separate sub-study, one literature review and an extended cover essay. The study is oriented towards a Swedish and European context, especially when it comes to climate conditions and discussions on building regulations and the theory and practice of architectural conservation. It addresses the growing research field of energy efficiency in heritage buildings and the thesis aims to contribute to an increased understanding on how the process of assessment and evaluation of heritage significance in buildings affects the making of heritage buildings more energy efficient. The main research question is: How do different approaches for assessing and evaluating heritage significance in buildings affect possible technical energy saving measures in heritage buildings?Klimatförändringarna driver utvecklingen mot att energianvändningen i den byggda miljön behöver minska. Byggnader står för nästan 40% av den totala energianvändningen och cirka 35% av utsläppen av växthusgaser i Europa. EUs medlemsländer är bundna att förbättra energieffektiviteten hos befintliga byggnader, till exempel genom att skärpa byggreglerna och utveckla handlingsplaner. Eftersom energieffektiviseringar kan påverka värden i kulturhurhistoriska byggnader, är dessa ofta undantagna från krav som syftar till att minska energianvändningen i byggnader. Energibesparing och resurshushållning har gradvis blivit omfamnad av kulturmiljösektorn och kulturhistoriska byggnader betraktas allt mer som en del av lösningen på klimatförändringarna. I licentiatavhandlingen diskuteras metoderna för att identifiera kulturhistoriska värden i en byggnad och hur den underliggande teorin påverkar olika scenarier i en energieffektiviseringprocess. Valet av bevarandeteori och bevarandestrategi påverkar framgångsfaktorn i energieffektivseringen och hur mycket energianvändningen i en kulturhistorisk byggnad kan minskas. I denna avhandling föreslås därför ett teoretiskt ramverk för att förstå effekterna av de olika kulturhistoriska bedömningar som kan göras, antingen genom att använda ett objektivistiskt eller en relativ syn på hur en en byggnads kulturhistoriska värden skapas och bäst bevaras. Utifrån detta teoretiska ramverk har ett stöd för beslutsfattande utvecklats för att ytterligare beskriva effekterna av de olika bevarandestrategiernas påverkan på implementeringen av olika energieffektiviserande åtgärder. Andra resultat visar att en majoritet av de granskade forskningspublikationerna fokuserade på den operativa energin i en byggnad och bara ett fåtal gällde energianvändning under hela livscykeln i en byggnad. Dessa analyser används för att utvärdera var de flesta energibesparingar kan göras och ofta identifiera svaga punkter i byggnadens klimatskal eller tekniska system. Om det nämndes alls tenderade inflytandet av kulturella och historiska faktorer på energieffektivitetsåtgärder som tillämpas på arvsbyggnader endast att bedömas kortfattat. Faktum är att majoriteten av de genomgångna publikationerna inte beskriver bevarandeprinciper och inte nämner den metod som används för att bedöma eller definiera kulturhistoriska värden. Istället används ofta en explicit (ibland en implicit) förståelse för bevarande som i huvudsak något som inte förstör ursprungligt material och därmed autenticitet i en byggnad. Denna licentiatavhandling består av en separat undersökning, en litteraturöversikt och en utökad kappa. Studien är inriktad på ett svenskt och europeiskt sammanhang, särskilt när det gäller klimatförhållanden och diskussioner om byggregler och teori och praktik för kulturhistoriskt bevarande av byggnader. Den är en del av det växande forskningsområdet energieffektivisering i kulturhistoriska byggnader och avhandlingen syftar till att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur utvärderingen av kulturhistoriska värden i byggnader påverkar arbetet med att göra dem mer energieffektiva. Huvudforskningsfrågan är: Hur påverkar olika metoder för bedömning och utvärdering av kulturhistoriska värden energibesparande åtgärder i kulturhistoriska byggnader?

Full textAbstract:
The demolition of Star Ferry Pier and Queen’s Ferry Pier, the controversial conservation approaches for Wan Chai Market and Central Market, and the recent crisis owing to proposed demolition of West Wing of Central Government Offices raise my deep concern on conservation of architecture of recent past. During public consultation for conservation approach for these modern buildings, the term of “collective memory” is widely adopted as the only core value of and justification to preservation. The architectural value of buildings of this period (i.e. 1950s - 80s) in Hong Kong, however, are always looked down or undervalued by conservation experts and general public owing to sheer quantities of such building type in our community.
This dissertation is to look into characters of modern architecture, values of such building type to our community and identify their exemplary works in Hong Kong. Through study of world-wide development of conserving modern architecture as built heritage in this dissertation, it tells us Hong Kong is far behind on this issue. We could not wait, but take our first step to safeguard the modern architectural heritage of our city. In the last chapter, therefore, we suggest major steps for conserving modern built heritage in Hong Kong – identification, registration, documentation, and study whether our modern built heritage could meet the six selection criteria of the World Heritage List.
Recently, I am pleased to learn that Hong Kong is applying for membership of Working Party on the Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites and Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement (i.e. DOCOMOMO – Hong Kong). I wish the research result in this dissertation could contribute to such application.published_or_final_version

O'Grady, Rachel. "Collaborative heritage conservation in Tajganj : investigating civic possibilities in the urban order through architectural making." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2018. http://repository.londonmet.ac.uk/1425/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the claims made by architectural heritage on the urban order and investigates how architects might better contribute to practices of heritage conservation. There are conflicting opinions amongst residents, historians, academics and municipal authorities as to which parts of Tajganj, North India qualify as architectural heritage, and how they should be conserved. Currently, there is no effective institution for constructively negotiating these views. The only methods of heritage identification and repair carried out by the government reinforce an attitude to conservation inherited from the European preservationist movement: a centralised, monument-focused approach that contributes to the destruction of small-scale, resident-led practices of maintenance. Outside of the government’s programme of monument protection, development practitioners in India have embraced certain types of conservation project which are perceived to benefit residents in run-down, historic neighbourhoods: guided walks, ‘heritage houses’, and the ‘revival’ of traditional crafts are often intended to introduce a tourism economy to low-income areas. This thesis describes my collaboration with a group of residents, NGO workers and local craftspeople to critically reinvent these familiar conservation motifs through architectural making. A portfolio of drawings presented alongside the text was made during the process to clarify and develop the views towards conservation that emerged. The research demonstrates that civic praxis in Tajganj relies on an inherited order of architectural settings through which recent memories, accounts left by previous generations, and the conception of a shared past reaching beyond material remains influence the way that urban places are reimagined and developed. I argue for creative approaches to conservation that more self-consciously bring received cultural horizons into dialogue with the particular demands of the project to better understand both. Only then can the places we make bring with them opportunities to ethically interpret our commitment to a city held in common.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis undertakes a critical assessment of the impact of Statutory Legislation and UNESCO World Heritage Designation upon the sustainability and continued use of historic industrial buildings, utilising the late 18th Century Georgian Industrial Buildings of Darley Abbey Mills, Derby, as a case study. This thesis provides an indepth and longitudinal analysis of the morphology and evolution of Darley Abbey Mills between 2006-2015, during this time the assessment of whether the mills would find a sustainable and continued contemporary use has shifted from a concern that the site was slowly disintegrating with the danger of an important historical artefact being lost for ever or becoming irrevocably damaged through lack of maintenance and repair to a position where the future of the mills is looking promising. What makes Darley Abbey Mills so unusual or unique is that it possesses the highest possible levels of statutory protection, but that is also under private ownership. The initial findings in an analysis of policy documents and planning applications between 2006- 2010 was that there was limited engagement with the external heritage and conservations stakeholders or the Local Authority, an ‘umbrella of statutory protection’ was not providing barriers or protecting the site, there was just a lack of action by all parties. This changed during the period 2010-13 when the site came under new unified ownership, the new owners started to make small adaptations and repairs to the site that enabled them to encourage new tenants from the creative and artisan communities to the site, however all of this work was not authorised, nor was planning permission sought. Although there was still a lack of enforcement of what can be seen as ‘aspirational urbanism’, a dialogue was started between the owners and the wider stakeholder community. Between 2013-2015, the relationship between all of the stakeholders became more formalised and an unofficial partnership was formed between the owners and the monitoring bodies that resulted in the successful planning application to adapt the West Mills and Long Mill, which moved some of the way towards ensuring the sustainable and continued use of Darley Abbey Mills.

Embrey, Leah A. "Heritage Hotel: A Marriage of Heritage Tourism and Boutique Hospitality." VCU Scholars Compass, 2016. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/4246.
Full textAbstract:
As defined by Wai Mun Lim and Mel Endean in 2009 in their article “Elucidating the aesthetic and operational characteristics of UK boutique hotels” in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, Boutique hotels have less than 100 rooms, have an individualistic and unique design, are often in historic buildings, and have highly personalized service for guests. I found that a boutique hotel that focuses on historic preservation and heritage tourism does four things. First, it respects the history of the building it is housed in, preserving as much of the original structure as possible. It also takes advantage of the unique features the historical building offers, highlighting them with design choices. Third, it educates guests on the history of the building and the surrounding area with both information and design. Lastly, it encourages guests to visit and engage with other heritage tourism sites in the area, offering concierge services and ticket packages.

Engel, Purcell Caroline Marie. "Modern movement conservation : international principles and national policies in Great Britain and the United States of America." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23484.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the roles played by international, national, regional and local organisations and discourses in the heritage valorisation and conservation of modernist architecture – a process that has so far spanned some three decades. A leading role in this narrative has been played by international conservation organisations, which have acted as a unifying front for conservation advocacy and defined a conservation ideology that integrates the principles of both the modern movement and the conservation movement. Partly, this international emphasis has stemmed from the characteristics of the 20th century Modern Movement itself, including its strong strain of cosmopolitanism, as well as its still controversial reputation today at a local level. This initially gave the proselytising of modernist conservation a somewhat elite, trans-national character, exemplified by pioneering organisations such as DOCOMOMO. Yet the ‘internationalism’ of modernist conservation is only part of the story – for to establish this innovative new strand of heritage on a more entrenched basis, the familiar, more locally specific organisations and discourses that had supported previous phases of conservation growth were also increasingly applied to ‘MoMo’ heritage. This ‘on the ground’ involvement represented a convergence with more ‘traditional’ conservation practices, both in advocacy and campaigning, and in the research-led documentation required to document buildings’ significance and continued fitness for purpose. These geographically-specific forces operate at both a national level and also a regional or even local scale, as the thesis illustrates by the two national case studies of Great Britain and the United States of America. Although both countries shared numerous cultural similarities, especially the 19th century veneration of private property, the far more emphatic 20th century turn towards state interventionism in Britain led to a strong divergence regarding modernist heritage, both in the overall character of the modernist architecture built in the two countries (far more ‘capitalistic’ in the US) and in the approach to heritage conservation (more state-dominated in GB). In Great Britain, following on from the comprehensive post-WWII government ‘listing’ programme, the statutory heritage bodies – ‘regionally’ differentiated between England and Scotland - have maintained their leading role in the conservation of modern movement heritage through initiatives to identify buildings of significance, and powerful city planning authorities have provided co-ordinated enforcement. In the US, on the other hand, heritage protection has stayed faithful to its philanthropic roots and the onus of modern movement conservation is left to voluntary advocacy groups who then must campaign to have buildings protected piecemeal by local city or state preservation bodies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the twentieth century architecture from the perspective of conservation. The criteria of conservation have changed as the idea of conserving a single monument has progressed into the acceptance of the need to conserve different cultural properties and the field has been enriched with new notions, such as the twentieth century architectural heritage. The main concern in this thesis is to present these current debates about and developments in the conservation of the twentieth century architecture in the world and in Turkey. Such a study initially entails to deal with the basic issues of conservation, the twentieth century architecture in the world and in Turkey and its conservation, and to form a detailed documentation of registered twentieth century buildings. With reference to the information gathered from this study and by examining the registration decisions of buildings the aim is to analyse the practice of the conservation of the twentieth century architecture in Ankara as an exemplary case of the current situation of the field in these terms in Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Architectural heritage, as an important form of the past, has been attracted increasing awareness. Nowadays there is a shared common view in the world that to protect architectural heritage reasonably and based on scientific methods is a necessity of our age. This dissertation intends to analyze and compare the policies for the protection of the architectural heritage in East Asian and European countries. Japan, China, Singapore, Italy, Britain and Germany are selected as representative countries.
This dissertation is a non-empirical study, the main method for research is the documentary analysis. The contents of relevant literature and documents were comparatively analyzed by focusing on three issues: legislation, administration, finance. Each issue within six representative countries is described respectively. Based on such descriptions, a comprehensive comparison of each issue is conducted. These descriptions and comparisons can form the results of study and provide a remarkable insight into such issues of architectural heritage conservation in East Asian and European countries.
The conservation legislation of the representative countries is examined respectively in the process of reviewing their conservation movement. As a result of the review process, the main laws that apply to their present conservation practices are presented. Important provisions concerning architectural conservation of the main laws are described; some possible similarities and differences of these provisions are analyzed and compared. This can deliver a general understanding about the policy framework or institutions in these countries\' architectural conservation.
The administrative structures of the representative countries are analyzed from four levels: national, regional or local, consultation commissions and civic organizations. This dissertation summarizes some main authorities or organizations responsible for architectural conservation and their duties. In reference to previous descriptions, this dissertation analyzes and compares the characteristics of administrative structures of architectural conservation in East Asian and European countries based on the national and regional/local authorities. It can be concluded that most countries have been moving towards decentralization with varying degrees since the last decades of the 20th century. This dissertation also explores some possible motives for decentralized administration, analyzes the status quo of decentralization in the field of architectural conservation in different East Asian and European countries.
This dissertation also provides an overview of their different financial policies in the field of architectural conservation from two aspects: direct public finance and indirect finance. In their conservation practices, direct public funds invested in architectural conservation projects mainly come from central and local subsidies. Two proportions of central and local subsidies in conservation projects are summarized. This dissertation concludes that direct public finance is the main source of their conservation funds but the supply of direct public finance is often limited. In this context, this dissertation argues the important role of indirect finance in the field of architectural conservation, gives some possible ways to improve the efficiency of indirect financing.

Full textAbstract:
Les pratiques de conservation et restauration de monuments historiques requièrent l’élaboration de diagnostics impliquant différents intervenants au sein de contextes d’études pluridisciplinaires. L’état de conservation d’un objet patrimonial est ainsi étudié et décrit au moyen d’observations directes, de sources documentaires et de données analytiques de natures différentes. Les avancées des technologies numériques en matière de collecte, traitement et gestion de données, offrent aujourd’hui une opportunité sans précédent pour intégrer les résultats de ces observations et ces données au sein de systèmes innovants de représentation pour la documentation et la connaissance du patrimoine. Cependant, si une panoplie de nouveaux outils est aujourd’hui à disposition de la communauté des scientifiques et des professionnels du patrimoine, le problème d’une corrélation pertinente de ces données et de ces informations hétérogènes reste peu exploré. Tout d’abord, si ces nouveaux outils permettent aux différents experts de mémoriser et d’analyser leurs observations sur différents supports, les données générées par ces différents experts ne sont généralement pas spatialisées autour d’un même référentiel spatial. En effet, même si toutes ces données se réfèrent à un objet physique commun, les liens entre elles ne peuvent que s’établir par des stratégies d’organisation de fichiers ou par des méthodes d’indexation basées sur des mots clés. Parallèlement, si dans les dernières années plusieurs techniques de numérisation 3D ont été expérimentées dans le but de générer des représentations géométriques denses et précises, les méthodes de traitement et de structuration de ces données 3D ne fournissent pas encore de cadres opérationnels pour l’extraction d'informations pertinentes pour l’analyse et l’interprétation de l’état de conservation. En se positionnant à l'intersection entre les domaines de l’acquisition spatialisée 3D et des systèmes d’informations, ce travail de recherche propose une ontologie de domaine dédiée à l’annotation sémantique de représentations 3D d’objets patrimoniaux visant à la constitution d’un environnement numérique pour la description de l’état de conservation des monuments historiques. Par l’interconnexion de descripteurs qualitatifs (reliés à une formalisation des connaissances du domaine) et qualitatifs, cette ontologie constitue l'échafaudage conceptuel structurant un système d’informations multidimensionnelles dédié à la corrélation spatiale, géométrique et sémantique de jeux d’annotations élaborés par des acteurs multiples et en fonction de niveaux de lecture multiplesThe conservation and restauration of historical monuments require a diagnostic analysis carried out by a multidisciplinary team. The elaboration of the diagnosis of a cultural Heritage Object requires direct observations, the examination of documentary sources as well as of diverse types of analytic data. The great advancements in digital processing, management and data collection opened unprecedented opportunities for integrating results, coming from both observations and derivative data, within innovating representation systems for heritage knowledge and documentation. However, if a range of new tools and data is today available to the scientific community and heritage experts, their correlation and integration with internal/external heterogeneous information is an issue that still remain unexplored. While these innovative tools allow different experts to record and analyze their observations with diverse formats, the results are generally not spatialized and referenced together. Indeed, even though all these data refer to a common physical object, the links between them is based only on file organization strategies or by keyword-based indexation methods. In parallel, in recent years, several 3D digitization technics has been used for generating dense and accurate geometrical representations, but the processing and structuration method of these 3D data don’t include yet an operational framework for retrieving relevant information regarding their conservation state and an interpretative analysis. Positioned in the intersection between 3D spatialized acquisition domain and information management, this research work aims to the creation of a digital framework for recording conservation state description of historical monument throughout the introduction of a functional domain ontology for the semantic annotations of heritage objects 3D representations. The proposed ontology comprises both qualitative (related to a domain knowledge formalization) and quantitative descriptors, constituting the necessary conceptual scaffold for structuring a multidimensional information system dedicated to the correlation of spatial, geometrical and semantic multi-actor annotations in relation to multiple observation levels

Full textAbstract:
This piece of work analyses the existing condition of the Brazilian. architectural heritage, focusing especially on the historic cities. In order to make it possible, the study first of all analyses the Brazilian historical background with the purpose of establishing a relationship between the circumstances and conditions in which these cities were created. Initially, the scenery of the landscape, the geographical aspects of nature, the climate and the people who converged on this New World in South America, thus initiating the Brazilian diversity of culture and behaviour, are considered. Historical, political, social, and financial factors which were involved in the construction of these cities are also shown in order to facilitate the understanding of their character and meaning. The aim of this study is to analyse aspects of the conservation of listed buildings in these special areas known as historic cities. In order to evaluate the extent of the problem, and because the Brazilian official institution which is responsible for the care of the heritage is supported by the government, specific situations occurring in different regions will be shown. The legislation related to the protection of the listed artefacts in which are included listed buildings and also urban areas is analysed in its application and results. This study takes into account the most important concentration of historic cities in Brazil, which were constructed in the eighteenth century, in the state of Minas Gerais, and then, describes the in-depth research conducted in one of these special cities - Mariana - in order to provide data and arguments for the evaluation of the protection of the historic cities in Brazil. Looking initially at the whole of the Brazilian architectural heritage values, and then focusing on a special area in order to study and evaluate rules and schemes concerning the protection and conservation of the historic cities, this research aims to find a methodology for the restoration and conservation of those cities as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Brisbane City Hall (BCH) is arguably one of Brisbane’s most notable and iconic buildings. Serving as the public’s central civic and municipal building since 1930, the importance of this heritage listed building to cultural significance and identity is unquestionable. This attribute is reflected within the local government, with a simplified image of the halls main portico entrance supplying Brisbane City Council with its insignia and trademark signifier. Regardless of these qualities, this building has been neglected in a number of ways, primarily in the physical sense with built materials, but also, and just as importantly, through inaccurate and undocumented works. Numerous restoration and renovation works have been undertaken throughout BCH’s lifetime, however the records of these amendments are far and few between. Between 2010 and 2013, BCH underwent major restoration works, the largest production project undertaken on the building since its initial construction. Just prior to this conservation process, the full extent of the buildings deterioration was identified, much of which there was little to no original documentation of. This has led to a number of issues pertaining to what investigators expected to find within the building, versus what was uncovered (the unexpected), which have resulted directly from this lack of data. This absence of record keeping is the key factor that has contributed to the decay and unknown deficiencies that had amassed within BCH. Accordingly, this raises a debate about the methods of record keeping, and the need for a more advanced process that is able to be integrated within architectural and engineering programs, whilst still maintaining the ability to act as a standalone database. The immediate objective of this research is to investigate the restoration process of BCH, with focus on the auditorium, to evaluate possible strategies to record and manage data connected to building pathology so that a framework can be developed for a digital heritage management system. The framework produced for this digital tool will enable dynamic uses of a centralised database and aims to reduce the significant data loss. Following an in-depth analysis of this framework, it can be concluded that the implementation of the suggested digital tool would directly benefit BCH, and could ultimately be incorporated into a number of heritage related built form.

Full textAbstract:
International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been selective and exclusive. The early Republican architectural heritage of Turkey is defined through canonical examples drawn from the architectural historiography. On the other hand, more modest, anonymous examples, which constitute the great majority of the built environment of the period, are excluded from conservation status. The main argument of this dissertation is that the current exclusive approach, which selects only some important properties for conservation according to their physical characteristics, is far from understanding the political, institutional and social transformations of the early Republican period, as well as the role of architecture in this transformation. On the basis of this idea, a new assessment approach is proposed in this dissertation which could enable to gain conservation status to the whole diversity of early Republican architecture including more modest examples as well as the canonical ones. Contrary to the current exclusive approach which assesses the end product of a process according to its physical characteristics, the proposed approach is inclusive, taking into consideration the formation and usage processes with all their participating meanings and values and considering these processes along with the final physical form of the building itself. The proposed new approach is tested here on the specific case of the primary school buildings of Izmir, the great majority of which are currently remain out of conservation status due to their rather modest physical qualifications. The dissertation concludes that these buildings are an integral part of the education policies of the early Republican period, of the cultural and social transformations informed by these policies, and of the role of architecture in this process, and that these buildings are the tangible evidences of the meanings and values of this formation process. It then goes on to reveal the necessity of understanding the formation process through extensive research in order to be able to incorporate these meanings and values into the assessment phase.

Pretende o presente estudo verificar qual a influência que as Normas e Regulamentos assumem na aplicação de materiais e tecnologias tradicionais na recuperação de edifícios no Centro Histórico de Serpa e, como tal, na preservação de um aglomerado urbano no Alentejo.
O primeiro regulamento aplicado em Serpa foi o Regulamento Geral das Edificações Urbanas (RGEU), em 1951. Apenas trinta anos depois, na década de oitenta, vários outros documentos regulamentares começaram a ser criados em contexto concelhio, cuja articulação possibilitou a gestão do edificado urbano. De realçar que, dos sete planos e regulamentos publicados, quatro pretendem apenas regulamentar a preservação das características arquitetónicas do centro histórico de Serpa. Os restantes três, aplicam-se a todo o concelho.
É, nesta sequência, que se constitui relevante analisar intervenções levadas a cabo no centro histórico de Serpa, as quais foram alvo de licença por parte da autarquia desde 1951 até 2006. Foi, assim, selecionada uma área que se insere na região interior às muralhas desta cidade, zona que reúne edifícios mais antigos, dotados de características arquitetónicas únicas e de grande riqueza. Trata-se, pois, de um estudo que, com base na análise dos processos de obras registadas durante o período de tempo identificado, procura verificar a aplicação das normas e regulamentos vigentes à data da intervenção em causa, dando especial relevância ao parecer técnico elaborado pelos responsáveis da autarquia e a influência que tiveram na preservação do centro histórico de Serpa; ABSTRACT: The present study intends to check the influence that the Rules and Regulations assume the application of traditional technologies and materials in the restoration of buildings in the historic center of Serpa, and thus the preservation of an urban agglomeration in the Alentejo.
The first regulation applied in Serpa was the General Regulations of Urban Buildings (RGEU) in 1951. Only thirty years later, in the eighties, several other regulatory documents began to be created in the municipal context, which enabled the joint management of the urban built environment. Note that, of the seven plans and regulations published, four intend to regulate only the preservation of the architectural features of the historic center of Serpa. The remaining three apply to the entire county.
It is this sequence that is relevant to analyze interventions undertaken in the historic center of Serpa, which were subject to licensing by the local authority from 1951 to 2006. It was therefore selected an area that falls within the interior region to the walls of this city, area that meets older buildings, endowed with unique architectural features and great wealth. It is therefore of a study, based on analysis of the processes of works registered during the time period identified, try to verify the application of the rules and regulations at the time of the intervention in question, with particular relevance to the technical report prepared by the responsible authority and the influence it had on the preservation of the historic center of Serpa.

The unique architecture of Sana'a, Yemen has been the focus of international conservation efforts, which have stimulated local interest and contributed to the formation of a local discourse. Because conservation followed so quickly on the heels of modernization, Sana'a provides an opportunity to study the interplay of these two global ideologies in the context of a strong local tradition of building. The "international" theory and practice of conservation developed in a specific cultural and intellectual context, that of modern Europe: it is based on the idea of an historic past that is radically different from the modern present. The artifacts of this past are frozen in time, relics of a past that has now been superseded. But the increasing museification of the built environment is untenable, and also incompatible with current notions of sustainability. Conservation in Sana'a and other cities in Yemen is unusual because the "historic past" is not so far in the past; in many cases, it is still part of the present. This provides not only an interesting case study, but an opportunity to reassess certain assumptions of international practice that are based on the idea of rupture between past and present, for example, the notions of historical value and authenticity.
(cont.) In contrast to other studies of conservation, this dissertation does not focus on heritage as a project imposed by international agencies or by the state bureaucracy. Rather, it treats heritage as a discourse that is shaped on the ground by various actors, many of whom see themselves as representing the historic past. A unique approach has developed in Sana'a at the intersection of international and local practice, and it is this intersection that is the subject of the present work. The first chapter establishes the wider context of the project "site": it discusses the development of conservation theory and practice in Europe, with special attention to the idea of the historic city. Chapters two and three provide historical background on the development of the city of Sana'a and the UNESCO international safeguarding campaign of the 1980's. Chapters four and five take an ethnographic approach: they look at ways in which international practice has been understood and applied in the local context, by architects, builders, and residents. Chapter six traces the evolution of local discourse and practice through a series of projects, conducted with foreign assistance and by local organizations. The concluding chapter discusses the synthesis of international and local ideas and practices in Sana'a, and proposes policy directions based on this synthesis.

Full textAbstract:
The rehabilitation of urban environments by giving old buildings new functions is an old practice, but policies meant for encouraging rehabilitation trace their American origins back to the 1960s with the growing criticism of urban renewal plans and the rise of historic preservation values. In the U.S., historic rehabilitation has proven to be a way of revitalizing cities which have faced deindustrialization, disinvestment and shrinking tax revenues. Built heritage is especially vulnerable in these places because of the willingness of city governors to attract investment and development at any costs. This willingness of local authorities to let developers run amock in their cities might prove to be a bad strategy in the long run, even though it can bring capital back into the city fairly quick. In a climate of toughening regional and global competition over tourism and the location of business headquarters, the images and cultures of cities have gained an increasing importance. Careful and well planned redevelopment of the built environment has an crucial role to play in the re-imaging of industrial cities. Not including the new jobs and other direct economic benefits of rehabilitation, historic structures carry a large part of a city’s character and identity, ingredients desperately sought after when cities need to get an edge and show why they are worth visiting or relocating to. This paper has argued that successful rehabilitation not only makes use of the historic built environment, but also that it has the potential of renegotiating and redefining the history of a city (or at least parts of it). In this way rehabilitation can prove to have great public benefits in making new spaces available for public access and civic intercourse. City governors should not just look at quick economic benefits. A city where the urban fabric has been destroyed through profit-oriented and shortsighted development runs the risk of having gone into a dead end. A more prosperous future for the population, not just the developers, might instead be found in democratically planned and financially scaled down solutions in which the built environment is systematically reused. American developers and cities have proven to be successful in making rehabilitation financially successful for the property owner. Considerably less interest have been shown for the public benefits of these projects, often making them into isolated enclaves lacking legitimacy among the public and causing conflicts within the neighborhood. Developers are repeatedly accused of gentrification, displacement and for ignoring the public need for affordable housing. Despite the unclear public benefits these projects are often heavily subsidized on federal, state as well as city level. After having dealt with the growing general importance of cultural policies for cities, U.S. policies on historic rehabilitation are discussed and two large redevelopment projects in Baltimore and Durham presented. After that a Swedish case of inner city redevelopment through rehabilitation is presented, showing a contrast in both national policy and local practice. Swedish redevelopment has not been subsidized in the same generous manner as in many states of the U.S., and it has been more integrated into urban planning. In the Swedish case the city governors were not interested in preserving the built environment, but due to disinvestment new construction did not occur. In the 1970s, there was a consensus between leading politicians and local developers that preservation values would not be allowed to stand in the way of development. Until the early 1980s there was also a lack of local public support for preserving industrial buildings, as in many deindustrialized cities where industry has come to symbolize unemployment and stigmatization. The unique environment of the Industrial Landscape was finally preserved not through the actions of local government, but of architectural historians and curators representing government authority. Development of the historic district needed close monitoring at a national level since the developer had a very strong influence on local politics. In Swedish preservation policies local authorities have the possibility to landmark and protect environments much in the same way as in many U.S. cities with preservation commissions. If an urban plan seems to interfer with preservation goals, however, national authorities have the possibility of intervening in a similar way to that of state preservation offices in the U.S. In the 1990s development within the Industrial Landscape went into a more mature and democratically influenced phase in which goals of public access and attractiveness became increasingly important. The lesson from Sweden shows that redevelopment through rehabilitation can be affordable and that it does not need a whole lot of public subsidy. It also shows that the historical and aesthetic values need to be stressed in order for the development project to win the public support that is needed in a democratically lead community. The political leadership in this city, paralyzed by economic crisis, was heavily influnced by the developer, who was a large property owner in the city. But through monitoring, academic research and participation in public debate by preservation professionals, the table was turned and the preservation of the Industrial Landscape gained more and more support from the city in the 1980s. Instead of giving subsidies to the developer, the government located a national museum of labor to the district at a time in which economic support was badly needed. This showed that successful rehabilitation was possible here and that it would have considerable public benefits. Finally, it is also argued that the historical experiences of the national preservation movements have influenced the way rehabilitation is carried out. In Sweden, historic preservation has largely been a task for national government, whereas in the U.S. it has to a large extent been organized through national and local non-profit organizations buying up properties and lobbying for preservation causes. In this way historic preservation has been more integrated in Swedish urban politics, whereas in the U.S. preservationists have been identified as just one interest among others.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.A presente dissertação tem por objectivo investigar e evidenciar as vantagens da aplicação da fotogrametria, e possíveis integrações com outros métodos de levantamento, como seja o varrimento laser terrestre, posicionamento por GPS, entre outros, para realizar levantamentos de construções patrimoniais ou eruditas e a respectiva produção de documentação base para viabilizar intervenções de conservação, restauro ou reabilitação. A motivação para a investigação advém da aplicação flexível, versátil, simples, acessível, e baixo-custo da fotogrametria em projectos de levantamento pequenos ou extensos. Tenciona-se igualmente colmatar as desvantagens tradicionais da fotogrametria, nomeadamente a transição entre espaços interiores e exteriores, e registo de espaços estreitos, de difícil acesso, e de geometrias complexas, num único projecto de documentação. Pretende-se ultrapassar estas dificuldades através da utilização máxima das potencialidades da fotogrametria com o uso de imagens olho de peixe e apenas como último recurso utilizar instrumentos complementares. No caso de estudo principal, o Castelo do Convento de Cristo, demonstra-se a aplicação dos métodos investigados. Nos casos de estudo secundários abordam-se problemas parcelares, desde elementos decorativos até à totalidade do edificado: Convento dos Capuchos, em Sintra; Alcáçova e trecho de muralha do Castelo de Sesimbra; Igreja de Stº André, em Mafra; entre outros. Os casos auxiliaram na determinação de procedimentos a generalizar posteriormente. Por fim, propõem-se algoritmos que auxiliam na produção de documentação.
ABSTRACT: The present dissertation aims to research and demonstrate the advantages of the application of photogrammetry, and its possible integrations with other methods, such as terrestrial laser scanning, GPS positioning, and among others, to perform surveys of heritage or erudite buildings and respective production of base documentation to enable interventions of conservation, restoration, or rehabilitation. The motivation for researching is due to the flexible, versatile, simple, affordable, and low-cost application of photogrammetry in small and extensive survey projects. It is also intended to overcome the traditional disadvantages of photogrammetry, such as the transition between interior and exterior spaces, and difficulty of recording narrow, hard-to-access, and complex geometric spaces, in a single project. It is intended to overcome such challenges by maximizing the potential uses of photogrammetry with the use of fisheye images and by using other survey instruments as a last resort. In the main case study, the Castle of the Convent of Christ, the application of the investigated methods is demonstrated. In the secondary case studies, partial problems are addressed, ranging from decorative elements to the entire building: Convento dos Capuchos, in Sintra; Citadel and section of a wall of the Castle of Sesimbra; Igreja de St André, in Mafra; among others; The case studies aided in determining general procedures. Finally, algorithms that accelerate the production of documentation are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Rural settlements are formed according to local people&rsquos needs, harmonious with the land form and the climate, and have a rich variety of buildings using local material. But changes in lifestyle due to urbanization and tourism, socio economic degradation and poor living conditions have a negative effect on rural heritage and as a result, rural settlements become inharmonious with vernacular architecture and current lifestyle. Besides, due to its geographical and quantitative vastness, rural heritage is rarely recorded and legislations for rural settlements are so inadequate in Turkey. The aim of this thesis is to understand the values of rural heritage and suggest proposals for the conservation of these areas. As a case study Ö
renli Village in Kepsut, Balikesir was selected and architectural characteristics of traditional buildings, lifestyles of local people in Ö
renli Village, written and unwritten rules of this rural settlement were analyzed. In conclusion, recommendations were done for conserving rural heritage while trying to meet the local people&rsquo

Full textAbstract:
La réalisation du développement durable est une préoccupation mondiale depuis des décennies. La situation urbaine dans la plupart des pays en développement a été chaotique avec un boom de développement rapide et non réglementé. En Inde, la progression urbaine incontrôlée est le résultat de son urbanisation rapide dans presque toutes les villes. En conséquence, cela entraîne un déclin hâtif du patrimoine bâti culturel urbain, dont les bâtiments résidentiels vernaculaires sont particulièrement vulnérables. Avec la rapidité avec laquelle les bâtiments traditionnels disparaissent dans les villes en croissance d'Inde (qui est un prototype de presque tous les pays en développement), il n'est pas faux de les désigner comme le "groupe en voie de disparition" du patrimoine culturel de notre époque. Alors que, d'une part, la perte rapide d'anciens bâtiments pose le problème de la perte d'identité et d'une culture urbaine authentique, d’autre part, une volonté croissante (en particulier dans une partie spécifique de la société) d'adopter une approche économique pour conserver ces vieux bâtiments. Cependant, malgré les intentions d'économiser des bâtiments patrimoniaux de type vernaculaire, le succès n’est pas partout. Cet écart entre l'intention et le résultat crée un dilemme si la conservation du patrimoine bâti de type vernaculaire est économiquement viable dans les villes en développement. Combinant à la fois une approche qualitative et quantitative, ce projet s’adresse donc aux sociétés en urbanisation de Vizag et de Pondichéry, confrontées à un afflux de population et à une augmentation anarchique et abrupte de la demande d’immeubles et d’infrastructures physiques, dont l’effet de coalescence nuit au caractère original de la ville et de son patrimoine vivant. La recherche adopte la technique du coût et de l'avantage pour évaluer le type de rendement d'un investissement dans la conservation de bâtiments anciens dans une ville et en fonction de ses résultats, analyse les aspects pratiques de la conservation du patrimoine bâti vernaculaire dans les villes en voie d'urbanisation des pays en développement comme l'IndeAchieving sustainable development has been a global concern for decades. The urban situation in most developing countries has been chaotic with a fast-paced unregulated developmental boom. In India, the uncontrolled urban advancement has been an outcome of its rapid urbanisation in nearly every city. Consequently, this is leading to the hasty decline in the urban cultural built heritage, of which the vernacular residential buildings are particularly vulnerable. With the rate at which the traditional buildings are disappearing in growing cities in India (which is a prototype of nearly any developing country) it is not wrong to designate them as the “endangered group” of cultural heritage of current times. While on the one hand rapid loss of old buildings is instigating the problem of loss of identity and authentic urban culture, on the other hand, there is an increasing desire (particularly within a specific section of the society) to adopt an economical approach to conserve old buildings. However, despite the intentions of economising heritage buildings of vernacular types, not everywhere is it being successful. This gap between the intention and outcome is creating a dilemma if conservation of the built heritage of vernacular type is economically viable in developing cities. Building on a combination of a qualitative and quantitative approach, this project, thus, addresses urbanising societies of Vizag and Pondicherry that are experiencing population influx and unorganised and steep increase in demand for real estate and physical infrastructure, the coalescing effect of which is eroding the original character of the city and its living heritage.The research adopts the cost and benefit technique to assess the type of return on investing on conserving old buildings in a city and based on their outcome it analyses the practicality of conserving vernacular-built heritage in the urbanising cities of developing countries such as in India

Este trabalho apresenta a investigação das técnicas construtivas empregadas nas obras de construtores italianos ou seus descendentes no final do século XIX e início do século XX em Pelotas – cidade da zona sul do Brasil. O crescimento da economia industrial propiciado pela produção do charque e o conseqüente desenvolvimento urbano do município neste período da sua história impulsionaram o movimento migratório de profissionais europeus tanto da área técnica como artística. Entre muitos imigrantes, trabalharam arquitetos, escultores, construtores e artífices provenientes da Itália na construção dos principais prédios da cidade, fossem eles públicos ou privados, cujos procedimentos construtivos não se encontram em documentos ou registros bibliográficos. Sabendo-se que o desenvolvimento econômico e social de uma comunidade não dispensa a valorização de sua história, cujo patrimônio arquitetônico se inclui, e depois de transcorrido mais de um século do início da execução destas obras, é inegável a necessidade de conservação, manutenção ou restauração destas construções. Os resultados da investigação, bem como as descrições e comparações com a tecnologia construtiva difundida neste período no país origem dos profissionais, permitiram concluir que os construtores italianos aplicaram as técnicas construtivas comumente utilizadas na Itália, bem como materiais importados ou encontrados na região. Este trabalho possibilitou uma ampla caracterização da tecnologia construtiva utilizada e a documentação dos dados obtidos passa a ser referência para as futuras intervenções e pesquisas sobre o tema.This work consists of a survey of the building technology used by Italian builders and their descendants at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century in Pelotas, a town in southern Brazil. The economic growth which resulted from jerked meat production and the ensuing urban development of the town in this historical period encouraged the migration of European professionals, both in technical and artistic areas. Among the immigrants were Italian architects, sculptors, builders and craftsmen who contributed to erect some of the most significant buildings in town, both public and private. Unfortunately the building procedures used by these professionals were not documented, nor do they have any bibliographical references. The undeniable need of conservation, maintenance or restoration of these buildings after over a century has elapsed since they were constructed is a fact inasmuch as the economic and social development of a community cannot exclude its historical appreciation. This research enabled the identification of building procedures and imported or regional materials which were used by these builders on the remaining construction of the period. The survey’ results, besides the connection to the technique and materials used in their country of origin at the time, enabled an extensive characterization of building technology applied and can be reference database to future intervention or research about this subject.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most critical issues that the world faces as it enters the new millennium is the provision of a continued supply of fresh water – the source of all life. The depletion problem of this resource through uneducated use is world-wide as well as being specific to Australia. This study centres on this issue in the Australian context with particular reference to gardening practices in Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland. The study examines methods by which fresh water can be saved through innovative garden design options. The cultural philosophies which underpin Brisbane’s suburban residential front gardens were investigated through an examination of literature, painting, and letters of the early settlement days in Australia and, in particular in Queensland. The findings were used to establish the theoretical framework for a qualitative study of seventy two Brisbane gardeners and their gardens. These gardens were selected from sites in a corridor of seven suburbs occupying a south-east segment of the city. The corridor included these components – an outward historical growth pattern, a range of socio-economic and cultural issues, varying soil types, topographical forms and a variety of residential forms and styles with a range of compass frontages. Each selected gardener was encouraged to ‘talk’ about the garden and its design and ‘making’ and the comments were analysed in the light of the author’s theoretical investigations. The results of this investigation provided an understanding of current gardening practices which also involve the use of 50-60 per cent of Brisbane’s domestic water on the garden. The findings suggest that Brisbane’s, and indeed, Australian gardens are based on philosophical notions that have Eurocentric foundations. Alternative and innovative water saving practices were explored and these techniques were modified to suit the design and construction of Brisbane gardens, whilst still satisfying the cultural values behind existing garden practices. The conclusions suggest that if gardeners are to be convinced about adopting water saving techniques, future garden designs must meet existing norms in terms of form and function as well as being able to conserve water.

Full textAbstract:
The survival of vernacular architecture in the world, and particularly in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, is under threat due to rapid modernization, urbanization, socioeconomic transformation, loss of its characteristics resulting from changes and development, and misinterpretation of its typology as well as serious issues of abandonment. Most Negeri Sembilan traditional Malay houses (NSTMH), in some cases over one hundred years old, are unprotected and are becoming derelict. The vernacular value of these houses and their preservation for future generations are therefore threatened. To date, little research has been undertaken into the challenges posed in the conservation of NSTMH from the perspectives of house owners and professionals, and how the changing patterns of their form, fabric, and function have shaped the challenges of preserving them. To explore this from a more holistic approach, existing local heritage legislation that protects traditional Malay houses in particular or timber vernacular architecture in general, and international charters were reviewed, as also successful cases of preservation of similar heritage. This research employs a multi-method qualitative approach by examining as a purposive sample selected 19th-century long-roof-type NSTMHs. The research methods consisted of semi-structured interviews with house owners and conservation experts, on-site survey of the houses’ changing patterns of form, fabric, and function, as well as reviews of the conservation heritage legislation context (national/ local) and international charters. Interview data were analysed using thematic analysis, while the accepted concept model of cultural heritage was used for analysis of the patterns of changes in the cases examined. Documents were reviewed using template analysis. Findings from the research outline the main challenges that include a lack of appreciation and understanding of heritage among house owners, lack of traditional building skills, lack of government support as well as insufficient documentation. Nonetheless, there is no legislation in place at either a national or local level to protect the traditional Malay house. All of the findings were triangulated prior to the development of the initial framework and further expert validation was obtained to establish the final framework. This research makes a significant contribution in expanding the existing body of knowledge, through exploration of how the house owners understand, value, and appreciate heritage within their environment, in addition to including conservation experts’ perspectives in this regard. Moreover, the main contribution of this study is the provision of a Conservation Principles Framework for the NSTMH that may be used by house owners, conservation experts, officials, the Village Security & Development Committee, academics, and students as a form of guidance to the implementation of conservation works. It is also hoped that it may act as a starting point for the Negeri Sembilan state government to develop guidance aimed to safeguard this valuable Malaysian heritage.

Full textAbstract:
Guidé par l’hypothèse que la doctrine des Monuments historiques – entre positions théoriques, appréciations subjectives et arbitrages opportunistes – constitue le point aveugle de la restauration en France depuis la fin du XIXE siècle, ce doctorat propose de rouvrir cette question, à partir des textes et des décisions de Paul Léon (1874-1962), principale responsable du Service des monuments historiques dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Bien que son rôle soit souvent méconnu aujourd’hui, Paul Léon a, en effet, une carrière exemplaire aux Beaux-Arts. Il a été responsable du Service des monuments historiques de 1907 à 1932, membre de la Commission de 1907 à 1962 et directeur des Beaux-Arts de 1919 à 1932. Il est de plus l’historiographe du Service. Par ses nombreux écrits, il est le principal auteur de la propagande du Service des Monument historiques pendant la première moitié du XXE siècle. Paul Léon justifie les pratiques en leur créant un cadre théorique sans énoncer clairement la doctrine, ni que cela ne se ressente. L’étude de ces textes, remarquables à ce sujet par leur cohérence et leur répartition chronologique, permet de mettre au jour la continuité des éléments doctrinaux sous-jacents et d’en observer les effets dans les travaux réalisés. Il est donc également nécessaire de questionner la pratique pilotée par Paul Léon, à travers l’analyse architecturale de projets réalisés : trois restaurations phares de la période (Saint-Rémi de Reims, les places flamandes d’Arras et le Palais des papes d’Avignon), qui permet de comprendre les pratiques du Service. Cette analyse permet aussi d’observer les points de cohérences et les omissions des textes de Paul Léon et l’influence de la pratique sur les discoursGuided by the hypothesis that the doctrine of Historic Monuments - between theoretical positions, subjective assessments and opportunistic arbitrations - has been the blind spot in restoration in France since the end of the 19th century, the objective of this doctoral thesis is to reopen this issue, based on the texts and decisions of Paul Léon (1874-1962), the main head of the historic monuments Department in the interwar period. Although his role is, today, often forgotten. In fact, Paul Léon has had an exemplary career at the Fine-Arts. He was head of the Historic Monuments Department from 1907 to 1932, a member of the Commission from 1907 to 1962 and Director of Fine Arts from 1919 to 1932. He is also the historiographer of the Department.Through his many writings, he was the main author of the propaganda of the historic monuments Department during the first half of the 20th century. Paul Leon justifies the practices by creating a theoretical framework for them without clearly stating the doctrine, without this being felt. The study of these texts, remarkable for their coherence and chronological distribution, reveals the continuity of the underlying doctrinal elements and allows to observe their effects on the work carried out.It is therefore also necessary to question the practice led by Paul Léon, through the architectural analysis of completed projects as three flagship restorations of the period —Saint-Remi de Reims, the Flemish squares of Arras and the Papal Palace in Avignon—, which makes possible to understand the practices of the Department. This analysis also allows to observe the points of consistency and omissions in Paul Léon's texts and the influence of practice on speeches

Heritage conservation and management has its own challenges and opportunities. If done correctly, it has the potential to re-establish the thread of continuity with a previous time. Most prominently, heritage conservation and management has the ability to facilitate legislative change, promote reconciliation and social reconstruction in a sustainable manner. It is this research papers intention to re-imagine the conservation and management process at a postcolonial heritage site with a shared history and meaning. Keeping this objective in mind, Cockatoo Island is discussed as a suitable heritage site and case study for the paper. The investigation into the case study will be undertaken by taking inspiration from Roha W. Khalaf’s publication of Cultural Heritage Reconstruction after Armed Conflict: Continuity, Change, and Sustainability. The study will reframe Khalaf’s concepts of cultural continuity, change and sustainability, by investigating its application to the discussed heritage site’s conservation and management processes. The synergies between Khalaf’s conceptual ideas could strengthen the connections between indigenous communities and their heritage sites. Further, these synergies could also facilitate for the social reconciliation of post-colonial communities, especially in the context of shared history and meaning.Mini Dissertation (MSocSci)--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Full textAbstract:
Malaysia, after more than fifty years as an independent nation, is one of the most progressive countries in architectural development in South East Asia. In the last three decades, a conscious appreciation of architectural conservation has been established in the country. This study aims to provide a framework for the history and development of the architectural conservation movement in Malaysia, since a large vacuum exists in this area. Using the historical interpretive method, a qualitative examination of case studies and leading prominent personnel has provided historical documentation and useful insights. This thesis attempts to give a chronological account of the development and origins of Malaysian architectural conservation efforts, with particular reference to the role of the late Tan Sri Mubin Sheppard, catalyst and leading promoter of conservation activities, who became the focus of this research. Thus, Sheppard's contribution to the fledgling heritage conservation movement is examined against the background of the establishment and involvement of government agencies, primarily the Museums Department under the British Empire from the 1880s till the newly-implemented National Heritage Act 2005. The research starts with a brief review of Sheppard's life - in particular, his work in Malaya (later Malaysia), followed by a literature review of the historical survey of conservation organisations in the United Kingdom (the British colonial motherland) to see the influence of past events and conservation practices at the time. This thesis then examines Sheppard's contributions to notable Governmental agencies. i.e. the Department of Museums (DoM). and Non-Governmental Organisations. namely the Malayan (later Malaysian) Historical Society (MHS) and Budan Warisan Malaysia (BWM or The Heritage of Malaysia Trust). The major sources of information include accessible reports. relevant newspaper articles and journal collections in the archives and libraries in Malaysia and the United Kingdom, and in particular. documents belonging Sheppard in the National Archives of Malaysia, the University of Cambridge Library and the National Archives in the UK. Studies on selected conservation projects that Sheppard participated in (notably Istana Ampang Tinggi. Masjid Kampong Laut and Istana Tengku Nik), interviews and correspondence with individuals from organisations Sheppard was involved with (MHS, DoM and BWM) and visits to the sites were conducted. The research has been partly limited by bureaucratic restrictions and the confidentiality of materials available in Malaysia. The findings from this research give a new perspective and provide new knowledge on architectural conservation in the country and delineate a significant historical path for others to follow in understanding the crucial issues and challenges faced by those who carried out conservation projects in the early years in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
As generations segment and separate by distance and relationships, the chapel, school, and cemetery in what was known as the Saunders Chapel Community in Hawkins County, Tennessee, becomes a unifying bond to its descendents. This study records Saunders School history as an established central archive and uses the history for a restoration proposal. Saunders history, like all social and cultural history, exists as coalesced fragments. In the hope of deriving proof of the past, each entity and event is brought together so they might illuminate another. The story of Saunders Chapel will continue to grow and live on through the decedents, the site, and their history. The lives and faith that created the community has been brought to present light to insure the descendents of Saunders Chapel a place to keep coming home to.

Full textAbstract:
During the Battle of Hong Kong fought in December 1941, Wong Nai Chung Gap was a major battlefield as it was a strategic location. Like almost all battlefields in this Battle, however, the defensive military installations within the subject area, most in ruins nowadays, have never been professionally surveyed with the purpose of mapping the military buildings of the battlefield apart from those reported in Lai et al (2011) to better fathom the flow of battle. Indeed, the only professionally surveyed military relics were those by Lai and Ho for Devil’s Peak and Lai, Davies, Ching, Tan and Wong (2011) for Shing Mun Redoubt. All existing historical researches suffer from a lack of accurate mapping information, if at all, essential for understanding the conduct of military hostilities.
This thesis illustrates how an accurate exercise locating and mapping of three pillboxes (PB 1, PB2 and PB3), among other war relics in the vicinity, near Wong Nai Chung Gap in Hong Kong Island was performed; and addresses historical and conservation issues using direct on-site measurement by professional mapping techniques. GIS was used as the key tool for analysis and interpretation.
The survey results were then used to identify the configurations and distribution of the war relics in Wong Nai Chung area and to verify the authenticity of war diary records provided by the defender on the battle. Precise arcs of fire of key permanent defence structures in relation to the surrounding topography were accurately determined. They help explain and reconstruct a prominent battle that took place some 70 years ago. It should provide a solid referent for war historians, relics’ enthusiasts as to how the state-of-art GIS technology can be used in probing key intriguing historical questions. Those addressed in this thesis, in relation particularly to three pillboxes, the observation post (OP) on the summit of Jardines’ Lookout and Stanley Gap, are:
(1) Did PB 1 really kill that many enemies?
(2) Why didn’t PB2 report to have fired at enemies along the Ride or Wong Nai Chung Gap?
(3) Why didn’t PB 3 fire at all?
(4) What were the daylight vision of the three PBs and the OP on the 18/19 December 1941?
(5) What was the defence philosophy of the pillboxes?
(6) Was the Japanese portrait on the battle correct in terms of details?
(7) What was the role of the OP on the summit of Jardine’s Lookout?
(8) Were Brigade Lawson’s Headquarters protected by any PB?
(9) What were the locations of the military installations now destroyed or buried?
(10) What were the locations of the military installations near Stanley Gap?
To address the ten questions above, three working hypotheses are established for questions (1) to (3) while accurate on site measurements could be applied in finding the rest of the questions.
For question (1), the hypothesis is: PB1 could not kill that many enemies because of faulty or unsatisfactory design. It would be refuted if the beaten zones of machine guns mounted inside the pillboxes could cover the major military strongholds of Wong Nai Chung Gap area.
The hypothesis for question (2) is: PB2 did cover all routes of attack but only no information about fires was reported in the war diary. It would be refuted if PB2 had any blind-spot in shooting.
The hypothesis for question (3) is: the beaten zones of PB3 could cover most of the important fighting areas, e.g. PB1; PB2; the Ride across the valley; the West Brigade HQ as well as the upper reach of Blue Pool Road (then existing) etc. It would be refuted if PB3 had certain blind-spots.
The questions from (4) to (10) could be decoded through the onsite accurate measurements.
This thesis is an empirical analysis of how the professional mapping techniques are used to plug some gaps in the history of the battle of Wong Nai Chung. The aim of the thesis is to find out some enigma by means of on-site and desk top study. This thesis reports on a number of key findings: the main conclusions drawn from this research showed that, first, PB1 could cover the major military strongholds and both PB2 and PB3 had a certain areas of shooting blind-spots. Nevertheless, the OP together with the three PBs, could cover most of the southern side of today’s Deep Water Bay Road; the eastern side of Repulse Bay Road as well as the almost the entire northern dam of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir except the southern side of the reservoir. The results of the thesis show that the firing arcs of PB3 could not cover the major fighting areas in 19th December 1941 but it could have, apart from delayed the capture of the Wong Nai Chung Gap by the Japanese, inflicted heavier casualties on the enemies because it covered the Police Knoll and the reservoir dam which formed part of the Stanley Gap Road.
Secondly, by identifying the surviving war relics in Wong Nai Chung Gap, this thesis should contribute to better conservation research through on-site surveying of these features in a relative large scale which are not documented in any previous literature before. Upon finding out the accurate geographical locations of these surviving war relics, we could appreciate the rest of our research questions; i.e. the truthfulness of the inferred position on the Sir Cecil’s Ride below PB2 from the barbed wire stand which shown in the Japanese portrait; Brigade Lawson’s Headquarters was indeed protected by PB1 but not PB2; there are bunkers and water closets still remain intact in Stanley Gap.
In addition, this thesis offers constructive thoughts on how mapping techniques could be contributed to the conservation of historic war heritages.
Overall, the findings of this research proved that on-site measurements, together with contemporary GIS technology, can be used as a major tool of explaining the mysterious matters during the war.
This thesis comprises of five chapters and the style follows the norms in Kate L. Turabian.
Chapter 1 is the introduction. It serves as a general introduction to the thesis. It will commence by a historic review of the battle of Hong Kong in 1941. By describing the background of the battle of Wong Nai Chung Gap, it will points out some enigmatic problems found in war diaries. This chapter states the aims and hypotheses of this study and identify the scope of the research. Specifically, it raises ten specific research questions.
Chapter 2 is a literature review. It shows that the “state of art” of battle history is one of written records, collection of photos and small scale sketches without the help of accurate mapping inputs. Where plans/maps were produced in history texts, they were in small scale and hence of limited use for forensic or conservation purposes. In other words, historians are handicapped by a lack of sensitivity to the importance of spatial analysis. This review shows the significance and potential contribution of land surveying in military heritage research and policy development.
Chapter 3 describes the methodology of the land survey conducted. It commences by examining the theoretical basis as well as the principles of the technology used and will also present how mapping as well as the state-of-the-art Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques were actually used to perform terrain analysis based on the accurate surveyed positions of the war relics. Ten hypotheses in relation to the questions specified in Chapter 1 are formulated.
Chapter 4 provides the survey findings and analysis for the ten hypotheses.
Chapter 5 is the conclusion. This chapter summarises the thesis and discusses its methodological limitations and significance for heritage research and policy. It also makes suggestions for future research.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Saint-Louis du Sénégal, sur la côte occidentale de l'Afrique, est une ville d'une rare spécificité. Première cité construite sur le Continent Noir par les Européens au XVIIe siècle, elle a hérité d'un patrimoine urbanistique et architectural riche de par sa diversité et son originalité. Pourtant ces vestiges de l'époque coloniale sont aujourd'hui menacés : des contingences économiques, climatiques, ainsi que l'usure du temps font qu'à présent, une grande partie des bâtisses sont au mieux en ruines, au pire ont disparu. A l'heure où les pouvoirs publics semblaient ne pas savoir comment faire face au problème des dégradations du bâti, un espoir est venu de l'Unesco qui a classé l'île de Saint-Louis au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. A cette première intervention est venu s'ajouter une réorganisation de la gouvernance locale dans un contexte de décentralisation jouant des partenariats avec des ONG mais aussi des atouts de la coopération décentralisée. En conséquence, le patrimoine architectural subit de multiples initiatives de restauration et de valorisation. Il est devenu le prétexte, le support et le cadre d'un dynamisme nouveau qui s'exprime de manière visible voire spectaculaire dans la progression de l'activité touristique, l'essor du commerce et des services ; un dynamisme qui n'est pas sans tensions allant jusqu'à remettre en question le patrimoine exploitéSaint-Louis, of Senegal, is located in the West African coast. It is a very typical town. It was the first city ever built by Europeans on the Black Continent during the XVIIth century, and inherited a town-planning and architectural heritage which is consequent, because of its diversity and originality. However, those remains of the colonial era are threatened. Nowadays, most of the buildings are in ruins or have vanished, because of economic, climatic circumstances, or because of the wearing effect of time. While the public institutions seemed to be overwhelmed by this issue, the UNESCO gave hope by listing the city in the UNESCO World Heritage. In the meantime, the local government faced reorganization, and made partnerships up in a context of decentralization. Thus, the architectural heritage faces many initiatives of restoration and promotion. It now has become the pretext of a renewed process which is visible in a spectacular way, by the rise of the tourism and the development of trade and services. Moreover, this process is not without some strain, and it even put in question the exploited heritage

established in Early Republican Period in 1934 by Sumerbank in Kayseri.
Turkish Government who made merit of development and progress in the first
years of republic made a number of investments following variant policies. It was
considered that economic independence, social development and modernization
could be made by those investments. Industry was one of the major investments. It
was aimed to make economy independent by industrialization.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this case study is the renewal of Vällingby Centre which took place between 2004 and 2008. With its scale, ambition and content, Vällingby represented something completely new in Swedish urban development when the town district came into being in the early 1950s. The community centre also had an important role to play, it not only had a commercial function it also had a social and cultural function. Despite the fact that community centres appeared in great numbers, few of them remain as they once were. Many have undergone major changes including alterations and, quite often rather careless intervention, both with regard to their interior and exterior. New shop types, consumption patterns and increasingly fierce competition are just some of the factors that have led to the original values contained within this area being on the verge of disappearing. The entire town of Vällingby was nominated in 1987 by the National Heritage Board as a clear and well preserved example of an ABC city with regard to it structure and the planning ideals of the 1950s. An expression of such conservation ambitions signifies, however, a potential conflict situation with other interested parties and areas of interest, not least when it comes to buildings and environments that are for commercial use. The main purpose of this study is to deal with the renewal of Vällingby centre from a cultural heritage perspective. The first chapter will provide a background as to why Vällingby came about and present a picture of post-war town planning and the emergence of Vällingby Centre; while the second chapter will examine the decision-making process behind the renewal, where Välingby's town centre regeneration offers an interesting example of how areas which are classed as being of national interest are dealt with during the planning process. Vällingby Centre is an example of one of our modern national interests and of the maintenance and conservation problems post-war developments are associated with. The central parts of the town are also associated with a largely unexplored field of study, despite the increased diversity conservation intentions have received over the past few decades.QC 20120502

Dissertação apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitetura e UrbanismoA base principal desta dissertação passa pelo estudo da Ínsua de Caminha, no Litoral Norte de Portugal onde se encontra um singular convento e fortaleza que datam do século XVI. A peculiaridade deste conjunto terá sido o que levou à escolha deste local como campo de estudo, tendo sido objeto de atenção o seu abandono. Para tal, pretende-se efetuar o estudo das suas potencialidades enquanto monumento que se insere numa circunstância natural e física particular no território nacional, bem como a sua condição exígua e abandonada que encaminhou o estudo para os princípios da reabilitação do Património Nacional Classificado. Com base nisto optou-se por uma metodologia qualitativa que incide no caso de estudo da Ínsua de Caminha, ou seja, através de uma profunda pesquisa bibliográfica, faz-se um levantamento da identificação deste edifício através da avaliação do estado de conservação, a sua caracterização funcional e a caracterização dos espaços exteriores, com vista ao desenvolvimento do nosso objeto de estudo. No fundo, o domínio científico em que se insere esta monografia é o da metodologia de intervenções de conservação e restauro do património edificado. O trabalho culmina com avaliação do estado de conservação do Forte da Ínsua e após essa avaliação, é feita uma proposta de intervenção, com base nos princípios que foram abordados ao longo do trabalho.

The peculiarity of this set have been what led to the choice of this location as a field of study, have been object of attention its abandonment. To this end, we intend to make the study of its potential as a monument that is part of a particular natural and physical condition in the country, as well as its tiny and abandoned condition referred the study of the principles of rehabilitation of National Heritage Rated. Based on this we chose a qualitative methodology that focuses on the case study of Ínsua in Caminha, in other words, through a deep literature search, it is a survey of the identification of this building by evaluating the condition, its functional characterization and the characterization of outdoor spaces for the development of our object of study. Basically, the scientific field in which it operates this monograph is the methodology of conservation interventions and restoration of built heritage. The work culminates with assessment of the conservation status of the Fort Ínsua and after this evaluation, a proposal for intervention is made, based on the principles that have been discussed throughout the work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis identifies the causes and the process of the change of the historic city center of Samsun since the beginning of the 20th century by the role of the development and conservation activities. Because of rapid urban growth and the lack of conservation principles in city plans, most of the city centers have been subjected to growth-conservation contradiction. As a result of this, the historic city centers lose their unique characteristics and cultural heritage while they change rapidly.
The city of Samsun became an important trade and transport center since the middle of the 19th century and significantly improved in economic, physical and cultural aspects. As the tobacco production has developed, tobacco factory has been founded and the port of Samsun has become the most important port of the Black Sea by the middle of the 19th century, the Non-Muslim traders began to settle in Samsun. Hence, Samsun became an important center of the Black Sea region with its commercial activities and multicultural social structure. However, after the middle of the 20th century, as a result of the rapid urban growth, Samsun started to lose its unique urban tissue and cultural heritage increasingly. Today the urban fabric of the city does not reflect its historical importance. The remaining cultural heritage of the city belonging to early 20th century is not legible within today´s urban tissue. By identifying the change in urban tissue, the thesis aims to present the current situation of the cultural properties within today´
s urban fabric and prepare a basis for conservation.

O objetivo desse trabalho é propor diretrizes, que fundamentem a operacionalização da manutenção predial, destinadas ao patrimônio arquitetônico, com base na abordagem de desempenho. Visando contribuir com reflexões acerca da preservação de bens históricos, adota-se como objeto o edifício Vila Penteado, construído em 1903, e que permanece hoje como um dos raros exemplos paulistas do art nouveau. A pesquisa parte do aprofundamento do estudo da análise de desempenho técnico-construtivo das edificações, ponderada pelos princípios do campo disciplinar do restauro existentes hoje no Brasil. Os aspectos projetuais e construtivos originais, bem como as intervenções mais significativas realizadas e projetadas para a Vila Penteado, ao longo da sua história, foram analisados. O estado atual de conservação do edifício foi caracterizado com base na análise integrada dos sistemas da edificação: terrapleno, fundação, estrutura, cobertura, vedos, vãos, paramentos, pavimentos, instalações eletromecânicas e hidrossanitárias. A manutenção predial, já conhecida e bem conceituada, tanto no campo da análise de desempenho de edificações, quanto no campo do restauro, é destacada como elemento central e afirmada como um conjunto de ações programadas para a salvaguarda do patrimônio arquitetônico, permitindo a continuidade das condições satisfatórias relacionadas à segurança, habitabilidade e funcionalidade. São identificados os principais desafios e dificuldades para a implementação de um programa de manutenção contínua: falta da cultura da manutenção programada e do seu projeto específico; distanciamento das ações de intervenção prática em relação aos estudos pormenorizados do edifício; escassez de recursos financeiros para contratação de serviços; falta de valorização do orçamento necessário à manutenção predial, por parte da administração pública e indisponibilidade de mão-de-obra qualificada no mercado brasileiro. São propostas diretrizes para operacionalização da manutenção rotineira, aplicáveis a edifícios com restrições ao uso e ocupação, levando em consideração o nível de desempenho esperado para os sistemas da edificação, a alocação de recursos, a necessidade de registros e documentação das obras e continuidade das ações implementadas.The main objective of this study is to propose guidelines to support the maintenance operationalization for buildings of architectural heritage based on the performance approach. To contribute to discussions about the preservation of historical assets, the Vila Penteado building will be used as the case study, built in 1903, it remains until today as one of rare example of art nouveau in São Paulo. The research starts on the deep study of the analyze of performance technical-constructive of buildings, weighted by the disciplinary principles of restoration field existing today in Brazil. The projective aspects and original constructive, as well as the most significant interventions performed and projected for Vila Penteado along its history were analyzed. The current conservation state of the building was characterized based on the integrated analyze of the edification systems: embankment, foundation, structure, coverage, walls, vain, facings, floors and electromechanical and hydro-sanitary installations. The building maintenance, already known and well conceptualized both in the field of performance analyzes of buildings as in the field of restoration, it is highlighted as the central element and confirmed as a set of actions planned for the architectural heritage protection, allowing the continuity of the satisfactory conditions regarding to the security, ability and functionality. Are identified the key challenges and difficulties to implement a continued maintenance program: lack of culture of scheduled maintenance and of its specific project, detachment of practical intervention actions regarding to the detailed studies of the building, lack of financial resources to hire services, lack of the correct budget required for the building maintenance by the public administration and the lack of qualified labor in the Brazilian market. Are proposed the guidelines for the operationalization of the maintenance routine applicable for buildings with use and occupancy restrictions, taking into account the level of expected performance for the building systems, the resources allocation, the necessities of records and

O estudo aborda as questões relativas à preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico moderno e avalia a possibilidade de aplicação das recomendações dos documentos do ICOMOS para tal caso. A partir de uma seleção de exemplos concretos buscou-se evidenciar as questões específicas da arquitetura moderna e de sua preservação. Um breve relato das ações de preservação de patrimônio no Brasil explicita o lugar da produção da arquitetura moderna no conjunto de bens tombados. São apresentados casos recentes de tombamento de arquitetura moderna consagrando seu reconhecimento e a necessidade de diretrizes que orientem sua salvaguarda. O edifício da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da USP, projetado por Vilanova Artigas, inaugurado em 1969 e tombado pelo CONDEPHAAT em 1982, é abordado sob a perspectiva de sua conservação e preservação. Considerando suas necessidades de atualização e ampliação, a dissertação busca compreender de que maneira novas intervenções podem ser executadas neste patrimônio, respeitando os valores que lhe foram atribuídos.This study examines questions relating to the conservation of modern architectural heritage and evaluates the possibility of applying the ICOMOS guidelines in this area. Based on a selection of case studies this study seeks to highlight specific issues concerning modern architectural heritage and its preservation. A brief review of conservation in Brazil makes explicit the place of modern architecture in the body of legally protected heritage assets. The study presents recent cases of legal protection of modern architectural heritage which cement their recognition and necessitate planning for their preservation. The \"Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo\" building at USP, which was designed by Vilanova Artigas in 1969 and legally protected by CONDEPHAAT in 1982, is examined through the perspective of its conservation and preservation. In view of the necessity to update and enlarge the building, this dissertation sets out to understand in which manner new interventions could be executed whilst respecting the values which have been attributed to the building.
