Abstract:

In the noble families houses, a sacral room or a separate volume made for relics’ storage or prayers started to call the chapel (German: Kapelle, Latin: capella). The name for this building type was borrowed from the Latin words cappa, capa. The knights for implementation of its policy on conquered lands inhabited by the Balts founded economically independent castles of stone that included chapels. According to regulations of castellum’s planning, the chapel had to be situated on the east side of the structure. In Livonia and the State of the Teutonic Order, the location of castles and cult buildings influenced layouts of town centres. Research goal: analysis the impact of cult buildings on layouts and spatial structures of castles and fortified centres to determine common and different characteristics in Livonia and the State of the Teutonic Order. Research problem: the influence of sacred buildings’ location on layouts of castles, built by the Teutonic Order. has not well researched. Research novelty: structures of the Teutonic Order’s fortresses are studied in the context of Italian architecture. Research methods: studies of urban planning cartographic materials, archive documents, projects, published literature and inspection of buildings in nature.

Abstract:

This article intends to analyse the historic village-castle of Kharanaq, which has been inhabited for over a thousand years in various historical periods. Different layers of habitation make Kharanaq’s residential context different from other castles or villages of Iran. This village-castle is fortified by high walls and is located at the edge of the Central Desert of Iran. This article focuses on identifying the interaction of the inhabitants with the desert environment of the village-castle through an analysis of its cultural landscape and the typology of its residential houses, as well as the current situation of its architecture and spaces.

Abstract:

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian] The Southern Bohemian Region belongs to regions where many hilltop settlements had been built since the Early Stone Age. However, the first fortified systems were built in the Late Bronze Age, as hilltops, mountain peaks, and promontories were fortified using complex systems of ramparts and ditches. This phenomenon thereafter continued into younger prehistoric periods, especially the Early Iron Age, resulting in the foundation of hilltops in the Early Middle Ages, starting with the 9th century and frequently continuing in the form of castles and manor houses built in the Middle Ages and the Modern Period. This paper is not only an attempt to summarize and survey the use of hilltop sites and the continuity of settlements but also an effort to state their classification, characteristics, and function considering their practical, social and symbolical roles, which can be detected in both prehistoric (sophisticated fortifications with no practical use, relocation) and medieval (show of power, the question of defence) heritage.

Abstract:

Abstract. Alsace is renowned for its rich castle heritage. With more than 500 listed castles, it is one of Europe's most densely fortified areas (Châteaux forts Alsace, 2013). Some of them date back to the 11th century, and most of them are in ruins. It was against this backdrop that these studies were carried out as part of the Châteaux Rhénans - Burgen am Oberrhein project, funded by the European Interreg VI programme. More specifically, within the animation and promotion strands carried out by INSA Strasbourg and Tourismus Südliche Weinstraße. These actions focus on the digitisation and digital promotion of the Rhine castral heritage. Two projects are described and compared in this paper. The Oedenbourg castle is a little-known site. Tucked away behind its famous neighbour (Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, Orschwiller, Alsace, France), this ruined remains from the 15th century houses a Gothic dwelling dating from the 13th century. The Oedenbourg, with its architectural elements from different historical periods, was now the subject of new excavations to shed light on its history. The ruins of Wasenbourg castle, which dominates the commune of Niederbronn-les-Bains in Alsace (France), are the second site to be studied. Historians agree that it was built in the 13th century, but the precise date is around 1272–1275. In 1592, the castle is mentioned as being in ruins. This paper presents the different processes undertaken for the digitisation, 3D modelling and 4D restitution of the two sites, using two different modellers, namely Autodesk Maya for the Oedenbourg and Blender for the Wasenbourg.

Abstract:

Immovable 3D cultural heritage objects are an important part of the history and culture in Europe and provide a tangible connection with the past for current societies. These objects comprise religious buildings, castles and fortified buildings, palaces and historic houses, as well as engineering structures such as bridges and waterways. In many cases the buildings contain historic objects, including paintings, furniture, household items, as well as personal items such as jewellery and clothes. The structure of these buildings must be maintained to preserve both the building itself but also its contents. Cultural heritage objects are exposed to weather, changing climate, deterioration of materials, e.g. corrosion, moisture ingress, biological attack, pollution, wear and tear by use and sometimes vandalism. One of the challenges for heritage conservation is to combine the current detailed knowledge with an holistic approach to assessing the overall condition of the object. These parameters are necessarily subjective and comprise deterioration that causes a visual impact on the object, loss of function or loss of authenticity. This requires an interdisciplinary approach comprising the expertise of conservators, scientists, engineers and working in combination with stakeholders such as owners of heritage objects, local authorities and the public. This paper proposes the use of spatial referencing of chemical, biological and structural damage functions to enhance the prognosis capability in heritage science. The current situation is that these individual damage functions are either assessed separately or combined in an ad hoc way. The paper contains an example of immovable cultural heritage at risk in Europe, scientific approaches for the measurement and prognosis of chemical, biological, climate-related and structural damage, together with analysis tools to identify spatial regions with multiple degradation process indicators present.

Abstract:

Terraced gardens are a particularly appropriate form of garden in Scotland where so many early houses, castles and mansions occupy positions on elevated sites with defensive capability.Terracing provided a sheltered site for the display of espaliered fruit trees and a place from which to contemplate and be impressed by the garden, the park and the wider landscape.It also importantly permitted a means of access to a garden close to the house, easily available to women, allowing them the opportunity to take the exercise recommended by contemporary authorities on health. The contemplation of the house from below, up a series of terraces, provides an enhanced view of the building, which dominates the landscape.As in Europe, the influence of Italian gardens, particularly those of the late fifteenth, sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries, which drew on classical precedents, was succeeded in the later seventeenth century by French models when the prestige of the gardens at Versailles resulted in the construction of more elaborate examples.Terraces, however, always formed only one element of the garden and complemented other features, such as avenues, parterres, fishponds and fountains, forming part of the total design.

Abstract:

Scotland has always been part of my origin story, though I never lived there before my fieldwork. My father is Scottish and my parents met as a consequence of both studying at St. Andrews University. When they divorced, whilst I was a baby, my father moved up to Edinburgh. I made regular trips to see him and, later, my stepmother, half sister, and half brother during the school holidays whilst I was growing up. He would often take us to see the sights of Scotland, its landscape of villages, castles, forests, and mountains. The Scott Monument, Culzean castle, the pretty painted houses of Tobermory, ham sandwiches and fruit cake eaten in the back of the car, the music of The Corries, the smell of the Caledonian brewery hanging over western Edinburgh (sometimes sweet and malty, sometimes strangely akin to cat food), the train through to Glasgow, the small glass of (Dow’s) port I was allowed at Hogmanay—this was the Scotland that was part of my childhood and I took it with me when I went to do fieldwork....

Abstract:

Castles and fortified villages in the central Apennines of Italy. History and conservationThe areas of the central Apennines of Italy constitute a particularly interesting research laboratory with its perched towns and its castles. Here there is a close link between the quantity of fortifications and the prevailing mountainous terrain. This has fixed in the history of the places a condition of correspondence that acts as a counterpoint to all its culture, from the economy to the costumes to the forms of the settlement. The inhabited centers also managed to guard the territory, like the numerous castles built during the Middle Ages close to rocky and harsh slopes. This because they are located in places that due to the altitude were naturally fortified, but which at supplement were enhanced with closed and compact building fabrics. The fortified villages have often elicited, with their walled houses and the steep and narrow streets, the representations of travelers-artists from the nineteenth century like the Dutchman Maurits Cornelis Escher. The purpose of this contribution is to draw attention to the reality of an architectural heritage that goes beyond the isolated episode of the feudal castle to create a network with natural and anthropic contexts of wider horizon. These are today subject to severe loss of identity due to the marginal position they often find themselves in and also to the action of the many earthquakes that have raged over time.

Abstract:

Fortified architecture between preservation and reuse strategies: the twentieth century restoration projects of Castelfranco in Finale LigureThe town of Finale Ligure, situated on the western coast of Liguria, was the site of the Del Carretto Marquisate until the sixteenth century. After that, it was under the control of the Spanish Crown (seventeenth century) and it has been an independent territory of the Republic of Genoa for a long time. The three castles were built on the top of Finale hills and they were the symbol of its independence. Gavone castle, established on the top of the historical town, has been the site of the Marquisate since the twelfth century. S. Giovanni castle was built by the Spanish in order to improve the town defensive system in the second half of the seventeenth century. Castelfranco, built by the Genoese in the fourteenth century, was rehashed many times by the Spanish and in the nineteenth century by the Savoia family. The three castles still recall these historical events and are therefore witnesses of the Finale present and past history. They are the result of the different transformations occurred over the centuries. In recent times, Castelfranco has been opened to the public and today it houses art exhibitions and cultural events. The restoration of the castle is the last step of a long-lasting rehabilitation project history that has been developed since the 1900s, when the Municipality suggested to turn it into a hotel. The article analyses the restoration projects of Castelfranco that have been carried out in the first half of the twentieth century, which had different methodologies and approaches. Though this study the article highlights the perception that the town had about the castle, identifying the changes in the balance between reuse and conservation strategies after the first Italian preservation laws.
