The general objective of the discipline
The project aims at the assimilation of research, regulatory and intervention methods in the case of buildings with heritage value, by correctly identifying, protecting and enhancing the cultural values ​​of the studied building in relation to the heritage context and the current principles of the protection of immovable cultural heritage.
Specific objectives
Upon successful completion of the activities within the discipline, students will be able to:
- systematically go through and summarize the available historical documentation;
- to create an interpreted photo documentary;
- to make/update the geometric survey of the entire built fund of the studied building;
- to carry out a survey of materials and degradations with the indication of the causes and proposed solutions;
- to identify and evaluate culturally, historically and architecturally valuable elements;
- to map the construction and transformation phases (based on historical data and mural stratigraphy); - to create an architectural bibliographic documentation (references for the architectural program) and a specialized documentation (references regarding conservation-restoration interventions);
- to establish an intervention concept: restrictions and permissiveness regarding conservation, restoration, etc. as well as the limits within which elements can be modified or removed/added;
- to draw up the historical-architectural study to substantiate the intervention aiming at the correct identification, protection and enhancement of the cultural values ​​of the studied building in relation to the patrimonial context and the current principles of the protection of immovable cultural heritage.;
- to define an intervention scenario that takes into account the identification and involvement of the heritage community, the sustainability of the intervention, accessibility for physical and intellectual limitations or disabilities;
- to develop an intervention project at the technical project level based on the urban regulations in force, the conclusions from the Substantiation Historical Study and the intervention regulations established in the previous phase;
- to write an intervention report to argue the decisions and technical solutions within the project;
- to use at an advanced level means and tools for communicating ideas and projects orally, in writing, graphically and/or volumetrically;
- demonstrate the ability to develop architectural projects that guarantee sustainable development from a social, cultural, economic and environmental point of view;

Content:

The project is designed as a simulation of research and design works (conservation-restoration and insertion by expanding/replacing the existing built structures) and includes their essential phases for the intervention on a building classified as a historical monument.
Each student will work on a self chosen property that is validated by the supervising team. It is recommended to choose a building with an area of ​​approx. 150-300 sq.m. with historical and architectural value. The student, depending on the solution, can propose changes to the chosen construction without altering the identified values ​​or/and the addition of new parts (their surface will not exceed the existing one) which will contribute to increasing the qualities of the building, but also of the adjacent area. Each student must demonstrate the deepening of specialized notions (architecture, conservation and restoration) specific to the third year of studies in an institution with an academic profile.
The project will include several phases, each marked as a distinct discipline in the curriculum. Of these, phase 2 focuses on:
1. Analysis and interpretation of information contained in: a) historical documentation; b) specific architectural analysis of the building, on-site documentation; c) the bibliography about the constructions of the era; d) measured drawings;
2. Identification of historically and architecturally valuable elements;

Phase 2 Architectural Variants, 3 weeks
a) direct documentation of the heritage building: - sketches and notes; - interpreted photographic documentary;
b) completion of bibliographic documentation; - documenting the history of the heritage building;
c) architectural analysis: - updated, processed and interpreted measured drawings; - damage analysis; - mapping the construction and transformation phases; - cultural values;
d) the synthesis of the study and the establishment of the types of intervention: - plans at the working draft level, marking the initial conclusions of the study - values ​​and problems; - plan with proposals for use - functional schemes;
