Lietuvos mūrinės architektūros paveldotvarkos tendencijos sovietmečiu ; Trends in the Lithuanian heritage conservation of masonry architecture during the soviet period
The present dissertation, building on the contemporary heritage conservation theories, presents the investigation and assessment of the Lithuanian heritage conservation work on masonry architecture during the Soviet period. Seeking to reveal the widest context possible, a fair amount of attention has been paid to the survey and assessment of the development of the European heritage conservation and international documents regulating heritage conservation work. Within the European context, the given study introduces the assessment of the methodologies for heritage conservation works announced in Lithuania during the period of Soviet times. Analysing the heritage conservation operations that were carried out at that time the following types of the given work have been distinguished: reconstruction, restoration: a) the complete restoration of a building; b) the partial restoration of a building: the prospect of, most frequently, one or, more rarely, several (but not of all) facades of a building is being recreated and c) fragmentary restoration: in one or several facades compositions of the early architectural elements are being exposed, restored and displayed; and 3) preservation. It has been established that the recreation of missing architectural parts was carried out using several methods: 1) information of scientific research; 2) logical interpretations inspired by scientific research; 3) the combination of scientific research and creative interpretation; and 4) creative interpretation. The research has showed that during the building restoration in the Soviet period it was nearly always attempted to recreate an architectural composition as old as possible irrespective of the existing lack of information. On the one hand, it can be assessed negatively, because in the course of the recreation of primary architectural compositions the authentic layers of the end of the 18th – 19th centuries were destroyed. However, on the other hand, thanks to the restoration recreated Gothic and Renaissance compositions revealed the origins of the masonry residential architecture reaching the 15th century. The conducted restoration works enabled to disclose national, artistic, technical and cognitive values of buildings.
