Strategy for Facade Restoration in Case of Craiova’s City Hall Building
Restoration projects involve, first, a very careful measure of intervention decisions in relation to the cultural value of the protected monument. The façades of the building represent the most exposed elements, being on the one hand the most visible for visitors, but also the most sensitive in front of harmful interventions. In this article, we intend to evaluate the relationship between the degradations of the façades, the cultural value and the intervention process through a case study: the building of the Craiova City Hall. The compositional analysis of the facades was superimposed with the analysis of degradations and harmful interventions. Based on the correlation between the two levels, we structured the decisions of intervention on the facades. Thus, the article aims to display one of the most complex design processes.
In order to carry out the architectural analysis, it should be mentioned that, due to the lack of archiving resources to ensure the accuracy of the process, the interpretation was made strictly based on in situ observations and historical images. Therefore, the architectural study will be presented based on reasoned hypotheses.
