Summary/Abstract: The present study proposes a detailed analysis of how contemporary interventions affect the architectural heritage of protected built areas in Bucharest. The research explores both the impact of interventions at the level of individual buildings and the effects of large-scale interventions that can significantly alter the urban landscape and the coherence of historic ensembles. In this context, the analysis includes an assessment of the way in which historical buildings are managed, whether classified or not classified as historical monuments, analyzing both compliant interventions – which contribute to the preservation of cultural values – and non-compliant ones, which may undermine these values. The paper also examines the legal aspects, highlighting the legislative gaps and challenges affecting the effectiveness of cultural heritage protection. Through case studies from Bucharest, the article provides a critical evaluation of the interventions carried out, presenting possible solutions for a more efficient management of architectural heritage in protected areas.
