The Visibility Criterion, an Instrument to Protect Historical Monuments from an Urbanistic Perspective.

The Roman-Catholic Cathedral St. Joseph, Bucharest – Case Study

Summary/Abstract: The urbanistic approach in our country according to the legislation in effect, states that the built heritage is protected by the historical monument status and its protection zone. The article is focused on presenting the notion of visibility as a tool to define, limit and bring under judicial regulation the protection zone and it is made of two parts. First part deals with the notions of visibility from an urbanistic perspective and the second part presents the case study of the Roman-Catholic Cathedral St. Joseph in Bucharest. The study illustrates the necessity to approach the visibility criterion in the foundation of the construction conditions regarding the emplacement of new buildings in relation with the built heritage. Conclusively, the visibility notion must be part of the specific regulations in effect, and the results of the visibility studies should be reflected in the restrictions and permissions of urbanism documentations regarding the historical monuments and the protected built areas.
