This article presents some of the problems raised by the restoration of the iconostasis from St. George church from Mogosoaia, Ilfov county. I particularly refer to the aspects regarding the restoring of the iconographic program disrupted by old restoration interventions. I particularly refer to the aspects regarding the restoration of the areas where the iconographic program was disrupted by old restoration interventions. It was necessary to disassemble and reposition the sculpted friezes and icons in the appropriate order. The operations were hindered by the incorrect anchorage with nails hammered from the front of the iconostasis. The introduction presents some elements regarding the iconostasis’ artistic technique. It continues with information on the church’s history and some of the past works. Then, I am presenting the iconographic program and synthetically indicate the main coordinates of the restoration treatment applied.The article contains a few images representative for my endeavour.

In the church of Tismana monastery the microclimate variations together with the breakdown of the improvised heating installation led to a poor conservation of the iconostasis. Between 2103 and 2015, our team coordinated by Mirela Constantin carried out complex work to reposition and secure the structure, stop the evolving degradation processes, restore the painting and the polychrome sculpture. In 2015, the head of the monastery ceased the contract unilaterally despite the execution of 70% of the work. The restoration continued until 2017 by the students of West University – Timişoara and graduated of the Faculty of Theology in Bucharest coordinated by Prof. Doina Mihăilescu Ph.D. Although the restored elements executed by our team established the reference points, the second team didn’t comply with the restoration concept and the ensemble lost its aesthetical unity. This article underlines the fact that the actual appearance of the iconostasis is not the result of our intervention and we bring forward our work from 201—2015.

Icoanei Church from Bucharest was built between 1784-1786 by Panait Băbeanu, a great captain in the military forces (lefegii). It was the product of troubled times marked by a new type of social and economic life, intended for the urban space par excellence and the development of the architecture and auxiliary arts in Wallachia and Moldavia corresponded to the Turkish-Fanariot regime. The fresco ensemble from the Icoanei Church in Bucharest was overpainted in many stages in different techniques, the final layer being oil paint. Recent restoration work between 2010-2017 on the mural highlighted the evolution of the interventions in time and mostly led to the discovery and assigning of the 18th century iconography.

The article presents survey plans of official statistics prepared in close cooperation with government authorities, local government units, as well as business, social and union organisations. The primary criterion for the preparation of the program was to provide a constant observation the socio-economic situation of the country. The proposed surveys will provide information to conduct analyzes and ongoing evaluations, used to forecast trends and historical and international comparisons.

The sanitary problems in the 18th century Europe led to the emergence of the pavilion-type hospital, first introduced in England (1758-1765) and developed all over the world in the 19th century, as a rigor of the time regarding patients isolation in separate single-levelled pavilions settled around gardens. Romania adopted this modern type of construction, most of the hospitals built between 1875 and 1900 were made in a pavilion system. There has always been a double pressure on historic hospitals, the first regarding constant change to meet the health standards and the second regarding the survival as a historic monument by preserving the original physical components, interior, exterior or context. To what extent does the functional updating (layout modification, new wings, connected wings between pavilions, etc.) of the historical monument lead to the loss of its authenticity? What is the main premise in restoring a historic monument hospital and what are the limits for such restoration? The authors are trying to find answers to these questions by presenting a case study regarding the evolution of the military pavilion hospital ”Aristide Serfioti” in Galați (1883-1886). Keywords: military hospital – pavilion, historical monument, historical function, authenticity, compositional concept, conservative restoration / creative restoration, continuity

Rehabilitation of interwar buildings is a challenge both structurally and in terms of finishes and energy efficiency. Interwar architecture, the modernist built fund represents a significant percentage of the existing built fund. The lack of consolidation and rehabilitation interventions in the last 20 years offers the opportunity for such projects to appear. The specialized technical literature on construction solutions and finishes specific to that period is limited, with emphasis on using the traditional materials and techniques or the import of some techniques by means of Italian craftsmen. This article explores a construction technique less known today but quite popular in the interwar period – American masonry.

This article is a plea for restorations based on minimal, non-invasive interventions, whenever possible. A prudent, limited action will stop the evolutionary degradation process, stabilize the object, protecting it from the inevitable shocks of large-scale operations and allowing any other interventions without the need of major de-restoration. Such an approach brings multiple benefits through reduced working time, by limiting the restorer’s exposure to toxic environment, as well as financial benefits. The selected methodology was influenced mainly by the improper technical design of the support, namely choosing a wood with knots and fibre anomalies, as well as by the conservations conditions over time with effect on the integrity of the pictorial matter. All these required an archaeological research based on the principle of minimum restoration. The lacunae of the pictorial layer were more than 50% of the painted surface. To better grasp the composition and differentiate the additions in relation to the original, it was decided to selectively fill in a number of small lacunae, choosing a differentiated integration of putties, preserved primer traces and the wear.

The initial state of the two artworks presented in this paper is questionable regarding their exposure in the context of the opening of the Oriental Art Gallery. In the case of the damages presented by these paintings, we are dealing with two different situations compared to the ones encountered in the Occidental graphic artworks. In the same time they represent two particular cases because these degradations are the product of countless inadequate interventions during a long period of time. All these damages are the proof of some old interventions on the materials that make up the artistic object. All these deteriorations have appeared prior to the entrance of the artworks in the patrimony of the National Art Museum. Even though at the moment they are in a balanced state due to careful conservation, aesthetically speaking their display is not possible in this condition. The purpose of this paper is to present the typologies of the two artworks and the technical characteristics based on the mounting technique, the initial materials and the adaptations of the restorations treatment to each of them.

At the Art Farm we are building together with sculptors Marian and Victoria Zidaru, the project Triangle architecture-sculpture-agriculture, a set of houses, modular art galleries, conference rooms, workshops and concerts, in a concept of cultural and human ecology. We hope to make in the area a place for people, arts and crafts, with training experiences, increasingly necessary in the landscape of contemporary life. Keywords: Triangle: architecture-sculpture-agriculture, a new rurality, transmission and permanent learning, restoration in the broadest sense, architecture as a pretext, cultural and human ecology, art farm, rural specific, eco-economy, heritage and manual labour for all, education through arts and architecture.

Jau kuris laikas galima pastebėti, kad Estija pamažu tampa pasauliniu folkloristikos mokslo centru. Glaudžiai bendradarbiaudami su itin senas ir garbingas šio mokslo tradicijas turinčiais suomiais, daug savo darbų publikuodami angliškai, aktyviai dalyvaudami įvairiuose tarptautiniuose projektuose ir kantriai, su įkvėpimu ugdydami jaunąją folkloristų kartą, estų mokslininkai jau senokai laikytini šios srities lyderiais.
