Weiterbauen am Denkmal: Internationale Fachtagung
Continued building in monuments and world heritage sites places the very highest demands on processes of physical transformation. From a conservation perspective, the focus here is on ensuring that any substantial interventions in culturally loaded contexts are harmonious and preserve the value of the heritage. In the daily business of monument protection, particular importance is attached to prudent management of planning processes throughout every stage of planning and construction, the aim being to select projects in a targeted way in consultation with all the parties involved, and to ensure conservation-oriented project execution. The discussion of experiences from recent plans for changes is elucidated with examples from the Wachau World Heritage Site and from Lower Austria.
