dc.description.abstract-translated | Primarily, it is essential to note that right up to the present day no juridical definition or legal recognition concerning the profession of the conservator/restorer exists in most European countries. This in turn means an almost complete lack of specific regulations covering any anticipated conservation–restoration activities and the failure to stipulate the quality of these activities. The absolute need for qualified professionals, for a legal status, for an evaluation of the dynamics in a conservation restoration project and finally for an analysis of the essential methodological steps of the conservation project require the presence of professional responsibility, competence and qualification. It therefore comes as no surprise that at the very beginning of the conservation process of 20th century architecture the professional figure of the architect was not discussed in a manner reflecting such a person’s historical relevance. The task of the conservator/restorer at that time was to take part in a planning process that often started with a “reconstruction concept” for regaining the lost “original” design of the architecture. Reconstructing “ideas” seemed more important than following the traces of authentic materials, and documenting and conserving them. This was often justified by citing a supposed “special status” of modern architecture which was deemed too fragile and too ephemeral to be conserved as any other historical monument. It seems obvious that the colour investigation of the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau in 1998 paradigmatically reopened the confrontation between “conservation” and “restoration” in the field of conservation of the “Modern”, not only as regards the architectural surfaces but also the built structures themselves. Recent conferences organized by specialists in architectural surface conservation – as in Copenhagen in 2005 on “Architectural Paint Research” and in Brno in 2006 on “Materiality” – had without doubt an international pioneering character that has been echoed to some extent in recent restoration projects all over Europe – as witnessed in (among others) the case of the Haus Tugendhat in Brno. An attempt should be made here to illustrate the fact that effective “project management” based on a shared and transparent theoretical foundation is able to bring about a conciliation of these apparently diametrically opposed opinions and concepts. | eng |
